Cool but a little small.

I have a big face and these are just a shade to small. They work with a hat but not with my helmet. The bottom of the goggle could extend down a little further. Also the adjustment hardware is super weak, So if you adjust the length of your goggle strap frequently it will break.

These are hands down the best looking goggles I have ever owned and the best performing goggles I have ever owned. I have them in black on black and my only recommendation would be to buy an additional lens for low light days.

Hi - great goggles. Are these OTG? (over the glasses - or can they be used over prescription glasses?) If yes, I'm sold...Bill

They aren't specifically OTG, but as long as your frames are relatively small, you shouldn't have a problem.
Great goggles

Incredibly comfortable fit, look great, and the lenses are top quality. Fits perfectly with POC helmets, which helps on windy days by keeping the wind from getting in. The black lenses are have a very low VLC, and work well for blue bird days but a set of replacement lenses for low/flat light is useful.

I criticized these once in deep snow when the lens popped out for cleaning mid run. However I have now purchased an additional pair for myself and my girlfriend who loves them. They look fab and work great...just be careful not to pop the lens out when removing frost in a major storm mid-tour.

These are an older model of the Lobes on a smaller face. They're definitely a big lens, but I hands down prefer them

My boyfriend finally convinced me to make the switch over to the Lobes from the Smith I/OS, and I absolutely love them. They have the same spherical tech going on as Smith, but are much bigger in the lens, which I am a huge fan of. These goggs are very steezy, and have perfect interfacing with the POC helmets (I wear em with the Receptor Flow model). I haven't had too many issues with fogging, except if I'm breathing into my jacket without any airflow- just as any other goggles would fog. I've worn them a few days at the resort when it's been frigid, and all day out in the BC, and have no complaints.
I would hands down recommend these to anybody- if you like the spherical goggles, then go for these!

I have had Lobes in one form or another since '08 and love them. I just purchased these and think they are a great goggle for sunny days. That being said go ahead and order a low light lens as well as it is super easy to change lenses and it will make a world of difference when the light is not ideal!

Hi everyone. I have recently purchased a skull comp 2.0, size xl-xxl, and am wondering if these would be a good match? Do they fit well, look good, etc. I am also considering the zeal eclipse sppx, and the smith turbo fan goggles. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Great goggles that interface seamlessly with my receptor helmet, which my crowbars can't do. I think they tend to hug the face better when you wear them under the helmet, but it may just be me. Lenses are pretty quick to switch out...less than a minute. Simple, functional and elegant...what else can you ask for?

These goggles are perfect for bluebird days.
They look great + the optics are very clear.
Comfortable as well.
On days when the snow is dumping, theres a huge chance(due to the design of the goggle) that moisture will accumulate between the 2 lenses.
During a storm, snow ended up in the top of the goggles and Mine actually froze forcing me to go inside and breathe/heat in between the lenses to de ice them.
On storm days I'd go with the SPY platoon which has similar optics/field of view and IMO is a superior goggle.

A helmet with a big brim eliminates this (for me anyway). Still, good to know.
Super Comfy!

I love these goggles! Despite how ill they look, they are very soft of the face, offer little/no glare and the lens is ridiculously easy to swap out. Would've had a 5th star if they had a buckle in the back. Don't like how you drag your beanie down over your face every time you put your goggles on.

Lobes All Black w/ 2nd lens (Gold Mirror)
Eric Luciano
Member since
Bought the All Black Lobes and the gold mirror replacement lens. The goggles look awesome and fit great with my POC Synapsis 2.0 helmet. Virtually zero room between the google and helmet, which is great. Changing the lenses took about 15 seconds. Obviously very easy since it was the first and only time I've done it. Completely self explanatory.
Does anyone have any recommendations for carrying a spare lens while skiing? It would have been nice if they came with a little bag for the price. I will probably use an old goggle bag but if anyone has a great way to carry them safely I'd love to know.
I will update as soon as I try them. I'll be using them Friday 2.3.12 up at Killington VT then heading to Vail next week so hopefully I can get some good variety and hopefully I can test them during some serious, much needed, snowfall out at Vail!

The Lobes preformed great in all weather conditions. So far no fogging at all and I wore then multiple days when it was snowing heavily. The black lenses are really dark which is great for full sun days and gold lenses are very versatile. Switching the lenses take a few seconds and I typically have been starting with the gold and switching to the black if it's too bright.

Poc sells a case for their goggles, very similar to the "Helmet Pod" case.
