Worst Goggles

[gerard]

What are the worst goggles you have seen/used. I have a pair of Briko goggles that I bought in a pinch. And I must say they are just really bad, and really ugly too, the most important part.

[burnpianoxisland]

Those ones that cost 15 dollars at the ski lodges haha.

[gerard]

yeah hehe, we were snowboarding during the noreaster like a year or 2 ago and I couldnt see a thing so I need something

[forumrider9753]

Not Anon, thats for sure.

[dirtyjerz]

low end scotts are pretty horrendous. and those ones that say SKI STOP on the strap those suck too.

[IRideASnowboard154]

I only ride nice ones :)
oakley a frames, spy blizzard, and anon figment. I want some of the new airblasters, grenades, or dragons im lime green though.

[thedude]

cheap Uvex, Scott, or other generic brand

[TumYeto]

i heard grenade goggles are ****. The lenses scratch real easily and stuff like that.

[Corkscrewed]

cheap Uvex, Scott, or other generic brand

i agree on the Uvex! i had a pair w/ clear lenses that i found somewhere, and only used them for night riding...anywho...they sucked! ithink i wore them twice, and they've been sitting in the trunk of my car for like three years!

[capita_bitch]

Worst goggles i've had were Dragons, over priced crap goggles that were horrible, i think the $15 goggles in bins would have been an improvement, bad lenses and bad designs. Maybe they've improved but i'm never going back to crappy Dragons.

[Matt Carl]

I wear watever i can find in my house.

[shred much?]

haha i had some cheap scotts from the lodge one time that i used for two seasons cause i had no money to buy new ones... the entire frame's color went from red to silver because i had to duck tape them after three days riding. and they would fog up like no other when i got on the lift...

[d219]

I got some Dragons last year as it was cheaper to get them than spare lenses for my Robins. Not had any problems with them, no misting and vision's fine - my other half and brother have Dragons too and they've found them fine too.

[smashvixen]

i would have to say scotts.....and as for dragons i heard its really easy to scratch the lenses.....

[forumrider9753]

some old ass scotts

[Devg76]

All this trashing Scotts ....hmmm well I like mine....DAMNIT! :) Seriously they are alright. I wear glasses so only a few companies make OTG goggles. If I found something else that works with my glasses I would switch.

[szaarh]

i will honestly take what ever that will cover, shield (what ever u wanna say) my eyes.

[forumrider9753]

I wear watever i can find in my house.

seriously??

[elmoiscool45]

All this trashing Scotts ....hmmm well I like mine....DAMNIT! :) Seriously they are alright. I wear glasses so only a few companies make OTG goggles. If I found something else that works with my glasses I would switch.

we arent trashing Scotts completely just low end ones that are like $15 at the lodge.

[Shaun]

I got these Bola or what ever they suck **** you can have them if you want.
I have the 06 Spy Solgers and the 06 VonZipper Bushwicks and I have to say they are all good only got to use them 2 times each because I lost my Aframes but WOW I would rec those to all foooooo shooooooo

[t.hitch]

i had some scotts that were made like 7 years ago and they fogged up super easaly, and a lot

[Shaun]

ya sounds like scott sucks LOL

[t.hitch]

yeah at least thier old stuff does

[ivegotnoclue]

I think the worst goggles ever are Bugz they are so ugly and limit your perefrial so much.

[moclovman]

Not Anon, thats for sure.

I HEART ANON!!

[roxyhxc]

hmm i never really have had bad goggles

[iris7413]

uvex i have a pair of iris and love them

[shred much?]

I HEART ANON!!

I MY ANON'S TO DEATH

[irockatlife]

um yeah i used a peanut butter jar with rubber bands one time that was cool..

[BangClangSTEEZ]

I think the worst goggles ever are Bugz they are so ugly and limit your perefrial so much.

god bugz have gotta be the dumbest thing to ever be released...they should all be burned. "hey i know!" says the corporate millionare,
"lets make some coooool goggles called bugz, and sell them to teenagers, they'll think its so cool...bugz and all!"....morons

[zblowfish]

Smith sucks, same with Scott goggles. Just terrible IMO

[forumrider9753]

I HEART ANON!!

another fellow anon lover :) sweet

[phillyboy]

i agree on the Uvex! i had a pair w/ clear lenses that i found somewhere, and only used them for night riding...anywho...they sucked! ithink i wore them twice, and they've been sitting in the trunk of my car for like three years!
i bought a pair of cheap uvex's when i left my dragons at home and i like them. i really only use them for nightriding but i don't have a problem with them. there was my old dragons that cracked after like 5 times out.

[mr.steez]

my grandmother found out i snowboard so gave me her 19 century smith goggles from her skiing days..lmao

thanks nanny

[NEFFsteeze]

i heard grenade goggles are ****. The lenses scratch real easily and stuff like that.


yeah they scratch so easy my fridn has a pair on there is like no padding what so ever.

But the nicest pair(sarcasm) ive seen is a pair of 10 doller smiths's with no lens and tape around the head for a strap. Yeah my home mountain is pretty ghetto. Not gangsta ghetto like poor ghetto.

[Adam goes bang]

Smith sucks, same with Scott goggles. Just terrible IMO He is right, i had a pair of Scott goggles one small beef and i mean a really small one the lens' were trashed. And I also hada pair of smith ones, they scratch pretty easily too. i personally love my Spy goggles.

[theinfamouszman]

Worst are oakley E frame and O frame.... they always fog up

But the best.... BY FAR... are the OAKLEY A-FRAMES BABY (in pink iridium)

[forumrider9753]

really????

[thedude]

my grandmother found out i snowboard so gave me her 19 century smith goggles from her skiing days..lmao

thanks nanny
dude, pimp. i'de hang those form the rearview mirror of my car with pride

[theinfamouszman]

i think so, the venting system really helps keep the lenses from fogging... i sweat like a stuck pig so any extra help makes a difference.

The pink iridium lens works great during the day or at night, high contrast. But i mean, you can order different lenses, its all replaceable.

[forumrider9753]

There's only one solution, buy some Anon Figments.

[byeway]

those briko ones ****ing suck. they are terrible, itchy and uncomfortable. i LOVED anon dude, so comfortable and no fogging up AT ALL, it was sweet.

[forumrider9753]

Yeah, they're amazing, best ever!

[SNOWBOARDING_IS_AWESOME]

i like the black iridium. they dont help much for dark days tho.
but the worst are anything that you buy for $15 at a resort when your in a jam and dont have any. for example, carrera.

[forumrider9753]

yeah those suck.

[BobbyDigital]

i heard grenade goggles are ****. The lenses scratch real easily and stuff like that.


dude, dont talk ish if youve never tried them. lesson #1. I rocked grenade goggles all season and I love them. yes my lenses are ****ed up but whos isnt. keeping the lense of your goggles nice is a hard thing to do. or at least for me. I have oakleys and they are scracthed to **** and I even kept them in the bag all the time. besides the point. grenade goggles are light, the perefrial is huge, and they are pretty steezy.

[ryanxone]

hehehhe ive always been down with Anon. yep im a true anon fan
just picked up the Anon Theorems.. i must say there pretty sick
..freakin forums wont let me post pics so if u want PM for pics
pretty sick

[ryanxone]

by the way that was my REAL 1st post in this forum
wsup everyone

[Proximate Platypus]

whattup Ryan! ^_^
Worst goggles for me would be the $20 Gordinis... actually, I've only ever had one other pair. But the gordinis broke while night riding, and one of the mountain staff helpfully taped them back together with duct tape... it was ghetto fabulous.
Oh, and they were ugly anyhow, so maybe it was for the best.

[trkpl]

during the day i wear wisdoms with blue lenses but when it get a little dark i switch my lenses to the high intensity yellow and those are the s**t it can be dark and as long as you have alittle bit of light you can still see everything, the best part of it is it can be 8 pm and when you have these on it looks like the sun is still out.

[Jackson76]

I've had to buy cheap pairs a few times, when I forgot mine, and every time, they've sucked. I've bought the cheap Smiths, Scotts, and even a pair of anon's and they all fogged up really bad. I was suprised at how much I hated the Anon's, because I've always heard good things about them. I usually wear my pair of Quicksilvers, and I love them, never fog up, they had a gold reflective lens, so they are pretty much good for any time of day, except for that period when it starts to get dark, before the lights are on.

[theinfamouszman]

You gotta be kidding me are ANON's really THAT good? what makes them so good?

[Shaun]

I had a pair of Anons last season they were OK I gave them to my brother and he likes them I am a SPY and VonZipper man

[snowboardnguy90]

all of my goggles are good, hahaha!

[forumrider9753]

I've had spy, electric, smith and oakleys, but Anons are way better. They are uberly comfy, never fog and have sick steeze.

[SNOWBOARDING_IS_AWESOME]

i found a pair of anons last year while riding the lift. i spotted them in some trees and rushed down there to get them.
they were a nice pair of goggles so i sold them on ebay

[forumrider9753]

tahats pretty sick......hoe much $ if i may ask?

[SnoRide159]

yeah i would have to say any goggles less than $40 or $50 suck. they are just not made that well....i can tell you what goggles rock though, the anon majestics and oakley a-frames, the anons are actually the best goggles i've ever had they never fog up and plus they are hot pink leather which makes it even better.

[crzy4sno13]

i have a pair of oakley e frames they fog up soo much but i really want ANON figments or the ANON Realms

[elmoiscool45]

You gotta be kidding me are ANON's really THAT good? what makes them so good?

For one they have a good design. 2 they dont easily fog up unless you are weird. 3 they arent as expensive as oakley A's. and 4 they have cheap replaceable lenses. $20. whereas oakley lenses are like$70 or $80. thats what makes them so good.

[snowboardnguy90]

I've had spy, electric, smith and oakleys, but Anons are way better. They are uberly comfy, never fog and have sick steeze.

yea i have white anons and black smiths. the anons are better with fogging but i think the smiths fit better.

[forumrider9753]

I like the fit of the Anons better personally, i have figments, idk how the other models fit?

[snowboardnguy90]

my face is just a different shape than most people's (b/c i'm asian).

the smiths compliment my slightly smaller nose better.

[nikatsu]

I'll probably get trashed for this but...

My Anon (Majestic, girly line) are the WORST. They let too much air pass through and I couldn't ride at all without my eyes becoming so watered that I had to constantly stop; it was a nightmare. They fit and felt awesomely though.

The A-Frames I have had much better (as in, not over-kill) ventilation. My only complaints is that they're not girl-specific (big on face relative to the Anon), the lenses aren't all that easy to swap (especially on the slopes), and on certain days they would constantly fog up.

I'm definately checking out different vendors for this season!

[kelly]

maybe it's a trade off between having more ventilation and your eyes watering, and less ventilation so they fog up some? I used to have smiths with vents that opened and closed, which was kind of nice.

[ivegotnoclue]

god bugz have gotta be the dumbest thing to ever be released...they should all be burned. "hey i know!" says the corporate millionare,
"lets make some coooool goggles called bugz, and sell them to teenagers, they'll think its so cool...bugz and all!"....morons
Totally Agreed

All i can say is that the Anon Figments are what rock my world :) I've never used the women's Majestic googles becuase i am a guy, so idk about those. But all and all, Anon is the best, at least i think.

[ScottKelly911]

~Scott aka Mouse

[kreator]

the spy tundra i think it is are pretty nice
just i have have them leave bruses under my eyes from hitting the back of my head i dono they are wierd though

[skillet]

I bought a pair of 06 anon figments and they look bad ass and they fit bad ass...........but they have these triangular breather deals in the lenz and it makes your eyes water if you have any speed at all.... i stuck a peice of gum in the biggest hole and it did the job and it still doesn't fogg up

[prodigypark51]

i say cheap oakleys i had a pair and they scratched and fogged real easy i could barely see out of them even when they werent blowin snow...and of course crap like uvex scott and anything else that you can buy for under $20 bucks...go with anon or spy.

[goodwood]

the worste I have owned...Anon...my eyes sat so damn low in them, it was weird I had like 3" of lense on my forehead!

Worst I have seen, prob just Uvex, or Scott's.

[thedude]

don't use this one

hahaha, i;m so doing that thsi season

[CharlesBarkley17]

Scott's suckkkkk I had to get a pair cause I forgot my goggles when i went to alaska and had to buy a pair of cheapos cause i was low on cash and they fogged up within the day and i have an old pair which was scratched as hell after the littlest of things to happen to them...

[QRYS]

it was really windy one day at whindom and my friend payed 30 for a pair of crappy single lense goggles, they sucked, no venting either, i was like you shoulda waited and got a decent pair of double lense bolle like i had for the same price, wuda dumb ass, he couldn't see all day

[clowe_snowy]

Ive only had 2 pairs of goggles. My first pair were a cheap pair that cost me £12 and I thought theyd be rubbish but werent too bad. Kept steaming up a bit thou :( But now Ive got sum Oakley Wisdom goggles and they're immense!!!

[crhsnow56]

did u guys forget about gordini!!! the are sooo sick (not) they look gay and you cant even see out of them. but they are only ten bucks at gijoes. p.s. to all you fighting over iridium fire or gold owns all.

[get me out of GA]

did u guys forget about gordini!!! the are sooo sick (not) they look gay and you cant even see out of them. but they are only ten bucks at gijoes. p.s. to all you fighting over iridium fire or gold owns all.

Yeah I didnt have any at the time so I stle a pair of thos from the resort gift shop. They sucked, but it was my last resort.

[Eddy]

Smith PMT Airflow are horrible due to the whatever airflow thing its like wind goes right into your eyes through the little holes above the lens.. MAD gaaaay.. i got em for like 40 bucks a my local ski barn.. so i guess you get what your pay for..

[DC-RiDa-4-LiFe77]

scott. hate um

[sboarder41182]

I had a pair of old low end scotts and they were blue with yellow lenses and one time i fell and the lenses just broke in half..lame... now i ride dragon dxs they are awesome

[TSD4life]

elctrics eg1 are the best and i dont know about anyone else but anything with super flashy frames and such is pretty gay (i guess electric does most of that **** but thats why i have plane gloss black)

[Marlaina]

i wouldn't say that they are the worst goggle ever but the grenade ones are super uncomfortable they sit hella weird on your face. i think my favorites are either von zips, anons, or electrics.

[jib ninja mick]

All i can say is that the Anon Figments are what rock my world :) I've never used the women's Majestic googles becuase i am a guy, so idk about those. But all and all, Anon is the best, at least i think.

ya i got the Anon Realms and i absolutely love them.. but i have one problem.. i dont know how to change out the lenses :$

[RideLsDh]

Well of the 2 goggles I've tried (Spy Targa II and Electric EG1), The electrics kill it.

They're super comfy and have great perif. Both were fine though, no issues.

[Leo B. Jibbins]

dude ski stop goggles are the ****, only because there made for ski stop, and its absolutely horrendus...but i do miss seeing those letters on the gapers heads, no one has them in cali

[Chello0o]

low end scotts are pretty horrendous. and those ones that say SKI STOP on the strap those suck too.


scott...the ones you buy a dicks sporting goods

[Jart]

I own a Scott. I bought them last season and didn't use them that much. I pulled them out when this season started and the orange tint it came with was real faded... looked pinkish.

[ForumYoungblood23]

Not Anon, thats for sure.

word.
i have anon goggles.
i love em

[ride3902]

the wort 1's ever are scotts low end stuff, but ive had dragon dx's theyre comfotable and dont fog but the lenses are narrow, ive switched to oakley a frames and theyre amazing with the spherical lenses with the black iridium

[ForumYoungblood23]

http://ser8.imgdump.net/images/01042007/s8_f37b02746470294.bmp (http://www.imgdump.net/)

those are mine. except instead of a white strap mine is black, with anon written in white and the logo white

[Dreww]

Electric Eg1's til I die....have 2 brand new pairs and love them.

F*ck Scott and Smith.

The Figments are pretty good, I own the black frame/orange lens ones. I want to eventually buy a mirrored lens for it...

[heel_touge]

i had some smiths that blew.
then my original spy scoops when they first came out. i used FOREVER. i was pretty happy. comfy, fit my face, little fogging.
this year im tryin the A frames and love them . FIRE lense for day and H.I. yellow for night. unfortunately the HI yellow is messin with my depth perception at night (the combination of clare from my hard contacts and the color is just not workin) so if anyone is interested in the lense im willing to get rid of it in place of a clear.

my roommate got some nice anons for xmas. he used them ONCE! and the steezy garbage is already coming off the strap. junk.

[mtbachelor]

I told my parents I needed new goggles last year, they went out and spent 20 bucks on a pair of ****ty smitsh from GI Joes haha, But to be nice (and because I did need them) I wore them the rest of the year. But they sucked big time, they fogged up without doing anything, the lenses popped out all of the time, but now I've got the green airblaster goggles and I love em.

[oconnorkj]

i use anon and they are really good but sometimes they fog up to much when that happens i just put new lenses in

[nthach]

Oh, and they were ugly anyhow, so maybe it was for the best.

Those orange Gordini's are pretty popular at the local vancouver mountains too.

[tehsam]

i bought a pair of scotts for 8 bucks because i forgot my spy orbits and they were makin snow so i needed somethin. they ended up making it worse for me cuz they were foggin up and **** so i got real pissed and threw them off the lift

[Devg76]

I hate Scotts. Sadly though My eye blew up at Stratton. So after going to the eye doc today I cant wear my contacts for a week.

That means this weekend I have to wear my old Scott Over the Glasses goggles.

I just want to curl up and die :(

[toeknee]

then dont wear your scotts. go buy a better pair.

[Devg76]

No point in me buying another pair (it needs to fit over eyeglasses) for just ONE weekend because my eye is infected (so no contacts for a week).

I just have to be reminded about how much my old Scotts suck for a weekend ;)

[ADRsk8boarder]

electric and gordini or some ****ty big 5 brand

[RideLsDh]

Electric was the worst goggles you rode?!?

I love my EG1's.

[crhsnow56]

electric are one of the best

[Pce_Lve_Vlcm]

yea electrics are awesome...

im gonna get flamed but i dont liek oakley at all...
1. they dont fit right
2. there ugly
3. over price.

my anon figments also just started misting and fogging when i get hot,....

i love my figments tho. just gotta new a new lense with that stuff in the iner lense..

[ADRsk8boarder]

go with dragons. i hate oakleys to pce

[msimms]

Dude. you have money now, you can at least afford a pair of nice orange Gordini's. =)
