I'm getting new goggles for this season and im struggling to decide between smith IO and salomon Xtends. for those of you that dont know what the extends look like see the link http://twotip.com/media/cache/salomon-xtend-polarized-goggles-blackpolarized-a709e1f58cbd1e060e4d6dd2a2dd718e.jpg (+K for embed)

Both the goggles will be in black by the way.

IO's, they're a lot better and the xtends are hugely overpriced for an average(imo) goggle

I got them off a mate who got them from a comp (i think) and since he's sponsored by smith he can't wear them so i got them cheap :) brand new with tags and all. so yeah pretty stoked on that.

the Xtends are an amazing goggle.  much more than your average goggle.  what saly does to the frame to make it fit better is quite innovative.  I often have a  hard time choosing between my Xtend and IO, however the IO has the interchangeable lenses, so i can only wear my Xtend on sunny days, the lens is screwed into the frame

Xtend's are interchangeable, just remove the pin from the top of the frame.
