New Goggles? - Snowmobile World : Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

permafrost · 02-15-2005, 09:42 AM

I was in need of some new goggles as my Scott turbo flows have seen better days. I miss the tint shield on the modular and am wanting that feature built in to my next set without the hassle of flipping a button. The Pro grip goggles from royal distrib look like they will suit my needs. Does anyone have any feedback on them?

Thanxs Permafrost

ive heard good things about them but havent tried them myself. i have a set of spy and scott goggles and think the scott goggles are a better bang for the buck. i didnt pay for the spy's but if i had to i wouldnt do it again.

spy goggles are extremely good but very expensive. i found that the lenses scratch very easily which in turn makes it very hard to see. i also thought that the vision through them isnt as wide as my scott's. spy's retail for like $150 or something?? i paid nothing for mine but for anyone else they're a bit to put down for a pair when my scott goggles cost me $60 and do the job just as good. they dont look as cool as the spy's tho.

love my spy sunglasses, never had a better pair.

Drift Jockey, do your glasses fog up at all? What type of helmet do you wear?

I have an enclosed HJC, with it the glasses fog up as soon as I put them on. Breathe to dang heavy, excited about getting to ride I guess.

I have a coldwave SX (snocross helmet) and yes they do fit over my glasses but its tight and they do fog if you dont stay moving (glasses do) so i useualy dont wear them.....what color did u get

DJ , being the cheapo that I am, I went with the original carbon fibre look ones and not the coloured ones. They were 5 bucks cheaper and will look better with my helmet IMO. I also ordered one of those three layer windproof Balaclavas. Spoiling myself for the upcoming SW annual ride in Cochrane.

Well after testing the googles out on two rides and wearing them for over a half hour in the house i have yet to make them fog at all. The light sensitive feature is a god send, for the life of me I can't figure out why this feature has not been incorprated into helmet visors. I also purchsed a Unwind balaclava which is three layers with built in repirator. It makes my other ones nothing but rags.
