either gonna get one of these two, wondering how easily they fog up as the asburry ones have no vents. also i want it to be a little larger(spy zed is too small for my head) so if anyone knows how they fit and perform that would be great, also reccomend any other larger non-spherical goggles if you know any.

cheers
 
smith i/o, fits a smaller face like mine, don't pinch my nose like crowbars did, so light it doesn't feel like you are wearing them at all, better lens options in my opinion, easier interchangeability, better peripheral vision. Spendy, but you can get good deals on a pair in B/S/T or i've seen them at marshalls and tj-maxx for like $80. So worth every penny, comes with 2 lenses stock as well.
 
thanks for the info, but i wanted a larger fitting goggle with a non-sperical lens, but my sarcasm meter may be broken if that was a joke, i tried i/o's already and they look like total shit on me
 
I/Os are definitely sick but they are spherical

if you're looking for non-spherical there's also Scott Motive/Alias, Electric EG1, Shred Goggles, Smith Fuse, Oakley Ambush those are just off the top of my head
 
that's my bad on my part. i thought you said spherical, oh well it was fun writing that though... love my i/o's
 
why would you want non spherical? the lenses are worse for your eyes cuz they distort shit like none other
 
I've worn nothing but Airblaster goggles for the last 3 years. They've blown away any other goggle I've tried, including the oh-so-trendy Crowbars, EG2's, and Anons. I can honestly say that I have never once had a fogging problem with them. The first generation Airblasters also didn't have any venting on the lens, and again, never a fog problem. I haven't tried any Ashburys yet, but the designs are pretty similar.

Also, check out the new "Baker Lens" for Airblasters. Honestly, the best, most innovative design to happen to goggles in years.
 
I was going to mention it, but I forgot. They have some of the larger frames/lenses I've tried. Peripheral vision is excellent, IMHO better than Crowbars. Frames are super flexible, so they fit your face really well.
 
i'm really not sure what appeal there is to airblaster, ashbury, shred, utopia, or any of the other goggles like them. they're the same thing smith was doing like 20 years ago when my parents put me on skis at 3 years old. sure, they've got mirror coating on some of their lenses, but they're ugly as shit and dont fit or work nearly as well as any of oakley's spherical lense goggles, smith I/Os or their other spherical stuff, or any of the better stuff from scott or spy either. i've tried them out, and the lense quality is just not nearly as good, and when i put on a pair of goggles, i want to be able to see as well or better than if i was not wearing them. flat lenses do not accomplish that.
 
If you have ever tried on von zipper feenoms, ashburies are just as comfortable, maybe even more. Just more of a traditional goggle, non spherical, cheaper replacement lens. But not spherical

Airblaster are supposed to be superb comfy, but never tried a pair on. I have a pair coming, and the new chrome lens are nifty. meaning since most snow lens are two lensed, and the mirrored is on the outside, why not put it in the inside and make the mirror look last alot longer?(mirror inside lens, clear outside lens).

Im not going to lie, crowbars are more technical. Probably nicer for anybodys tastes, but everybodys got em. I even own a pair. The buries are really comfy, and flexible, supposedly the blasters are too
 
ive had airblasters for 2 years now and i love them the frames are huge so you can see everything and the lens is flat and so mirrored

better off they just look dope i had a kid ask me to buy them this weekend youll get mad props for rockin airblasters
