I think they are a great idea and was thinking of grabbing some for next year.
The problem with my new oakleys was after a few face shots the front vents were blocked.
I don't think you would have the same problem.

I definitely get the same problem in pow! I like how they incorporated plastic vents on the dragons instead of the spongey material they use on oakleys. good stuff

epic POW in March....I can feel it (doin the snow dance)

If you are looking for 'wide view' goggles the best I've tried are the Oakley Wisdom (now discontinued)... and the Oakley Airbrake. Gary is right about the foam on the inside getting in the way. I tried on a bunch of frameless goggles this season and found the field of view to be pretty limited compared to the two I mentioned previously. I'm not sure that I tried on these Dragon ones but I remember trying on a few of their styles and wasn't impressed at all. The whole frameless thing seems pretty gimicky to me... especially if you wear a helmet.
I hear your concerns forsure. Maybe I'm just a sucker for their gimmicks! haha. In the end I just need to get my hands on a pair and try them on/take them up on the mtn
but for now I'm just gonna stick with my crowbars (which have been so so good to me) -
Can you just tell me why they are so amazing?
Not into cheesy promo vids. You tell me would be good!
I just think its a really smart and well thought out design. Get rid of the bulky frames, and increase the range of view! Also, just been reading reviews on them, and people seem to only say good things.
If there are any negatives please bring them up!

I was thinking of getting a pair myself, but the cheapest Ive seen them is around 20k which is just a bit on the pricey side for me. I was also looking at the smith i/o which are a bit cheaper, but not quite as nice, or the Electric EG2 which have a really wide view, but Im not sure of their compatability with my helmet.
Yea i hear ya on the price issue...but I found some on Ebay for a more "reasonable" price. Might just wait until Im back stateside to get a pair...probably next season. But man they look awesome! great concept too!
-
Does anyone have a pair of these?!?! If so HOW AMAZING are they! I really want a pair!!!

Hey akitapow, be sure to 'be positive' and post some photographs hey?
ON it! cheers!
-
OK son, thanks for the life lessons
BUT, REAL-est thing in my life right now, is I'm gettin off work at 12 and hittin' the slopes! WOOT! Keep up with the negative vibes on the forum and I'll hold it down on the slopes Later BRAHHHHHHHHseph
-
I'd say something more like "chill out brahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" no "mates" over here son, and YES, I LOVE THIS WORLD FULL of FALSENESS...its DOPE.
-
haha I just said you have all right too bro, just was pointing out the fact that you taking the time to post on it rather than ignore it just makes you look like a grumpy pants, thats all.
cheer up buddy! LIFE is GOOD!
-
Well I just think even posting that its "annoying" is kinda a buzzkill to someone who was lookin for support and DOES effect community vibe. You could have just ignored it right? and by all means YOU have ALL RIGHT to POST whatever you want/whenever, but you took the time to express your negative thoughts...just doesn't seem productive to me.
Anyway, this is going nowhere, so that's that

Hey I respect your opinion forsure, and I'm not tryin to get into it with you, I was just kinda put off cause your comment sounded pretty bitter, thats all. The thing I LOVE about snowjapan is the community vibe, Everyone (for the most part) is super supportive and helpful to their fellow members!
He's simply asking a favor, not TELLING you
and YES, I'm sure the others have parents too, but they weren't on snowjapan asking for a favor from the SJ community, so in keepin the community vibe strong, I'm happily hooking up Gareth, and HOPE others on here take the time to do so too! -
Sorry but I don't like being asked to 'like' something - honestly, I find it pretty annoying.
So I voted for the one I liked best.
OUCH man, it's called a FAVOR...
Help a friend in need!?!? Brotherman is just tryin to help out his son! -
Yo Gareth, you sound like a pretty RAD dad, and supporting your son like this is awesome! You got my vote homie.
-
Cheers bro, thanks for the heads up! Do you have to pay for parking over there? are there free parking options?
-

What do you guys think?!?! YES, it was a SIC run, but did he get the 100 score because of his name?
p.s. - I'm not one to rip on ppls style, but damn those pants were whack! hahahaha

I reckon we can make it to be about 15 before this gets tough
5. No 'core' scene. Even the park rats are polite, respectful and sweet.
