I read that as Google......That's not good!

 

I have a pair of 509 Sinister X5 mated to a 509 helmet. Great combo for me. I've used several different lenses, but like either the clear or the photochromatic clear to blue.

The only time I ever have fogging issues is when I'm digging myself out of a big stuck, and get all sweaty, and then put the goggles back on. Otherwise they are great right down to -20 degrees. I bought a full face helmet with heated shield last year. Wore it for one ride and then put it on the shelf. I'm an open face/goggle guy I guess.

Can't speak to other brands, but I really like the 509's.

 

I'll be the first to admit I have a bit of a goggle fetish, almost like a woman with shoes ???? but the new Scott Prospect snow goggles are no doubt my all-time favorite to date, huge f o v and excellent colors for flat light conditions not to mention a much wider face foam than other brands for an excellent seal against your face, zero fogging, excellent goggles!

 

What brand of helmet? There was a great article a few issues ago in Snowmobiler Mag.

I have a Fly helmet and use Triple 9's and Scott. Triple 9's seem to give me a better fit. Love their lenses

 

Oakley with prizm lenses or smith with chromapop lenses work best.

 

I think you’re going to see a handful of common brands/models pop up; but the reality is that unless your helmet, head, preferences etc are the same, you really need to experiment for yourself to find out what works best for you. For example- I’ve read comments on here saying how much people love the Scott goggles for the price, but they worked awful for me. Does it make them bad goggles? Absolutely not. I’ve found that 509 Sinister X5’s work really well overall for me, but others will say they absolutely suck. Same scenario there too. See what I mean? Best thing to do it a take the plunge and try some t figure out what works best for you, and understand that you might not hit the bulls eye with your first dart.

At half the price of the 'cool ones', and lenses are less the $20 a piece.

Best bet is to take your helmet to a dealer and try them with your helmet.

 

Abom's work pretty well...newer heated Abom's and aoakleys are hard to go away from once you try them

 

Oakleys get my vote, have a few pairs and love them, I would like to try the prism lenses though.

 

I run the 509s and spy's. The 509 fit my 509 helmet fantastically, and the lenses are super easy to change out, but honestly I feel like my spy's are a better built goggle. Don't fog as quick, stiffer frame, better lens case, harder to scratch, etc. I used to have Oakley for snowboarding, and would really like to try the prism lenses. Any way you go, just get something that fits your brain bucket well and has polarized lenses. That's a must for me now that I've had them.

hey b, what helmet are you using with the oakley goggles ? what model oakley are you using ? there are several prizm lenses, i wouldn't know where to start. i might get a couple for different conditions, but they are pricey. thanks

 

Another vote for the 509 X5 great goggle

I have a motorfist dominator (kali prana) helmet with Oakley Line Miner's. The fit is OK but not great. I will likely be going to an Airoh or Suomy this season.

I agree, fitment is everything with goggles and helmets. If it fits bad youll hate your life, and hate the goggles. Definetly go in and try on a few pairs with your facemask and helmet.

 

Forget Goggles get one of these! This was from the '70's, somehow it never caught on.

 

Dragon are the best bang for your buck

509 and klim quality has gone down the toilet over the past 5 years

For only $11.95 I'd buy one.

I agree with Trippy, the '509' thing was just at an expensive fad. I'll wear my $25.00 Scotts all day, with a ton of tinted options for $15.00 each.
