A little out of your price range but for $175 the murdered out smith I/OX looks dope. If I had any sort of money right now, I'd love to have a pair.

I'd dish out the money for Smith I/O's. They come with an extra lens (high light and low light), they look awesome, provide a great field of vision, and the lens' are incredibly easy to swap out.

Pick out whatever goggles you want. As long as they aren't anything crazy with super-future-technology, you should be able to find them somewhere on the interwebz for under $150. I got $90 Smith something-or-others for $30 a few weeks ago.

I've got Fixes for low light and I like them just as much if not more than my murdered out poc lobes. Plus Fixes are REAL affordable.

This is why I love having a big face. I also have a pair of aframes, but honestly I don't like Oakley goggles at all. They need to stick to sunglasses and lenses for military use. But in response to OP, try checking out evo or backcountry or something, the end of season sales should be starting soon.

It's out of your price range but I wish I had gotten that airbrake instead of iox. Changing the lens seems easier on that Oakley.

Smith I/O with Sensor Mirror (best lens for flat light that exists) and either Ignitor Mirror (good all around lens) or a heavily tinted lens like the Sol X (good for bright days)

Changing the lens is kinda hard though. Giro has a much better system for that and the Manifest is awesome, but the Sensor is perfect for flat light, hence recommending Smith.

Its such a personal thing mate! But certainly I can recommend Electric EG1.

I bought mine a few years along so they were a bit more expensive, but today as an older model you seem to be able to pick them up in the UK for between £50 and £80 which I'm guessing would be under your $150 budget.

Two slight gripes would be that sometimes they feel slightly tight over the nose but you get used to it really fast and as an older model it can be more difficult to pick up spare lenses.
