Seem good quality so far, pink is cool, need more lens options available
Update: MAJOR STYLE POINTS. Everytime I wear these goggles I am drenched with compliments both on and off the slopes, the most complimentary of which came from the awesome ski gear staff in the city ski shop that I often go to, paragon sports. A good chunk of the staff all came over to compliment, ask about, and check out my goggles. They tested them, bending and twisting them around and they were impressed with the quality and make of them, particularly how strong the magnet is and how large and stylish and fully spherical the lense is. They showed me that they were comparable to the most expensive goggle they sell, something anon m2 and made me feel like I got such a great deal and made a great choice. As if thats not enough, people cant stop telling me how cool I look while im on the mountain. That I look so pro like I've been skiing for years :-) These goggles get so much love! I still dont know how well these perform in terms of fog and visibility because I barely wore them while on the slopes since the cloudy and still conditions didnt call for it, hope to really test these out in the Swiss alps and give a proper update, but boy are these worth every dollar in terms of style. Looking forward to being able to try more lenses. Please release the orange, gold, black, & silver lenses for individual purchase you guys! First time I will be skiing. Have a feeling ill love it, but I didnt want to spend so much on the big brand goggles without being sure I will be frequenting this sport and narrowing what further specs I will need, especially since there is so much ski gear to buy just to get started, all the expenses have added up in a big way, so im cutting back where I can, but still want something good. These feel like quality, comparable to the other big name branded ones I tried on at the ski shop, but at less than half the price. Fairly light weight and flexible. Got the pink on pink, and the orange lens with light green goggle. The orange lens wasnt as orange and interesting looking as it seemed it would be from the product shots, fell kind of flat into just a gold looking lens from outside. From inside its a fairly clear lens that should be good for lower light conditions. The pink color is my favorite and much nicer than I expected, the lens view from the inside is a semi-dark bluish-grey, should be great for sunnier conditions. Both come with a microfiber sleeve and an expandable case that is leathery on one side and fabric on the back that expands around the goggles when you put them in. Not a fully hardcase like I thought, but seems like enough to keep it well protected. Also nice that there's a little sleeve on the inside of the leathery part of the case that seems to be for a spare lens. These fit well with the helmet I ordered from this same brand - They seem to generally make great quality stuff, I look forward to trying more from them. Only thing is that with the strap at full extension, the goggles are still a bit tight on my face around the helmet. Wish it could loosen up just a bit more. Also I wish it was easier to mix and match the goggle and lens color. Originally I wanted the black frames with the pink lens (cause I thought the bright pink strap would be too much and I prefered to stay all black to match my gear) but I only had one option to get the pink lens which was with the pink goggle frame. Glad it worked out as the bright pink strap doesnt bother me as much, especially since the hood of my ski jacket covers it, but I am interested in purchasing some of the other lenses (like the gold, black, and grey), but aside from the black frames, most of the colorways of the lenses seem to be blocked off to specific frame colors, and im not buying whole goggles again just to get the lenses which defeats the purpose of having a frame with interchangable lenses. To truly take advantage of the replacable lens feature this brand should have all the goggles and lenses available independently. I hope they change it in the future so I could get more lenses. Otherwise my face feels fully protected and the frames are big and stylish and dont seem to fog up as I am breathing through my balaclava but can't truly tell about the fog/ventilation and glare until I get out of the concrete jungle and onto the white mountains. Will update this review once I test it out on the slopes.
