Yo. I have never liked skiing with goggles cus all goggles I tried have limited my view too much. I have been browsing for some good goggles and electric eg2 seems to be almost perfect and I already found good sale for them too. I don't have the chance to try any goggles on so I just have to buy them at random. My face isn't large but not so small either. I have pretty big nose if that affects anything :D I would rather get eg2 since I just can't ski with small view. Is the difference between 2 and 2.5 big?
+ I will be using them with bell faction helmet :D

The difference is pretty big... The EG2 is one of my favourite goggles... But it isn't compatible with every helmet that's for sure. It fits well with a k2 rant and Giro Revolver from experience.

My friend has the 2.5 and it definitely does not offer the same amount of vision, but is a better fit for smaller faces.

EG2's are awesome, best field of vision out of any goggles i've ever used. I use them on my POC recepter and Smith holt and have never had a problem with them fitting with the helmet. But then again i always put the strap under the helmet so i can't imagine they would be problematic with any helmet wearing them like that. Can't go wrong with EG2's though, hate the EG 2.5's cause they're way too small

Thanks :D Already bought them so this gave me feel that I made good purchase :D I don't really mind if they don't look great with my helm as long as I can see well.
