No fogging, very durable, but choose a lens carefully

Fortunately I wasn't attached to them at the time, but I recently dropped a pair of these and watched them fall out of sight. Four days later I found them in a steep, rock gully nearly 2000 feet below. Aside from some scratches, the Phenom's survived that abuse well- so I give these goggles a 10-outa-10 in the durability department. I chose the Sensor Mirror lens to cover a wide range of light conditions, and found this tint a little light for bright, sunny days- but in low light conditions and flat overcast they were awesome. The fan worked well even while sweating during -35F climbing days, an impressive contrast in temperatures. I found the lowest of 2 fan speed setting too low to have any affect, so bring an extra battery and expect to use the higher speed setting if you plan on working up a sweat. Downside- the hum of the fan can be a little annoying after 10 hours.
