Best Goggles Ever full stop nuff said

[surfsnowgirl]

As I've gotten older I don't care for any color shaded lenses on my eyes. The light seems flatter and any shade over my eyes at all is annoying. My wind jackets are the best thing the I have ever come across but I've been more and more been after a clear lense but still with my mini goggle/windjacket protection. Here's my latest find.

Windjackets with a clear lenses.

Utopia as far as I'm concerned.

I'm gonna say clearly you ski on the slow side and it the East where it's almost always overcast cloudy and spring time warm

I would say most of those are generalizations. It's quite cold in southern Vermont so no spring time warm here. I'm not a fast skier but on cooler days there's no gap between my glasses and my helmet as i wear a balaclava so even if I did ski fast my face wouldn't have any skin showing so I'm not cold at all. I don't see much sun but if the sun is out I'll just wear my oakley sunglasses. As stated above windjackets aren't for everyone but they are pretty much mini goggle so they are the perfect eyeware for me.

Right,, totally, that was a stab at the crappy warm winter we've been having in the East.
I'm familiar with bicycling google-glasses. Other than spring skiing, I couldn't imagine for me but it sounds like you've got it all figured out and dialed in. If's working for you have at it. Not sure how you keep the balaclava from getting clammy and disgustingly wetting out, maybe you're not bothered by that, IDK. On a cold day, I'll bring three face mask to change out throughout the day, and I'm very picky about the mask, have yet to try a thick'ish ply merino wool mask. Actually purchased ANON goggles for the magnetic mask as it solves mask bunching up under goggle frame and or interfering with vision. Only the ANON goggle doesn't quite match with my Smith Vantage helmet. Cold days the slight forehead draft bothers me, the ANON's were a fail. I like a goggle foam to comfortably seal, keep cold air off my face. Also like them to fit the helmet without drafty gaps as my Smith I/O's do with the Smith Vantage helmet. I searched for shell with a high collar storm hood to bury my face into on cold chairlift rides, helps minimize reliance on a face mask. Yes, I'm very hard to please, never all that happy with anything, when I say I'm very happy with something, it's a lie, I'll find fault with it and thinking about it drives me crazy untill the next thing comes along to help me forget or not care about the old one

Yeah it's definitely been a challenging winter that's for sure. I've been wearing windjackets for years. My forehead never gets cold as the balaclava covers the gap on my forehead. I don't seem to notice it getting clammy so that's fine too. I've tried to like goggles but just can't. I find them bulky and I just feel like I've a blind spot on the sides that just annoys me too much. So many goggles out there and it can be challenging to find something that works. I hope you find your perfect goggles one day.

It looks like some info is out there regarding the new Atomic Goggle. I tried to zoom in on the QR code, but couldn't get it to work.

Another reminder in this now long thread of Andy's useful article:

Review: - GogglesNMore Universal Perscription Goggle inserts

Of the many topics that come up on SkiTalk.com, the ability to actually see where you're skiing comes up fairly frequently. Whether it be lens color, frame size, OTG (over the glasses), power vents, or a myriad of other optical topics, seeing is...

I've found I enjoy blenders sunglasses a lot but really nothing compares to my oakley wondjackets. In my world these are the perfect "goggles". Just got my latest ones in.
