Currently running air brakes and my only complaint is that the lens is so expensive... especially the prizm lens.
In the market to try something new. Any recommendations?
Thanks!-

The design features, the lense clarity, field of view, and lense strength are obvious. But what got me is I can ride all day with the Oakleys where as I sweat through 100% in 1-2 rides and have to alternate.
Would like to try the armega
Made in the USA!

Value for money, I think Scott takes it. You can get Scott Prospects for $60-80 street price and they are solid. You don't get the same level of lens that you find on the Airbrake or Armega, but they seem just fine. Scott also has the best roll off system in the biz. I still keep a set of Scott roll offs in my bag, just for mud races. I've used Airbrake and Frontline roll off setups before and don't like then nearly as much as the roll off systems found of Scotts (or 100% for that matter).
I want to like 100%, but they just don't fit my face well. I have tried them all, and the Armega is an improvement for me, but still puts a lot of pressure on my beak of a schnoz. They do seem to fog easier than some others, in my experience. That was actually a big part of why I went away from them.
Surprisingly enough, I've really been liking the Leatt Googles as well. They are on par with the Armega and Airbrake in my opinion, and happen to fit my face well. They also did a great job with the anti-fog feature on the lens. I live in Florida and the humidity can cause horrible fog, especially when riding tighter tracks or XC stuff. If that's an issue for you they're worth a look. The only issue I have with Leatt is the foam started coming unglued on one pair, but they replaced them, no question. I've had quality control and durability issues with some of their other products in the past, so my faith is their longterm wear is low. Sorry, but it's the truth.
Idk what kind of dealerships you have around, but the CycleGear by my house has pretty much every model of goggle by Scott, 100%, and Oakley. Maybe find one near you and try some on with a helmet?
We were discussing this recently, I still use an oakley o frame which was given to me for being an usher at a friend's wedding 14 years ago. Still running the original lens too. I could never pay nearly £200 for goggles.
In addition to the moto goggles, I wore the Leatt SNX snow googles snowmobiling last winter. Really impressed with the performance in some extreme winter conditions!
Sorry Oakley, still wear your sunglasses but I;m not spending $200 on goggles!
Fuck Luxottica.
Wish they still made the Hustle instead of replacing it with the cheaper Hustle X.

Have Scott Hustle today. No Good at all.
100% with bubble lens ?
CHEAP, fits great, replacements are cheap too.
I have a lot of goggles , both high and low end, but Dragon works all around best for me.
So, I moved on to Oakley's durning ML512s 250 Shootoout: Same level of protection & a bit better lense selction (Airbrake).
And, yes, they certainly cost more.
