okay

By:

They are okay goggles. The first time out, the strap ripped out of the frame, and they don't seem to be as good as they could be. But they are still nice goggles. The Oakley wisdoms are better quality than these.

Awesome Goggle, great lens. The Orange Spectra Mirror lens is good in high light / low light / whatever light / and the goggle itself wraps your head. Good adjustment in the strap, and sits under a helmet nice and tight. Definately a great purchase.

Awesome Goggles

Probably the sickest pair of goggles on the market, never fog, and never scratch, would recommend these for anyone looking to purchase a quality pair of goggles.

These are sweet...

By:

The frames are a little on the smaller side which I like, they don't smoosh my nose like most others. the orange reflective lenses look sick and are good in sunlight as well as flat light. Couldn't be happier with them

they looked a little flimsy at first, but they are tough! I've had no probs. the only thing is that i had the soldier before and these cover less cheek so they felt weird. but I'm getting used to it. def really steezy. comparable to the oakley a frames, but nicer colors. i got tan mirror. I'm 100% happy.

Excellent goggle, just a bit unlucky!

By:
March 12, 2007

These are absolutely the best goggles I've had. They are great with low light and on sunny days!...
I was unlucky and the strap became lose after the first time I used them.

Well worth the money...

By:
January 30, 2007

An excellent goggle...I am not a big fan of the goggles out in today’s market. I do however like the look and fit of the Spy Orbit. No restrictions in your view which was very important to me. Like Spy advertises, the Orbits never fog up and I have yet to get a scratch. Trust me I have bailed hard on my face many times and still not a mark. Orbits fit well with the Reds Trace and Hi-Fi helmets. I use both helmets and the Orbits fit flawlessly. There is barely any gap between the top of the goggles and the helmet. Sometimes when bombing down the mountain the goggles do whistle. Not enough to be annoying though. The mirrored lens lets your wondering eyes "SPY" at the snow bunnies. All these wonderful options comes for a steep price but well worth the money in the end. I would recommend the Orbit Azzure blue/orange lens. Quite stylish...I get nothing but compliments.

Spy Orbits

By:
April 2, 2003

So i got the new spy orbits and they are possibly one of the best goggles ever. They fit very comfortably on a helmet and without one. I know it seems a little high in the cash but it is worth it. I saved up my money and i think it was one of the better snowboarding decisions. I read that they are scratch proof so that means you don't have to worry about them scratching so you can have them FOREVER! This is definitely spy’s best design. Also they are reflective so people looking at you can't see your eyes which makes it very nice. I WOULD ADVISE ANYONE WITH ANY SENSE TO BUY THESE GOGGLES OR THE DRAGON FOILS!

Optically correct?

By:
October 24, 2006

I've had a pair of these for a while now, and I generally like them. The design is one of the best. The optically correct bit was one of the reasons I got them, but I don't believe it. After a full day riding, when I take them off, my vision is weird and feels distorted for about an hour afterwards - like my head is in a fishbowl. This does not happen with my other pair of similar price, top-range goggles.

Fantasic Goggles unless you wear a brain bucket

By:
March 15, 2006

The goggles alone are awesome. Great lenses, never fog, very comfortable and look good. The down side of these specs is they THEY DO NOT FIT ANY HELMET!!! There is a slight curve to make room for the top center vent. So, while you are riding on a cold day, the center of your forehead is exposed and you get to experience "brain freeze..."

perfect goggle

By:
March 25, 2005

Just bought my second pair of Orbits, and put my original into semi-retirement with a light lens for storm days. I have used the Orbit as my only goggle for about the last 100 days of riding in every condition imaginable, and don't have a single complaint other than that it is a little tricky to swap out lenses. Extremely comfortable, fits well with a variety of helmets, is highly fog-resistant, great optics quality, etc.

The best looking goggles on the slopes

By:
January 26, 2004

These goggles look so sick that I had to buy them. Don't get me wrong, they do perform quite well. They are very comfortable on bright days, fit the face well, and stay fog free. Smith regulators are also a great choice, they are extremely comfortable and offer a better field of view, but they don't look as hot as the spy orbits do.

Great for girls

By:
March 24, 2004

I used to own the Spy Targa Snows, and though they were great performance-wise, they looked kind of mannish on my little face (I am a very petite girl) My boyfriend bought the grey Orbits w/ the rose/chrome lenses for me for Christmas, and they are far more feminine than the Targas. They wrap around much better, and their smaller design doesn't detract from the rest of my face. I love em!

sweet goggles

By:
February 21, 2005

Spy Orbits are great goggles. They perform well under any condition and the spherical lens makes it easy to wrap around your bulky helmet or your fat head. The most impressive feature is how they LOOK. So when you want to look great without giving up performance, these goggles are perfect.

About the sickest goggles out there in my opinion. Incredible comfort and performance not to mention you are gunna be the most stylish rider on the Mountain. If you need new goggles don't be turned off by the price, they are worth every penny.

Are Spy Orbits Good? Well.... I bought (2) Pair!

By:
April 18, 2005

I have to say... having my Carrera's for 20 or so years, I don't buy goggles often! These are a great goggle! Super clear, light weight and the fit is perfect (round face). My wife likes the Soldiers better (tall narrow face). We each bought (2) pair instead of having to change lenses! We bought the persimmon (amber lens) for low light, snow-clouds and bronze w/siver, bronze w/gold mirror - we love them! Thanks!

sick!!!

By:
April 8, 2005

These goggles so nasty (in a good way,) I have never had a pair of goggles this nice and I’ve been snowboarding for 7 years. The lenses are super clear and I can see everything even when there isn’t much light at all. I highly recommend these and Backcountry.com is the best site that I have ordered from yet. Great service and they get you your stuff quick and amazing prices as well. Get these now! My friends love them as well.

Sweet goggles

By:
March 16, 2005

These goggles look as sick as they perform. Mine never fog--even in extreme conditions. Also this is a crazy price--the cheapest they have these anywhere else is $120 and these are $70.Great goggles-- you should get a pair if you don’t already have ‘em.

Phat stylish goggles, bronze/silver lens is dark with a nice mirror look. The frame looks great, so you are sure to look good as you shred the mountain. However, they might not be the best fit if you have a large adult face.

The Spy Orbit goggles are ripping. They are perfect for storm conditions and deep powder. Visibility is great and the fog factor is zero! They are so comfortable that it doesn't even feel like you are wearing goggles.

my long-time favorite

By:
December 11, 2006

Now on my second pair of Spy Orbits - love these goggles. I took my old pair and put in a low-light lens, to use for storm days.
Basically, they:
1. fit great with a helmet
2. have excellent optical quality
3. are highly resistant to fogging
4. look sick
I have about 150 days of history wearing Orbits, so feel very confident in recommending them. There's no way you should be disappointed with these. Worth every penny.
Only other goggle I liked almost as well was the Oakley Wisdom, but it didn't fit as nicely with helmets.

Spy Orbit Goggles

By:
April 14, 2006

These goggles are by far the best goggles I have every bought. I just got my pair a week ago, and I used them for the first time and they are wonderful. I got a new pair because my other ones used to fog up a ton. The orbits don’t fog up at all and they are extremely comfortable and aren’t huge like some goggles. They are worth every penny trust me.

Pricey, but worth it

By:
January 3, 2007

I've worn my Orbits 5 times so far and I can't think of a single bad thing to say about them. Then again I shouldn't, since they are one of Spy's top-end models. They stay fog-free, even after boarding all day with snow in them (I'm a noob so that tends to be all the time). My lens is chrome persimmon, and are great in bright light, not so great in low light. The orbit lens does give you a slight fishbowl effect though, but it's hardly noticeable. I have a medium-large face and they fit slightly narrow, and if you don't have a nose bridge then there will be a gap. I wear them with my Skycap II which holds them in place perfectly, but without it they'll slide up on my face. So if you have a flat face/nose then wear them with a helmet. Other than that, they look awesome -- definitely the best looking goggles made by Spy. Although they're pricey, they perform and look like it. And at this site's prices how can you go wrong?

Review of steez

Ok, check the pic out closely on these in the deep red color look to the top of the lens and then towards the inside. Mouth, nose, eyes and off to the right red horns, a skull. Pretty sick design. Never tested them but I want a pair now.
