What's your definition of mid price? If our definitions are similar, I really like the Smith Vice, it looks good and I've never had any troubles with smith lenses fogging

The Scott fix is a pretty good mid range priced goggle. They run around 100 dollars
You can usually find Oakley crowbars on amazon for around a hundred dollars too

If you want to go for a spherical lens, go with the spy marshall. They're a great goggle for the price.

I've never used any dragon products so i can't say from experience but it looks like a pretty nice goggle. Cylindrical lens, personally I dont like those kind of goggles but if its at a right price point for you then go for it.

If you look online you can find some deals on some spherical lens goggles if that's what a look that you prefer but can't find a low enough price on. From my experience backcountry and amazon have had awesome deals on goggles.

Frankly the best thing for you to do is go down to a shop with your helmet and see what fits with your helmet, especially if you are going to be wearing them under it. If you can manage to make it through to the end of the season youll be able to pick up some hella deals. I got some Smith I/Os which I think by most standards are a high-end goggle for 90 dollars with a spare night lens .

super sick, worth every penny and they dont even have any warping (atleast mine dont) which shows me that they know how to make a good cylindrical lense. Also very scratch resistant and the antifogging is sweet

If you're lucky enough and check ebay often you might be able to get it for a lot less than 100. Both my friend and I got brand new pairs of fixes for about 40$

As Abraham Lincoln once said in the Gettysburg Address, "Air Blaster goggles are the best if you want to slay pussy all over the resort", he later mentions the "M.I.L.F" technology or moisture impermeable lens function.
