They're not Oakleys, EG2s, or I/Os. Therefore, no matter how cool they are, NS will not like them.

They don't have any models that super good looking in my opinion, but holy shit they fit so nicely and have such a nice field of vision in most models. I like them better than Oakley.

I may be wrong, but from what I have noticed, they don't market towards the skiing community and don't have many skiers on their team. They are a much more snowboard-oriented brand, therefore I have no reason to support them. Just my thoughts.

This is true, but those goggles are also popular across the whole snowsport community, outside of the NS community so maybe people just like really good goggles from good companies hence their popularity. Personally VZ just doesn't market heavily in this demographic and therefore why drop money on something that might possibly be a let down when you know you cant get something that is known to be legitimate and a quality product.

They're the same with Sessions (I think there is a partner/ownership too in there). They have skiers, but mostly are promoting the snowboarders.
I have VZ sunglasses, and I love them, perfect fit.
I'm also looking in to getting my hands on a pair of Skylabs. Amazing fit, amazing range of vision, and sick designs.
Their Feenom is nice, love its fit and vision too, maybe it's just the frame design, something about that frame I'm not a fan of. Probably those vent things.
