So I have a pair of oakley crowbars that are in pretty great condition, but I tried on the flight decks the other day and I can literally see just as well as I can without a pair of goggles, which is great. When I tried them on their was nothing blocking my peripheral vision which I really like, and I was thinking of getting a new pair of goggles preferably anything around 130 or less would be nice, but I want to try another goggle brand other than oakley. I was thinking maybe electric, giro, or spy but I'm not sure what goggle from one of those companies would offer optimal all around vision, just like the flight decks. Does anyone know a type of goggle other than oakley that offers vision like the flight decks and I'm looking for the specific goggle from a brand.

Have you considered Smith? I have the smith I/O and it has functioned great although it costs more than $130 . However the smith vice is within your price range and is very similar to the I/O. If it's anywhere near as good as the I/O it's definitely worth considering.

The i/o's I have I got for $100, you can find them cheap if you look hard online. They are great, never fog, and fit my face great. Depends on the size of your face like shin-bang said, try them on before you buy them.

I found this too, but have you tried the iox? I felt that they are the best ive found so far.
