Review Detail
These come is all sorts of wicked colours...I got mine on GOLD with a gold sparkly strap.

They fit well under a helmet and provide unrivaled Vision both in laterally and in depth. The lenses are great and change very easily. I use gold more than anything!

Ventilation is sport on but I wear a helmet so that is normally enough to sort out any misting....never put a cold goggle on top of a hot head!!

Very strong durable frame, I have used mine for 2 full seasons. Best of all you can get them for £80 in the UK...... Don't buy a set of goggles until you have tries these.

My first pair of goggles and I thought they were simpy brilliant, they didn't steam up on me at all throughout the whole week I used them and I found the lenses were great for most conditions however at times of poor visibility they were not so good however I would definately recommend these goggles to anyone.
Strengths
Don't steam up.
Look good.
Weaknesses
My lenses not suitable for poor visibility.

Review Detail
Outstanding goggles, only steamed up a couple of times, only across the top too, this was mainly due to being hot after prolonged periods of skating, or trudging out of 2ft deep powder, the minute I got going it cleared, other than that they never steamed. They also fitted my Dainese Fun helmet superbly

As for the lenses I have the LST lenses in mine, they were brilliant, they didn't leave my face for the whole time, be it bright sunshine, or white out blizzard, I could still see more than enough, and in normal light I couldn't fault them, If I could give them 10/5 I would. I personally feel they're one of the best looking pair of goggles too.
Strengths
Great all round lenses, very comfortable, fit helmet perfectly, rarely steamed, look superb.
Weaknesses
None

Review Detail
I bought the Yodai's after getting fed up with crappy £30 goggles I'd used before, and despite some really bad weather in Laax this year, they performed very well.

They steamed up very slightly on occasions along the top of the lens, but only after a face plant and it was generally out of vision anyway, and probably caused by having the top vents jammed up against my R.E.D Skycap, which they fit nicely over.

The LST Trail mirror lens looks great but despite being sold (to me) as an all round lens, its useable but not ideal for low light and white-out conditions, great in sunshine though. After 4 days of boarding through the clouds from one marker post to the next I finally found a local shop that sold lenses and got myself an Orange Mirror lens (only £25!). However I didnt even get to try this lens as the next morning the sky cleared and I was back with the LST lens for the remainder of the holiday, sods law but I wasnt complaining!
Strengths
Look great, very comfortable, cheap replacement lenses, lid compatible, good misting resistance
Weaknesses
Nothing major. Possibly a 1 piece strap would be better, I'd prefer not having the 2 piece strap with clip that Im always worried could come unclipped on a lift, though a small strip of black tape ensures it wont come undone easily.
