Looking for some goggles for the coming season and just wanted to see what you guys have/recommend. Mainly going for a reflective spherical lens with a VLT of around 15-25% (I'll be doing a fair amount of both day and night skiing) and a large frame. My main candidate atm is the Electric EG3 w/the brose lens and I'd prefer for it to be under $150, but I'm open for slightly more expensive ones. Lens tint/color doesn't matter to me as long as it fits in my VLT range. Any suggestions, comments, etc. welcome. Thanks!

You can get some pretty cheap Dragon Alliance goggles on Evo. I don't know if they will have the right VLT range though. The X1 and X2 are pretty big and have the spherical lens you want.

Be sure to get a dual pane lens aka two lenses separated by a little foam and make sure it has adequate ventilation. This prevents fog buildup. Fog sucks big balls, especially when it freezes. Most mid to higher end lenses are like this regardless.

Check out skis.com too. I got my Oakleys on there for $60 or $70. They usually have some good deals on goggles. Or check ebay. You could also get multiple lenses (light and dark) as many goggle brands allow you to pop them out and replace.

I'm a big fan of the smith phenom. Havent had them off up. And apparently they have a lifetime warranty. Havent had any issues in the last 4 years.
