Best ski goggles

What is your opinion on the best ski goggles on the market today?

I previously had the oakley airbrake xl, but i am swapping them out this season (because they are bad). Tried the oakley fall Line xm and the FOV is pretty bad, but they look cool as hell. Imo, prizm are the best lens technology on the market, and I really dont want to swap away from these. Hodeverk, the anon m4 are dope, but expensive. The Smith I/O and 4D mag is rad, but I am worried about the potential distortion on the bottom of the 4D’s.


thoughs?

I'm no goggle expert but my smith's are pretty good. Oakley also has the XL version of the fall line which is bigger and might fit better.

The xl version will have a larger FOV, but I tried then and they are massive.

This, the lenses aren't too bad to change though. They also sit really close to your face which makes the FOV so much better. And spare lenses are dirt cheap.

I shopped around for goggles for a long time and came across blenders goggles. They are awesome, crystal clear lenses, 100 dollar price point, magnetic frame makes changing lenses a 2 second commitment. They also look super steezy in my opinion because they don't have that ugly border around the lense. For oakleys, you will pay upwards of 200 dollars and not even get a second lense, blenders come with 2 lenses, a solid case and a spare sleeve for extra lense.

every goggle except smith is made in the same factory and they all suck. Just get what ever is cheap and you wont be upset when they get destroyed. Joystick has a decent goggle line this year with good pricing. The only thing that's different between the $80 joysticks and the $150 oakleys is the logo on the strap.

They are expensive but I like Anon goggles just as much as my old smiths. I have the m4s but I know the others are great too
