Dragon nfx2

[ClosesChide]

I'm trying to decide what pair of goggles to buy for the upcoming season and I think the dragon nfx2 is the best choice for my budget

However I heard many users say that there are problems with the lens change system, the lenses don't fit well in the under part and that the goggles are very fragile.

What's your opinion on these lenses and other in the same budget

I’ve had the dragon x2s for past couple season. Never had a problem with the lens swap system, if anything it’s only been positives.

Not sure who you've been talking to but Dragon is by and large my favorite optics brand right now. I have many pairs of goggs but I have one pair of NFX2's from the first model year and they haven't had a single issue. I've had a couple times where I didn't fully lock the swiftlock but it hasn't been an actual problem. I can tell ya the lenses especially are much stronger than say, Smith. Smith lenses get scratched even if you look at them funny.

There's so many goggle options these days that I'm sure we could nitpick every brand's options at the same price-point, but I'd say just go for it! Or consider the new PXV2 that's coming out this winter which has the 220 degree wrap instead of the usual 180 degree most goggles have, it's my new favorite.

Pxv 2 seem dope but damn 240 euro are too much for a pair of goggles

Should I get the nfx2 then?

I copped a pair of NFX2s last season and they were awesome. The lens change is super easy and my lenses didn't pop out once. Steezy and functional for sure.

Nfx2s are sick, haven't had a problem with mine at all other than the fact that I dropped 300 bucks on them. All of dragons goggles are so damn expensive

wait what? NFX2's retail for $180. Even the more expensive X2's only retail for $230-$240.

300 cad also I got them when they first came out and were full price. Some came with 2 lenses which were cheaper and some came with 3 that were at least 60$ more expensive

Gotcha makes sense, Dragon's pricing is actually very reasonable now. I am blown away Smith charges $300 for the 4D Mag. Yeah it's a sick goggle but absolutely not worth $300.
