I haven't skiied in over 10 years and got rid of all my gear, but it looks like this winter I'll have to opportunity to get out a couple times. I'm not trying to spend $100 on goggles I'll only use once or twice, has anyone tried the $25 ones on Amazon and are they really that bad if I'm only using them for a few hours?

They aren’t terrible but the ones I got were really bulky, I didn’t really like it. I’ve been using the a pair of smith project goggles and they’re way better than any of that stuff from amazon. Nothing impressive about them but they fit nice and were only like $35

Go onto eco.com and go to the goggle page, then him men’s, then filter by cheapest. Best way to find cheap googles that are legit.

Got my dad a pair of those crappy zionor goggles. They're decent. Didn't fog and fit good. Only issue is the lens is magnetic so when he ate shit, the lens popped off and snow got in everything. So whatever you do make sure the lens isn't magnetic

you can usually get away with getting a name brands lower end model for 30-60 dollars

EVO.com but yeah good call

and OP i'd either do that^ or go get a cheap pair from a name brand from a store, maybe even like a tj maxx or something. you can totally use lower end goggles if you don't ski much but i'd suggest getting a lower end model from a name brand, not random companies on amazon. some $30 Smiths are a much safer bet
