Ive never got on with oakley found they always pinched my nose and fogged really easily . I run adidas id2 goggles for dh mountain biking they would be no good for moto as no tear off posts but they also make the pinner goggles which do. Ive now worn oakley(crowbars & mayhems) , electric , scott , and a mates 100% and adidas have been the best hands down .

X Brand. Great product and price IMHO

I've been wearing Smith for as long as I can remember because I like their roll off system, however Im not keen on the new styling so thinking of trying 100%, X Brand of EKS next. 100% googles look great but they almost seem too light and a bit flimsy…?

I dropped the bike off to get the top and bottom raping. They have some 100% goggles there and they look sweet. I'll be picking up a pair when I pick up the bike.

I've been running the crowbars. They are by far the most comfortable goggles I can currently buy. I used to wear Utopia and I'd still prefer them over anything else if I could find more of them. The lenses were so big on them I could barely tell I was wearing goggles.

I've tried a pair of scott goggles and they seemed to pinch the bridge of my nose.

I wear these because they keep the dust and dirt out, plus they are crazy tinted and I can see when I'm way in the air next to the sun!!

.

I also like to put my used spark plugs on my shoulder pads. Why waste them? They are cooler than Monster stickers and add so much horsepower to my arms its not even funny! Seriously, you should try it to reduce arm pump!

I have a few spy, and a few Utopia, there are some scotts in the bag and I perfer the Utopia over the spy by far, they fit my face way better. Tried my daughters 100% at a BMX race this fall and now will be buying them for myself.

I own about 6 different brands of goggles and to tell you the truth, if I were blindfolded and you stuck a pair on my head I couldn't tell a bit of difference between any of them. As long as the lens is clean I could care less.

Got some sweet 1998 Spy'sCool Other than those I run Scott or Oakley. Scott IMO are the best, mainly because of the field of vision.

I have several sets of nice Oakleys, and No Sweat Scotts, but can't wear them. They pinch my nose. I've got 2 pair of Smith's cheaper model and they fit great without any issues with pinching my nose. They only reason I even tried Smith's was I won a pair for free at a race. I didn't realize there was really a difference before I tried them.

Anyone else have this issue?

Dragon and Spy. I like the smaller framed Dragons the best so far, haven't tried 100% yet.

Have been a Scott guy for years...but recently bought a pair of 100% & I think they'll be my choice for a while. Fit/feel is better, at least for me.

Dragon NFX "Frameless" goggles. Excellent peripheral vision and the easiest lens changes I have ever done.

A little off topic but this guy races the local hare scramble series here in Texas. Every race he wears the open face helmet. Part of me thinks he's a badass and part of me thinks he'll regret his decision if he face plants in a tree or something. He is extremely fast for his age group. I think he's just one of the old school racer types. I want to say he's taken off the line with a cigarette in his mouth before.

So basically everyone in this thread has claimed that whatever goggles they use are the best. If they just recently switched to a new goggle, the new ones are better than what they had before. Information = useless.

Consider the source.

I can only tell you I don't like Crowbars because they don't fit my face and helmet very well. Otherwise, it's a toss-up between the Spy, EKS, O-Frame and Scotts I have. A clean lens and a couple of tearoffs is all it takes to move them to the top of the pile.

I dont mean to bad mouth what seems to be everyones favorite goggle on here but I got a set of EKS brand goggles when they first came out and they fogged instantly, like 3 laps in solid fog. went out cleaned them, dried all the foam, fogged instantly again. I was a huge fan of vonzippers, I ran the porkchop but noticed it was just too big and didnt get any airflow and caused my to sweat alot. I've moved onto SPYs and absolutely love them, my favorite google ever. They have about 100 different lens, all different mirrors and tints, you can get stick on extra sweat absorbers for those hot summer motos. SPY has my vote, cant wait to try the new OMEN frame too. Supposed to be sick.

I was a big fan of the Steel MX goggles. I got a deal through them in one of their early years of making goggles, and loved them. They weren't super flashy or anything, but they were comfortable, well made, and the company was really easy to work with.
