My main goggles

By Anonymous Ranked #1449 - Goggles January 16, 2008

I have two pairs of these and lots of replacement lenses. I moved to these from the SPY Orbit, which are smaller and seem to therefore obstruct more of my vision. I have a big head though. I really like the gemini system on these lenses-- apparently, the space between the lenses is a vacuum so no moisture can get in there. Moisture between your lenses is like the blue screen of death for goggles. I don't know if it's true about the vacuum, but the guy at one of the ski shops around here told me about it and he seemed pretty credible. I can tell you I have never fogged these things between the lenses though, and I have POC Iris X's that I fogged between the lenses walking fast from the parking lot on a powder day. I can say these are 5 stars, but I don't love them because changing the lenses is always several minutes of pure frustration. I always bring 2 pairs to the mountain in case I face plant and/or fog the inside of a pair. That means on sunny days I have to change out and bring mirror and orange, and on powder days I bring yellow and orange. So I am always changing these things out. Should I buy one more frame and have a mirror, yellow, and orange, or should I wait until goggle manufacturers figure out that changing lenses SUCKS. I think I'll wait-- I've got it down to 4 minutes now. Wash your hands before changing lenses, you don't want to smudge your lenses. Also, they say never to touch the inside of the lenses-- I would like to see someone change a pair of goggle lenses without touching the inside of the lenses. Seriously, YouTube it.
