Best Goggles Ever full stop nuff said

[newboots]

All the rage where I work is the new model (M-4).

Still love my oakley windjackets. I just wear a cap over my head which covers the gap between my helmet and the Windjackets on colder days and it's perfect. No more full sized goggles taking up room in my ski bag.

Picked up the new Julbo Skydome goggles during last season with the photocromatic (catagory 1-3) lens. So far I'm really impressed. They could be a little darker for those bright high altitude days though.

PSA - Abom is having their winter sale now. If you were on the fence about getting one due to the price point, now would be a good time to jump in.

How do you pick the color for the strap/frame?
I don’t see any options. I’d like the Sonar lens, but am picky on frame and band colors haha

I don't think you get to pick the color of the strap unless you buy it as an accessory. But you can always call them up, and maybe they can swap it out for you.

I’ll do it. I’m in need of a good storm lens and a heated one is perfect for snowstorms

Super! Ordered a pair of the extremes. I've always had fogging issues. Loved my turbofan goggles until they fell apart. Last year I used the amazon fan that mounts inside the goggle. It's a little wonky but does the job. Looking forward to trying these out.

Just got ours delivered. I usually don’t have fogging issues with my Spy’s but last years in a fierce snowstorm I did and it sucked. Bad.

so I picked these up, I like the fact that there is LESS airflow and they still remain fog free (at least in tests I’ve read) for years I have had problems with my contacts in goggles that flow a lot. Especially Brikos. i guess when I’m focused i don’t blink as much as I should and this causes issues for me.

can’t wait for a big snow day!

As soon as there is snow I'll be testing out my new ABOM Heet model with improved anti-fog coatings and heater. It is supposed to improve the battery life over the older Heet models.

Definitely needed, I'm bringing two pair with me each day so I can swap them out when the battery goes. Both have the same amount of life to the battery. It must be the moister conditions here.

They cost too much to try a third pair.

Interesting I am still using my Abom One goggles and find that they easily make it through the day, mind you I only turn them on in bursts. Did pick-up a backup pair when they were on clearance and have lots of lenses, so am good for now, but will be interesting to hear about the new Heet model. Shame they no longer make a larger goggle as I do like the size of the Abom One given my huge cranial capacity

 

[Sibhusky]

I pretty much have to run them constantly most days.

That is only the case for me on really wet days, even then I usually get 5-6 hours out of them.

Ok, sorry if someone has said this before but TL;DR - anyone else amused that a thread entitled "Best goggles ever full stop nuff said" is 10 pages long?

The title is actually the TL;DR, and yes these goggles do live up to the hype ... nuff said

I actually had a pair that did that several years ago and they replaced them for me because they felt the battery was faulty. Might be worth checking with Abom if the goggles are still under warranty.

They aren't. I got a new pair last season. No difference in battery life between and the older pair. I guess the new pair could be under warranty, but I'm sensing it's a climate issue.

Whitefish certainly has those days! A lot of moisture in the air there.
