Scott Tom Wallisch version or whatever they're called. I don't care too much about goggles as long as I can see

switching it up between oakley canopy and o2xl, the canopy has the best range f view, but the o2xl has a softer foam and way cheaper

Smith I/O and Giro Manifest. Giro Manifest probably has the best, easiest interchangable lens system of any goggles. Smith I/O are a lot more difficult to change the lens, but they have a clip in the back of the strap so you don't have to pull them over a visor, helmet cam, etc.

If you are concerned about lens, any dark lens is fine for bright days. For flat light and when it's snowing, Smith Sensor Mirror and Oakley HI (High Intensity) Yellow are the two best options. At night, you'll be fine with the Sensor Mirror or HI Yellow as well, but if you really want the perfect option, clear is ideal for night. Not really worth the money though unless you do a lot of night skiing, just use your flat light lens for night.

Just order black dragon NFX with fire lense and ordered 2 extra lenses clear and blue steel.
I hope they will fit good.

I really don't think the OP was looking for a decision breakdown... lol

I don't know, I have some oakleys and some spy goggles (don't know the exact names), but for some reason everytime I wear ski goggles they fog up. So last season I more or less rode with some sunglasses for the whole season.

2 pairs of Scott Fix. Some random purple pair that I bought off of a NS'r and a pair of Wallisch ones that I bought off of Decker (came with Eye Trip as well).

Looking at getting a pair of Smith IO. Yay? Nay?
