I am looking to get new goggles this season as my old marshalls got a crack in them when faceplanted on a water fall rail
I was looking at the Spy Ace, The Line miner or the NFX2
Any other suggestions would be appreciated

I bought a pair of spy Ace's last year off of Backcountry and I can't speak more highly about them. Came with an extra set of lenes. Super comfortable, they don't fog up all the time and the lens imterchanging system is super easy.

I/O mag or regular I/O? Regular I/Os could definitely be easier, its kind of a pain trying to lock the lens into the nose piece.

The regular I/O, I can change lenses on the chairlift in a matter of seconds, the nose piece doesn’t bother me personally. I haven’t tried the I/O mag yet.

Personally I am thinking about getting the Atomic Revent Q Stereos.

I've always had Oakley, Electric, Spy or Smith goggles but the owner of my local ski shop showed me these things and I geeked out. They have the easiest to change lenses I've ever seen. You literally click the buttons on each side and it pops right out. They also come with low light and bright light lenses.

Doesn't sound easier than the Anon Magna Tech, but they're also maybe cheaper.

They're way better quality than the Magna Techs in my opinion. I also played around with those right after I checked out the Atomics. One uses a magnet and the other you just push down on two buttons.

I have the Anon M2 and the Spy Ace, and as much as I love the Ace I think the M2 is superior. It's so easy to swap lenses and the overall quality seem better.
Now I actually didn't know the Atomic goggles but I googled them and they do look pretty fucking cool.

I just bought some Spy Aces myself. I just wanted the Level 1 collab lol. Plus the lenses are affordable. The M2s are really cool, don't get me wrong. I just preferred the quality and fit of the Atomics more. Even the packaging is incredible. The second lense even has its own hardshell case. I was skeptical when the shop owner told me to check them out but I was impressed. I'm considering buying a pair but I don't really need more goggles. Especially now that I got clear lenses for the Spy Aces and finished my visibility quiver.

Got some anon relapses. No fsmcy lense change stuff, but it has this cool magnetic facemasks thkng. It ccmes with a facemask with a lil metal in it that pairs with magnets in the goggles, so no more tucking it under and less fog

Giro Agent is the easiest hands down. Magnets hold the lens. Just pull off the lens and pop the new one on, takes about 0.2 seconds.
