Look great. Not so hot with lens changes, though.

These are some well-made, sharp-looking goggles, with a nice selection of lenses available. Also larger than average, so people with big faces/heads will be happy. (Although the strap seemed unusually small; it was awfully tight going around a Giro Omen helmet.) The wide selection of colors/patterns means you can probably find something to match your outfit, no matter how steezy.

The lenses are nice. The problem is, I really wanted goggles with easily interchangeable lenses. And while the lenses in these ARE interchangeable, it's NOT easy or quick. You have to pry out SEVEN little plastic pieces from around the frame, then wrangle the lens out, then reverse the whole process with the new lens. Good luck doing that with gloves on, let alone on the slopes. (Also, extremely poor/nonexistent instructions on how to actually remove the lens.)

If you only rarely want to swap the lenses, or just want them with a single all-around lens, they'd probably be awesome. I'm gonna try the Smith I/Os instead.
