Hey gals ...
Was wondering if anyone has had any experience with i/o vs I/os goggles ..obviously the i/os are made for women and the I/o can be more unisex but if anyone has had and thoughts on buying one over another with a female face. I've tried on both and an leaning toward i/o but thought I'd leave this here before i spend and arm and a leg on these.
Only justifying this purchase because I got my hands on a new variance helmet for $40 (retail $180)

güîćčì thanks

I have the I/os and find them to be a little too small for my liking. i'd go with the I/o unless you have a really small face.

i have the ios from a few years back and i wear them all the time. i like the clip in the back, i find putting them a breeze. fits me well, but as for size reference i can't really say.

I love my new I/os. Lens is nice, clip is helpful unless you want to wear them under a helmet. I have a pretty small face and they work really well!

I wear I/OX's but I used to wear I/O's. Most premium goggles are going to be triple layer foamed to fit as wide a range of faces as possible. The only difference I've found between the I/o and the I/oX is that the I/OX has a larger field of view. Bigger Fov is better imho. They both fit about the same.

same exact goggles except ios is smaller than io so if you have a small face ios might be better, go to a ski shop and try on both :)
