Hey everybody,
I upgraded all my gear for this season but choosing goggles are getting more and more pain in the ass.I have some pretty decent uvex goggles for foggy days.Just looking for something that will do great on bluebird days.Options are:
Oakley Canopy(Fire Iridium) -100 Bucks
Oakley O2 XL(Black Iridium/Dark Grey-Fire Iridium(They are both included in one pair of these)) -70 Bucks
Dragon APX(Eclipse Lens) -90 Bucks
Electric EGB2(Bronze Silver/Chrome) -50 Bucks
I really want to try out some big ass/spherical goggles but I don't want to spend too much.I don't wear a helmet so helmet compability isn't an issue.I like Oakley as a brand personally but I'm not super brand concious.I want to get best bang for my buck.
Thanks,

Cannot go wrong with the EGB2s. They fit my face way better than any goggles I had previously, and the size of the lens makes up for the fact that it is cylindrical. I was also really satisfied with the quality of the lens as well. For 50 bucks, I would say go for it, assuming you have a similarly-shaped face as me.

Smith I/O, I/OX my two favorite goggles personally. Come with two lenses and are real easy to change on the fly. I/OX if you like a bigger goggle/ have a bigger face.

I have a relatively small face and have both IOX and EGB2...Get IOX if you can, such an amazing goggle! Fit doesn't matter with goggles..It is strapped onto your head and they won't fall off..

i love canopys best goggle i have ever worn but they do fit identical to the xl o2 so i would go with those being cheap unless you really want a spherical lens

I just got o2 XLs and theyve been solid for me through my first five days of the season. completely recommend them.
All times are Eastern (-4)
