Aura optics is reselling cheap wholesale goggles you can get for $20...

This is the first three results for ski goggles on ali-xpress, you can try it yourself if you dont believe me



Compare these goggles to the ones on auras website http://auraoptics.com/collections/all-products

I got a pair of these wholesale ones a couple weeks back and they do everything the EXACT SAME as auras "nibuses"

Please don't support this company as they are selling at a huge profit margin and did not even create the goggles.

So you're mad about Aura selling goggles for cheaper than everyone else in the goggle game other than the wholesale guys? Eh, I bought a pair and love em. Probably just have the same manufacturer

those manufacturers will break their back for their customers, most of the cheap products are cheaply made, fragile, and low quality. but if you don't like it for any reason, most manufacturers will give you a full refund. I got earbuds that advertised "best quality" and the sound quality was shit, contacted the manufacturer and got a refund.

I don't really have an issue with the company or how they sourced their product, but I do have an issue with "news stories" when they play like advertisements.

True, everyboday has to start somewhere. Think about every "apparel company" that gets started on this site. Essentially the same thing; cheap Chinese wholesale purchase, add branding, sell at marked up price. I know Aura adds an anti-fog coating to the lenses though. Hopefully in the years to come they can start developing their own designs and whatnot. I can't discredit them though, they seem to be successful so far

If I remember right, the first thread I saw on this company emphasized low cost goggles that still had a decent amount of quality to them. Now they still have several $30 models, but they also have $120 pairs. Id pay an extra $20 and get a product from an established brand.
