idk, but all I know is the double lens technology can be bad. at least 3 days out of this season my goggles wouldent work because they were fogged up between the two lenses.

That's my review if you're interested, it's just a quick one so won't take long.

As to your OQ, the I/OX's have larger vertical peripheral vision compared to the I/O's.

^^ Ok, I guess a better comparison of downward vision would be those two compared to Splices

Haha, I was gonna say...most goggles use dual lense tech. Can anyone compare the downward vision between the I/O 's I/O X's and splices ? Thanks in advance

i find it hard to believe there isnt a ski shop in utah?? seriously you are going to get a different answer from everyone. just try them on.

that being said, IOX is slightly bigger than the IO in every single way. personally i find the IOX to give more vertical perif compared to the splice, but they are the same for horizontal.
