Advice on Goggles

Hey Newschoolers, I am trying to get some new goggles for next season and have a couple in mind.

Electric EG2/EG2.5
Dragon APX
Oakley Canopy
Anon Insurgent
Anon Comrade
Poc Lobes (maybe)

I am honestly pretty stuck in between all of these but more leaning towards the Dragon APX. The biggest worry of mine is the pinch or pressure on my nose due to the goggles. I have an above average size nose but not big. Any advice?

Other than trying them on at a shop, I don't have much advice. People will tell you this and that, but everybody's face is different and it's important that you try goggles on before you buy them. Remember to try the goggles on with your hat and helmet if you wear one.

I picked up some eg 2.5's last season and they fit great. they are a little loose on my nose and I have an average nose. if you have a large head get the eg 2's.

What works best is to buy goggles from the same company of your helmet. For example. When I bought Smith Io's I had a poc helmet. I then got a smith holt so my goggles would fit better. I now have poc lobes because I like the fishbowl feel and I use my poc helmet because they fit better.

I ended up returning the Dragon APXs. I didn't like the fit of them with my helmet. I went back in and ended up getting the Oakley Canopy's. Thanks again for the advice about bringing my helmet in.
