Design or defect? (models with gold boost)

Giro Root Goggle

Giro Root Goggle

Rating for this product: 1 March 13, 2009

First the good: these goggles look great, the construction is decent, and fit a medium face nicely (rather small for large faces, and blocks some peripheral vision).

And now for the suck: the gold boost lens has a major issue with reflections inside the goggle. Can you guess why? It's because the flash tinting was applied to both sides of the lens. Regardless of whether this is by design, or if it's a defect, it is a poor showing for Giro. This issue, in combo with their hype about how their goggles fit their helmets perfectly (they don't fit any better or worse than most other goggles with a relatively flat top), and their near-premium prices, are insulting to the consumer's intelligence.

Seriously Giro, stick to helmets. And maybe think about not overcharging for everything you make.
