Not Great Googles if you purchase extra lenses

By John Hart Ranked #1282 - Goggles November 6, 2009

I purchased the $200 Giro Manifest Goggles with 2 lenses and recently decided to add 2 more lenses for $85 more $'s... My poor vision needs all the help it can get.

So, I looked on Giro's web site and picked out the lenses and then ordered them through Amazon... "so far so good"...

but when the lenses came I discovered that they were of no use because they did not have the $12 "Giro Manifest Replacement Brow" with them... which you have to order separately... a fact that I discovered after several hours of calling several people in support (2 hang up's and then I got some one who was really helpful). FYI, all the lenses illustrated on the web site are "browless"... It sure would have been nice and save a lot of time if the web site would mention and illustrate all of this!

Secondly, there is more bad news... Currently there are only 2 Giro Manifest Replacement" Brows available anywhere on the web and none are in Matte Black which is the color I need... Also, the local stores I called have none in stock and don't know how to order them.

Finally, it is ironic to me that Giro advertises the Manifest goggles as having lenses that are as easy to change as opening a can of beer... but so far it has turned out to be impossible to order lenses that can be changed at all.
