I am having some trouble picking out new goggles. I really want a pair that has a big lens and good peripheral vision, I am leaning towards the Dragon APX but the EG2's look good too. Any advice on a large lens glasses?

it's really preference on looks really. The airbrakes change lenses the fastest, thats for sure

I tried the Airbrake on a couple days ago and its not that big. Haven't tried on the apx but eg2s are definitely bigger.

Yea I tried on the Airbrakes too but I agree they weren't that big. The APX claim they have the best vision but I notice more people swear by the EG2. Are there any other Big Lens goggles on the market?

I actually really love my APX's they have a fantastic peripheral vision but on the other hand I haven't tried the EG2's or the Airbrakes...

the airbrake is the best gogg out right now as far as features.  It has it all!  The I/o's are also great, by my beef with them is they only have 2 layer foam.  Oakley's 3 layer foam/fleece is super comfy, and holds up a bit better than smith's 2 layer

I got the APX this year and love the goggle so far!  I think you are going to get a great product no matter which one you choose.  APX are HUGE by the way!!!

All this stupid talk about how fast you can change a lens means nothing.  Its not like youre going to take multiple lens up on the slopes and change them out on the lift.  1 min 2 mins 5 mins who gives a shit!

of course more people swear by EG2 because the APX just came out.i personally dont think the airbrakes are very comforable, they fit like splice.
