Gold Soldier or Chromatic EG2?

So I need some new goggles and I've been eyeing both of these for a while and just can't make up my mind. I don't really care for the Soldier's strap and I like the 09/10 EG2's better than this years, but I need something this season. I know everything else that is out there so id just like opinions on these two very different looks.

Thanks

just so you know, soldier are really tiny, smaller than crowbars, and eg2's are huge as fuck, way bigger than c bars.

id reccommend trying them on before dropping mad bank on gogs, to make sure they fit good.

Yeah probably a good idea, Ive only ever ridden with Bias' as far as Spy goes but I don't know how they compare. Guess I need to make a run to the store.

thanks for the pic man, i decided to grab up a pair of the soldiers since bc was running a decent discount and I couldnt find many places selling the eg2's in this colorway. besides i think ill get a pair of next yrs eg2's as i like them a tad better than this yrs. best of both worlds i suppose.
