The Fishbowl are by far the biggest FOV/peripheral vision of all those listed. Actually I think they were the largest FOV/peripheral goggle for 2011/12.
My son and I tried the vz fishbowls today. I have owned eg2s for 2 years, my son and wife both wear eg2.5. I think I can make a valid assessment of them. Buy eg2 if you want peripheral. Buy fishbowls if you want vz....
I rock the eg2 and even the VZ don't offer the peripheral that mine do. But the difference is insignificant, of any goggles listed above, you'll be happy with the view they allow.
Im trying to decide between the EG2 and the Smith I/O. I like the EG goggles better however I really like the fact that the I/O's come with 2 lenses. Tough decision.
Just ordered some EG2's and was wondering if anyone had a preference/recommendation on a low light lens?
I always carry 2 as my depth perception takes a huge hit when the light changes. Almost wiped out at 45 MPH last weekend when cloud cover set out before I could switch out my EG1's.
What color is best for flat light/when the sun is behind the mountain? I had to take my googles off I couldn't see. I think mine were red or smoke (gotta go home and check)
Ive got a pair of 2.5's. Love the peripheral vision. I had to buy them after a bad experience with my anons on a super foggy, dark day. Freaked me out.
Would you all choose the EG2 over the Dragon APX? I want plenty of peripheral this year because there were far too many times I nearly swiped into a nearby skiier.
why not just try both on and see which has a better field of vision/what fits better.
I love my Eg2 goggles. I've had em for ~3 seasons now and i wouldn't swap em out for any other. Probably going to get another pair with a bright lens for the upcoming season.
Keep an eye out on Whiskey Militia. I've gotten my past two pairs of EG2s for about $65. Only have the orange/chrome lenses. Works well for me in any light except a HEAVY snowing day. I'm not sure any lens would have changed that. All of the goggles listed are great. I'd just look for a deal unless you're hell-bent on a certain one.
Thanks, I've been watching Whiskey. I actually just purchased a new jacket and pants on their special today. $60-70 is hard to beat for a 10k jacket/pants.
I'll keep my eyes peeled and I'll try the goggles on at my local shop.
Has VonZipper had good reviews? They seem like a new company to me, I've never purchased anything VZ.
I'm looking for a new pair of goggles I had the I/O for a season they were alright they fit great but the peripheral vision I felt was restricted especially when trying to look down to spot landing and what not, so I picked up a pair of I/Ox they were BIG but with my Giro helmet it was a no go they pinched the hell out of my nose even with the adjustment on the helmet, I sent them right back. The EG2 or EG2.5 look good I'm just wondering which goggles would offer the best peripheral vision, I really want interchangeable but if I can maximize peripheral vision and not be interchangeable I don't mind that's way on throw the Giro Onset at the bottom of the list.
