Can't get a straight answer, which are the bigger goggles? The EG2 look massive but I've also heard the VZ Fishbowl's are even bigger. who has seen/tried both

Canopies and eg2s are basically the same size. I can't speak for fishbowls though

yeah that "trend" of wanting as much vision as possible. it'll be out of style soon. right when people start remembering they want to see less again.

Canopies have a smaller field of vision though

i've owned the eg2 and fishbowl and i think the von zipper provides a little bigger field of vision. you can barely see any of the frame when you wear them. i also found them to be more comfortable.

one would think. I got the apx last night and was pretty bummed. the foam is poorly shaped, it cuts in way too much so it eliminates that awesome view you would have.

I can honestly say they give me as much vision as my crowbars.

i understand that increased vision is the way they market it, but i have a hunch that most kids who buy them do it just because they think they look cool. if all you wanted was more functional goggles, you might want to consider one of those composite helmets wtih the racecar visor. at least with one of those youd be able to breathe through your nose.

i disagree, while they are bigger, when i looked through them the field of vision was about the same as the smith I/O.

i use EG2;s and still love em.

After trying crowbars, splices, canopies, fishbowls, eg2's and apx's, I definitely found fishbowls to be the biggest. Surprisingly enough, my cylindrical egb2's are bigger than eg2's
