Depends on a couple factors:
-Your head shape
-Peripheral vision preferences
-Helmet/hat system
-Lens preferences
-Lens swapouts


Personally I've been a big fan of Smith. I have the IO and absolutely love them. I've also had good luck with Oakley and Dragon, but of the three definitely prefer the Smith pairs I've had.

Yea, pretty much preference, I've had smith, oakley, and anon.
Currently I have anon which I love the most out of all the other goggles I've had in the past.

Big fan of electric cause they fit my huge head. Check out dye as well. They are new but they know what they are doing.

For peripheral vision, I'm in love with my electric eg2's, especially coming off of my Dragon rogues, which got trashed in the rain. like the whole mirrored coating came off and i can't see very well out of them anymore.

Look out for "Google Outlet" AKA "SportCamZ".

A guy by the name of Dan who hangs around Gore Mountain and CO is starting a company and selling $90 goggles, similar in shape to a Smith I/O, which includes 4 lenses including one polarized and a carrying case.

Not trying to straight up advertise, but a killer deal.

I just bought my fourth pair of Oakleys, and I still have my previous 3 pairs (Oframes, 2 pairs of crowbars, and now Canopys) Oakley is by far my favorite goggle brand, I've had smith and dragon. Ever since I switched to Oakley, I never looked back.

Smith, Dragon, and Oakley are pretty much the top. I just got some Vonzippers that weren't too expensive compared to similar goggles from those brands and so far they've been sick.

I've had oakleys electrics and smiths. I just got a pair of I/os and they are truly amazing they are extremely light and super comfortable you can't go wrong with the I/os or if your head is a little bigger you can go for the I/OXs

I have smith I/O's and Electric EG2's and they are both great goggles. The EG2's are nice and big and the I/O's have easy to change lenses so I use those all the time for low light skiing.
