Electric EG2 Goggle
Electric built the EG2 Goggle in such a way that it looks like the top half of a Russian fighter pilot’s air mask. An oversized spherical lens gives you a huge field of vision so you don’t get surprised by any trees or a beater boarders coming at you from either side. Soft foam padding helps to vent this Electric goggle and make it comfortable to wear on long days of riding, and a scratch-resistant dual polycarbonate lense fights fog and blocks all UV rays.
Bottom Line: Performance even the KGB would be proud of.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

They should still work. The area for goggles in the G10 MX is pretty big, it might be tight though, but it should work.

awesome goggles, work great with smith holt helmet

i have been testing goggles all season long. I tried all different kinds of smith's, oakleys, and just about every major brand. I have to say overall i loved these goggles more than any others. They arent completly mirrored unless its bright out, which is nice so the lenses can be used in more situations. They are comfy as hell, you forget you are even wearin goggles after awhile, and you pretty much have the same periferal vision as if you arent wearing goggles. i use a smith holt helmet, and have had no problems rockin these with it. And they also look BA when you are shredding the mountain because they are so unique. Overall, if you have the doe, go for it, you will no regret it.

Hi, I have smith hold helmet and i want to know will these electric EG2 goggles fit to my helmet?
By: Mikka aalto
March 18, 2009
we know what you ment :-)...anyway these gogs are so big that helmet compatibility is a huge problem. BUT holt helmet is pretty low profile and doesnt go very far down the forehead, so it might be the best helmet for the EG2's...it wont fit perfectly, but it will work...but i have to suggest smith goggles for smith helmets, their helmet to goggle integration is amazing

Huge Amazing Goggles
By: Jeremy T
January 7, 2009
I had the opportunity to use these goggles during my last snowboarding trip. 1. These are huge and I absolutely love that. This increases your peripheral vision. You can barely see the frame when you put these on. It looks like you're wearing an fighter pilots helmet when you put these on. They are super comfy and do well in bright bluebird days. I own the oakley wisdoms and aframes and I wish I had these. They look amazing.

Which goggles do you think are better, the EG2's or the von zipper Feenoms?

Hi! Why did you keep EG2 so bad goggles? And what you mean "-most lens choices are completley mirrored as opposed to kinda mirrored like the eg2's" Is EG2 lensses not completely mirrored? But what is it matter if visible light transmission is okay?
By: Mikka aalto
March 18, 2009
GREAT QUESTION!
...so the eg2 beats the Feenoms in these areas
-the "holy @$#% look at those huge goggles!!!!!!!!!!" factor
-superior feild of vision
...and the feenoms beat the eg2's in these areas
-fits more helmets
-most lens choices are completley mirrored as opposed to kinda mirrored like the eg2's
-fits people with medium size faces
-lenses are more durable
-comes with an extra night skiing lense (2008/2009 models only)
...eg2 cons
-fits only people with large large faces
-lenses are not completley mirrored
-not compatible with many helmets because of huge size
-lenses stratch easily
...Feenom cons
-not as huge and head turning
BOTTOM LINE: i say feenoms all the way because i NEED completely mirrored lenses, and i occasionally wear a helmet, and the egs are way too big to fit SOME (not all helmets), and the feenoms are pretty good with helmets...BUT if you can bear to have people see your eyes and dont wear a helmet and want total badass head turning style, go for the eg2's

Just wondering, what is the difference between the 'orange' lenses and the silver chrome lenses? is it just cosmetic? (i notice that the silver chrome lenses appear orange in the pictures)
By: Alistairong
March 2, 2009
orange is just an orange lens that comepletley see thru from the outside...the silver chrome is an orange lens that has a silver mirror coating, and from the outside it looks silver and is reflective

vision is great. Style is great. But... Compared to Smith's, these fog easy. I'm returning them for the I/Os

I am look at these as well as a couple of pairs of dragons. The dragons have ionized lenses. what does this mean and how would it compare with the eg2's?
By: schmegmatux
February 27, 2009
Ionized from dragon just means the mirror coating they put on the lenses. These goggles are pretty sick. Just to let you know they are quite big, but that is a good thing. They give you a really large field of view and with them being spherical as well, you really can't beat them as far as the field of view and clarity you will get out of them.

These goggles work great if your thinking about buying the do it. I have a bern baker helmet and they fit great with that if you wear the goggles with the strap over your helmet. If you have a r.e.d helmet or a smaller hemet wear the goggles under your helmet. Overall you should get these goggles if you like giant goggles. You have to have a big face otherwise the goggles won't let you breath out your nose that well.

these are sick goggles! jut buy them, its all I can say. If you ride anywhere that requires you to see anything on the side of you, get these. They are THE BEST for tree riding and whatnot.
These goggles with work with all helmets, but if for some strange reason they don't work with yours, you can always return them.
By: Dustin Kimball
January 5, 2009
these are too big for most helmets, you need a low profile helmet with a high crown that doesnt go very far down the forehead, like the RED mutiny or smith holt...a good example of a BAD fitting helmet would be the RED hi-fi, cuz that has a very very low crown...low crown means that the helmet will push you gogs down on ur face, like the foam will be resting on ur eyes, yeah not fun :-)

Awesome Goggles

Got the em this season, give by far the most peripheral vision on the market, as are the most comfortable goggles I have owned, the Mirrored finish is super dark, you can still see eyes from outside, but makes better for visiblity for night riding if you are looking for all around goggle.
Does anyone know if that little pouch on the goggle strap can
Does anyone know if that little pouch on the goggle strap can come off for the white model? I'm pretty sure they don't have a buckle to undo the strap but I can't tell how the pouch is attached. I guess if worse comes to worse you could just cut it off...

I've seen these worn with a helmet, if you want them bad enough, you could just buy them, and if they don't fit just return them for a full refund. If there's a local place that has them you could try them on, then buy them here so you can get backcountry's awesome return policy if you have any problems.

By: Rebecca Piersol

polarized lens are extra dark, they are not something you want in low/flat light, you'd want a yellow or orange lens for that.

You should be fine with these goggles. They don't come down that much right on the nose and they'll fit the helmet fine. I didn't find these goggles to look as large on my face as I did in the picture.Hope that helps.

By: bobby

You can pull them apart, you just stretch the frame a tiny bit and the strap comes out. They definitely aren't MEANT to be removed though because I could see doing this too much causing the frame to stretch permanently.

They should be compatible, your helmet has a really straight brim and nothing that would constrict it. It won't be a tight fit, but you wont be readjusting everything mid run.

By: ski2475076
October 11, 2008
All goggles stick out quite a bit from the face. That is the nature of the goggle being able to not fog up and give you good vission while wearing them. If you dont want to look like a bug, stick with a helmet, it is safer anyways.

By: Mickie

These goggles will fit your helmet just fine. They shouldn't cover your nose too much. If you have a very small face/nose you might try a smaller goggle but for most people these are totally fine.

Maybe, because these goggles are so HUGE they dont fit with many helmets, but ofcourse you can try. I suggest you buy The Smith Holt Helmet if you really want this goggle, because it has a tall fit and would match with the EG2, but as I sayd - You can try, but I would say the goggle are too big for the Giro Encore 2 helmet. :) Do whatever you want

When I look at the Giro Encore 2 Helmet It looks like the Electric EG2 Goggle will be too big, but of course it depends on the size of the helmet and if you like to have the goggle on the tip of your nose. I bought the helmet in Matte White with the Electric EG1 Chrome Goggle - Chrome Bandana White/Silver Chrome, which can be found at http://www.backcountryoutlet.com/outlet/ELC0096/Electric-EG1
