Newschoolers!!

I need urgent help.

Can anyone please tell me if these goggles are worth getting? My main concern is that the lense will blast off when I come down hard and I'll cop a face-full of the concoction of shit/mud/rocks we call Australian snow.

Also, what do you think will go best with my getup? (Saga anomie 3l Anomie blue jacket and black pants).

I can get them very soon and they're selling out insanely fast in the shop I would purchase them from.

Also, general thread about the product itself as the goggles are rad!

Cheers NS.

Also, apologising in advanced if I've posted something wrong, first thread.
 
I highly doubt that the lens will fall out if you take a big fall or get hit with some snow. Im not talking from experience but anon is a good company anyways and with that being said, theres a big doubt that would happen AND IF by any means it DOES happen, Im sure you could work something out with warranty if the lens breaks when falling out. I know most goggle companies wont honor a warranty if it would be rocks that break the lens as the goggles are "not suitable for projectiles like branches etc etc..."
 
I think he's worried because its a magnetically attached lens. Honestly, I think Anon would have tested the attachment thoroughly; and its surprising how much hold tiny rare earth magnets have if you've never played with some. And the black ones would look best with your kit there OP. good luck man, hope that helps!
 
The experts don't seem to think it's an issue at all.

"Lens Retention[/b]

Of course, the quickness and simplicity of the M1 / M2 Magna-Tech system wouldn’t amount to much if a lens was likely to fall out during a crash. That’s true, but I have found no reason to think that this is something to worry about. Unless you pry at a corner of the M2’s lens, it’s very difficult to dislodge the lens, even intentionally.

Each of the M2’s eight connection points (created by the eight magnets on the frame and eight on the lens) has a pull-force of 2.75 pounds. That means the total retention value between the M2’s lens and frame is 22 pounds. So unless you pull something in the neighborhood of 75 Gs, there’s no way the lens is going to work itself away from the frame.

Even if you were to experience a serious digger / face-plant on hard snow, I would honestly still be surprised if the M2’s lens came completely free from its frame, especially given the kind of precise prying technique it takes to remove the lens by hand. If it did, I don’t think the whereabouts of your lens would be the first of your worries.

In my mind, lens retention simply isn’t a point of concern with either the M2 or the M1."
