Smith Optics Intake. They have really good foam for sweaty faces and also have air ducts to help dry sweat.



They come with a set of roll offs as well so be sure to pick up an extra lens with the dots so the film doesn't stick...

I disagree. Zero problems and replacements are very reasonable. Sorry you had a bad experience.

I bought a pair of scott and for some reason, the nose piece seemed to pinch the bridge of my nose.

I've been riding on the same Oakley Crowbars for about 3 seasons. I've replaced a few lenses but they're readily available at local dealers and I haven't had too many problems with lenses. I usually change them just to get a different tint.

As you are trying on goggles make sure you buy a set that fit your face...VonZipper, as an example, has three different frame profiles/sizes. if you get a goggle that is too small the foam will not hold and channel the sweat as effectively.
Pick a goggle with a multi-density face foam...if you sweat a lot look for a pair that has the really dense foam right next to the frame with softer foam as the outer layers. Single density foam feels ok when you try them on but the foam becomes easily saturated which allows them to drip sweat relatively quickly.

If you are as picky as I am about goggles find a store that has several models in stock and try some different frame styles with your helmet on. If you order them on-line you have no way of knowing which brand fits your particular shape the best. At our house there are four of us that ride...between us there are 3 different brands of goggles because each of us needs a different fit.

I've pretty much always used Oakley or Fox glasses, i've got really light eyes and get headaches easily from any lens warp or noise... and from there have basically always had oakley goggles.

The crowbars were awesome, really good goggle and fit most helmets–Something that many people don't check! Now with the airbrakes out, they've become really cheap... Having said that the Airbrakes are great. The extra room is really nice.

I think the Dragons would be good for the same reason... And i've heard good things on X-Brand, particularly if you're a sweater!

I have a pair of spy omens and I like them a lot, they fit kinda like oakley crowbars, but recently I started wearing spy Klutch's and I love them. They fit well, their cheap and I've never had a problem with sweat, or dirt getting inside the goggles.

I use Spy Omens and really like them. Foam is good, comfortable, and no issues so far. Mine came with smoke and clear lenses. Good price on BTOsports too when I got them.

Using my shoei vfx-w and 6d 100% are real good fit for me, as are the scott tyrant. but i have 3 pair of airbrakes by oakley and imo are the best goggles out right now, and lense removal is super easy.

What Scott's did you try? Probably the Recoil which is based off the old Model 89 that has been around since the 70's or 80's.

The newer models, the Hustle and Tyrant, both have the adjustable nose fit feature. It is awesome. I don't know of any other goggles that allow you to custom fit the nose like this. It works great.

The Hustle and the Tyrant are basically the same with the Hustle being curved harder for skinnier faces and the Tyrant being flatter for wider faces.

I've used them with my Seven and Answer helmets and they work fine with those. I also have a pair of 100% goggles but I'm not sure which model. I didn't have the same sweat issue as you but I still prefer the Spy goggles. The foam is thick on the Spy goggles and they look really good, which is most important, jk.

X-Brand is awesome... dare I say "you won't win without them"? My son loves them, and I enjoy them as well. I think there is no better value out there, the gox w/terminator lens is a full high end great fitting goggle at 1/3 the price as other high line goggles. Rich and family are great people, they truly are knee deep in moto. I drive 800-1000 miles per week to take my son riding, I see them nearly every day that I'm out there, they clearly like to ride.
