hey im about to buy a pair of crowbars but they're labelled "snocross snowmobile" as opposed to just "snow." this isn't some other type of goggle or anything right, it's just a snow crowbar?

just want to make sure. thanks

bump, anyone know? my best guess at this point is that they are the same, possibly with a bigger strap or something?

Probably does have to do with the strap, does anyone actually know?

I believe the snowcross/mx crowbars have sharper edges and a piece that covers the nose.

well that's what is confusing me partly... the pic (which im pretty sure is accurate) shows no visible difference, for example nose piece. but the (weird title that reads like one of those ebay titles that tries to list possible search term words) title says "snowcross snowmobile." i know there are MX versions but i figured it was snow vs mx and that was it....? idk

Cylindrical Lens instead of spherical, as well as a longer strap and wider frame size. to fit over a moto helmet.

They also have tabs for the pull off sheets and I'm pretty sure it's just a single lens not an inner and outer lens...it's a completely different lens.

I own both. One for moto and some for skiing.


Get the snow. They have the hard lenses as well as the 2 layers for anti-fog. The crowbar you found are going to be flexible lenses that will fog up skiing. They're also gonna have a little different dimensions and a longer strap.

Once again, for skiing don;t get these. Get the actual snow ones
