Goggles recommendation?

Rob · Joined: 18 Aug 2007 Posts: 2

I'm looking for a pair of googles and there are so many to choose from. Does
anyone have any recommendations or reviews of goggles? I'm looking for
something to use that is better than sunglasses. My wife and I do most of
our riding in the ocean. I'm looking for something in the "mid-range" of
pricing, not the high-end. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks!

I'm with Dan.
Scott goggles are great. And I think the MX goggles work better than the PWC
goggles. The hard foam seal on PWC goggles never seems to seal properly and
the hard material feels really abrasive on my face.
I personally do not like the Spex. Also avoid the close out stuff they
probably have on sale at many pwc stores. So much throwback stuff from the
early 90's plain doesnt work and would be plain humiliating to wear (unless you
are trying to pick up those chubby bleach blonde chicks who still tease their
hear and wear acid washed jeans with matching acid washed guess denim jackets
while driving white t-top cameros). The biggest disaster in PWC
fashionable-yet-functional eyewear was the floating Icicles as endorsed by Jeff
Kantz.

If you prefer the sunglasses stlye (though they are inappropriate for racing),
Tommy Bonacci's company Bomber Eyewear makes a really nice pair floating
sunglasses that is cost efficient and durable.

On the expensive side Rudy Project makes a pair with exchange able lenses. They
float and are very comfortable to wear all day long. They even have a loop that
goes around your neck in case they fly off...

I'd go with the Scott's too. They aren't expensive and they work better
than any of those cool-guy brands (oakley, spy, etc).
