Heya NS'ers.

Do you have any experiences with the M2? Lens quality? Especially how the bad weather lens perform? Maybe compared to oakley?

Thanks thanks thanks.

Haven't used the M2, but I loved my M1's until the magnet on the nose of the lens broke off. Build quality was exceptional except for the break rendering the lens useless.

I recently got a pair and I love them. Lenses are easy to swap but won't come out on their own. Pretty good field of vision and (if it matters to you) they look sweet too.

But what about flat light etc.? How is the lens quality?

I have a 40% vlt. I believe they are called gold chrome. They are good for most lighting conditions since they are a medium tint. Anon also has a feature on their website which allows you to see how their different tint options will react in different light.

I love mine, the other day it was pouring rain and really cloudy and murky out and I put in my bad weather lense in (took me 15 seconds) and it looked like it was a perfect sunny day except when I looked up at the sky and the water drops on my lenses. not sure how but they were amazing

Have them and love them. Anon has a bunch of other lens options than just the standard ones that come with each pair. I have had 0 problems with fogging. The only downside is they are huge, they definitely won't fit every face. Prior to the M2 I had Smith i/0X, they're pretty comparable optics wise, but the convenience of the M2 blows the Smiths away.

I absolutely love mine, sickest goggles I've ever owned and I've owned Oakleys, Scotts, Smiths, and Electrics. The lenses are great, I personally just use the yellows pretty much everywhere. Being able to take the lens out is honestly the best thing ever cause I can pop them out in a second and shake out any water or give them some air to defog if I've had the face mask up for too long. I would say get a pair 100%, I've never been happier with another pair of goggles. Not to mention the field of vision (peripherals) is surreal. Fuck Oakleys or any other goggle company, get the Anon M2's.

I would also disagree with this completely, compared to many other goggles they're a lot smaller. Not only that but they are pretty much universal when it comes down to helmet fitment.
