So I'm in the market of purchasing goggles really soon, but I need to make the decision before sunday, so I can contact the shop. Anways these are some of the goggles I've been looking at.
Blur B1
Dragon MDX
Oakley MX O-Frame
Smith Sub Speed, Evo, Fuel, Fuel Eduro, Fuel LST, and the Warp
Spy Alloy MX,Targa MX
I've also have been looking at a new Scott's and Arnettes, but I'm not too sure on the prices of them. If anyone can give me some prices that'd be nice. I cannot spend over 70$CAD on goggles, and that has to be tax/shipping included.
I'm looking for something that fits my helmet well(medium Giro Mad Max 02/03, the red and black one.) Wont slide off on bumpy trail sections, wont fog up, and fits my face well.
All help is appreciated.

i'd have to say this order of choice:
1. smith fuel lst
2. dragon mdx
3. oakley MX o frame
I havnt tried any of the other goggles except the spy targa, which i just thought were an ok goggle. The smiths are truly exceptional and the dragons are a close second. the dragons may be better value for the money, but the smith costs a little more and is worth the benefits i think

Go get the cheapest. They will all fit in your helmet. One with replaceable lenses, and/or tear-offs is a nice thing to have.

Here's a novel idea, how bout getting the ones that fit the best and are most comfortable for you?
Thats the biggest thing I have found with goggles both biking and snowboarding, get what fits. Never mind the bling factor or how cool you look. Fit should always be #1.
That being said, I like my Oakley O frames, but I also like my Von Zippers.

Just go for the most bling factor, cuz goggles are all about looking baller, not pretecting your eyes.
While you are at the MX shop get a flat brim baller cap to top it off.
No but seriously my last pair of gogs were the low end Spy's and they are
awesome, good visibility, pretty fog resistant, really scratch
resistant lenses. good fit, look ballin':eek:

Yeah I'm on my second pair of Spy's. Nothing but good things to say about em, good selection of lens's available, can turn them into snow goggles with a lens change. I'd say the Spy Alloys or the Oakley Crowbars.

What happens if they're comfortable and cool looking?:agree:

Go to the store with your helmet and try some on. They must fit not only the helmet but your face. If they pinch your nose you will hate them not matter how cool they look. If they have large gaps between you face and the foam you might get dirt in your eyes. You also want ones where you can easily purchase replacement lenses.
