Ridiculous

So, there's a lot of hype on the happy lens. I have a choice to buy a pair of 2015 dragon nfx in any colored lens (and mirrors) for 70 bucks or buy a pair of spy marshalls for 90 with silver mirror lens (happy lens). Is it worth the extra cash? Has anyone used the happy lens and does it actually make a difference??

No, between a standard lens. I have used Oakley, Giro and Smith and have noticed nothing special. they seem like a normal, basic goggle lens

Nfx are massive. Make sure your helmet will fit with a pair of big goggles. (I'm assuming you wear a helmet)

Yes. Prisms are head and shoulders above anything else out there that I've seen.

Yea this. Never realized how big they actually are....they're huge in terms of both surface area and depth. They stick out sooooo far. I have still yet to find a helmet that looks good with them. Still a great goggle though.

I'd go with the spys. I like spherical lenses.

In their sunglasses I've noticed their lenses have lighter tunt but still make my eyes happy in super bright conditions. Might come down to them being blue blockers..

That is what happy lenses are FYI, just blue blockers.

the happy lens works, i love them. I just hate how the platoons have those little plastic things you gotta pull out to change the lens. But over all id say the goggles have the peripheral vision that i was looking for but didn't see in the EGO2's i was also considering

unrelated to OP, but at $140 the Marshal is a pretty good deal with two lenses. I thought they looked good too, probably should have tried on a pair..

i had a pair of Spy platoons with standard lens, got some scratches on both lenses, upgraded to Spy Doom`s with 2 happy lenses and i can recomend Happylens anyday, everyday.

i felt that there was something that made me feel more in control of the environment around me(maybe better FOV but i noticed more texture in the snow and such)

and they look pretty good on the face :D
