My son and I run SPY (sponsored for racing) and the wife runs Scott. She will be switching next season when she starts racing.

I run the Scotts turboflow, I have the clear, blue, and amber lens for different light conditions. I also have them set up with the quick strap for easy exchange while out riding. I will never go back to the full face!!!!!!

DO you think goggles are better than a full face helmet? Do goggles fog up lots or not at all? I hate the full face helmet when you have glasses you have to take the glasses off to put the helmet on. But the only way to fix that is get contacts or a modular.

When I wore glasses(lasik surgery), I always fogged up with the full face helmets. I then purchased a open face and goggles and my troubles went away. I also wear the MX no fog with my open face. You can also get prescription goggles from Pro-vue(www.pro-vue.com).

just my .02

Scott also makes a deeper goggle specifically for use with glasses. Once you wear a snocross style helmet, you will never go back. My preference is the HJC CL-X4 Cell.

I prefer the FOX helmet. Just like the way it feels. I've heard alot of good things about the HJC.
