| Review Detail |
At £35 these are excellent goggles. I tried a number of different makes on with my Red Synth helmet to see which fitted best and these did, so ordered from BT when I saw the offer. Unfortunately the first pair had 2 scratches on the outer lense which makes me query the promise of them being 'highly scratch resistant'. Second pair were scratch free though.
They gave me excellent vision and the gold lense that came with them did a sterling job on my first day in Chamonix when the weather was overcast and occasionally snowing. On the second day in a heavy snow shower I found my vision not to be as clear as maybe offered by Rose lenses. They seem very sturdy and can withstand impacts as was proven when I took a big fall headfirst on an icepack (unfortunately my collar bone proved less resistant to impacts of that nature). The major fault I found with them was they fogged easily when I wore my neck warmer up around my mouth, thus directing my breath towards the goggles, but they did clear equally as fast.
For the price and because they fitted my helmet better than any others I tried (Oakleys, Adidas, Smiths and other Anon), I would say they are a very good pair of goggles. |

| Strengths |
Fit Red Synth helmets very well.
Good field of vision.
Sturdy design.
Good quality lenses. |
|
| Weaknesses |
Fog too easily when wearing neck warmer.
Motocross design may not be to everyone's appeal.
First pair queries claims of lense being 'highly scratch resistant'. |

| at this price they were amazing, good all round veiw,comfortable and they also looked good.I took a few tumbles and they did not break, good all round performance in these departments.They did fog a number of times.after afew face plants into snow and also hiking in powder the top part of the lense foged up and took a while to clear.I also found if they got wet they would fog in between the inner and outer lense.they did fairly well cause I am a bit of a sweaty bugger |

Superb goggles, especially at the price I paid. They fit extremely comfortably on their own and with my RED Synth lid.
I got the navy frames with Gold lenses which look sweet. I wore the lense in whiteout, cloudy and sunny and they were fine in all conditions. They're more suited to less bright conditions but were still good in the sun.
They took a side on hit on the ice with no bother and lenses seem pretty robust.
They have a pretty wide field of vision compared to my Version Vents and I actually forgot I had them on after 2 minutes and wore them all day.
Fogged slightly twice when I was wearing a face mask because of the warm air but it soon cleared once the cold air started circulating through the vents. |

| These goggles don't affect your view in any way that I could tell, apart from restricting your field of view slightly but any pair of goggles with do that. The strap is easy to adjust and the lens pops out easily if you need to change it. After several face plants and getting them wet, I'm yet to experience any fogging, which for me is a very important feature to look for. Add to this the fact that they fit like a glove with my helmet, and they're a top notch pair. |
