I really like these goggles! these are my second pair! I can't see how the branded ones are that much better.

I ordered these for my recent trip to Purgatory Mountain resort in Durango Colorado. I was hesitant given the low price, but based on the other reviews, I decided to give these a shot and boy did they not disappoint. I will be ordering a few more pairs for my next adventures. These work perfectly, look and fit great, and the magnetic lenses that are replaceable are a huge plus. The only downside i've found is that I can't seem to order just the replacement lenses. I'd like to have a few options as backups for scratching and color variations for different conditions. If i'm missing the link to order these replacements lenses, please point me in the right direction.Thanks!

I live in the Colorado Rockies near Vail and ski quite often so quality goggles are very important to me. I originally bought these because of the bright pink strap but what I love about them the most is they do not fog up while wearing a mask and these days that is super important! There’s great ventilation on the top of the goggles which is new for me - never even cared about it until Covid but now I won’t wear anything else. The ventilation keeps it from fogging up. They are super comfortable and lenses are nice and clear. I highly recommend these goggles and would definitely buy these again. They are an excellent buy and great value!

I give this goggle 5-star for the price-value ratio it offers, it is cheap but does the job fine. I used to be a big fan of Smith Optics for its performance under various conditions. However, the price for a Smith goggle with a spherical lense has gone to skyrocket high in recent years. E.g. IO series, and IO/X series are currently priced at $200 - $300 a pair. I appreciate the warranty and the additional performance gain under extreme weather conditions, but it is ridiculously expensive for a skier/rider who only skis/rides for a few days in a year. And the performance gain seems unnecessary for this group of people. For a fraction of Smith's price, I decided to give it a try (as it is for a friend, who is a beginner and only skis several days a year). When I received this goggle, I was surprised by its overall build quality. Lens looks great (coating is even and very reflective), and is firmly attached through magnets and two clips on the side. Foam is soft and warm. This goggle is an OTG goggle, which means you will have a wider view and less vision distortion compared to small cylindrical lenses. If you do wear eye glasses with a large frame, however it probably won't fit. With that being said, OTG goggles still offer extra comfort compared to other small frame goggles. And I recommend OTG with a spherical lens to all skiers/riders for comfort and better vision (probably also less likely to get fogged). My friend loves this goggle a lot, and it did not get fogged as easily as other cheap goggles. We haven't tried it on a snowing day nor a rainy day. For these extreme weather conditions, my intuition is Smith Optics will be better, but both will get wet and fogged anyway in those bad days. Maybe $200 lasts 20 mins, and this one lasts 10 - 15 mins. For the price differences, my friend and I couldn't recommend this goggle more (compared to a low-end Smith or other popular brands, which costs ~ 60 - 100 bucks), especially if you are tight on budget and ski/ride on a nice day. I do have a few minor complaints to mention at the end:1. I personally prefer VLT 20% for most conditions (10% or below is too dark). However, at this VLT, the only available frame color is red, which is a little disappointing. 2. The frame is a little bucky compared to my Smith IO/X (bigger plastic frame and less foam). Given the price difference, I won't pick too much on this. Wish it could have more foams (this will also make this goggle lighter)

I've already owned couples pairs of snow goggles from Smith and Oakley. These are bought for my girlfriend who has never tried skiing or snowboading before. These arrived super quickly, packaged in a nice-looking box.I chosed the blue lens with white band ones. They came with a microfiber pouch, which is common when you buy top-tier goggles. The goggles look fancy. The lens are tied with magnets, which feel strong to me. My first attempt to move off the lens almost broke the frame pieces (I though they were similar to Smith's Mag goggles, which require some force to pull them out). However, these goggles do not. There is a plastic clip lock on each side of the goggles. Only just a simple flip is needed to unlock the lens and then the lens can be easily removed. This design is smart.My gf has a pretty small face and the goggles fit her just well. She claimed that the vision is super wide and clear for her. My face is somehow big and wide, and they can still fit me with glasses on. But I can see the frame from inside and somehow will impact my vision a little bit, compared with my other superior goggles (Oakley Flight Deck, Smith Mag 4D, etc.), which otherwise would cost $200+. For this price level, I do not expect any goggles have every pros that match with those top-tier ones. Maybe a separate size choice would be more suitable for big face guys.Overall, they look fabulous and are comfortable. They are worth the price. I would recommend these goggles for entry-level goggles.
