This definately was not a fair contest! Steve Matthes was severely handicaped here. If you have ever tried to put somthing together that was poorly made in the first place, where things never lined up properly because of manufacturing floors, you will know what I mean. Scott and Oakley goggles are a quality brand. Eks brand or brand X or whatever they call them. What is that? Steve Matthes is an ex factory mechanic and is much better than that!

Knowing Matthes he would be Changing tires for Cheng Sheng or some other crappy brand. Eks brand or brand X? What is that shit anyway?

Honestly, I have 5 pairs of Eks brand and probably one of the best sets of goggles I've ever owned. They hold up great, the foam and face piece is top notch and never lets any sweat drip and they are light. Never had one issue with any of my sets and never paid over $40 for any of them.

If you don't know anything about them, why you bagging on them?

Couldn't have said it better myself. I have 6 or 7 pair and I love them. I get them cheap enough that I just bought so many to have different lenses in them all. They fit my face perfect and hold up just as good as any other goggle. My only complaint is the "mirror" lenses that comes with them will get scratched up relatively easy as it is with any lenses that style. Overall great company with a great product.

You might want to learn your moto history before talking crap on someone's product. Start with the name Rich Taylor.

Didn't Watson make a comment on the Pulp show once that Oakley manufactures Eks brand goggles as Steve was trying to shush him.

I had a pair of x brands. The frames are fine. The lens suck. They scratch easy and crack easy

They may scratch easily but they are laser proof!
