What should i go with? i Have crowbars with a pink ird lens but im thinking about trading for I/Os because of the quick switch lense. Plus they have the clip on the strap so its mad easy to put my skullcandys under them unlike my crowbars. What are the ups and downs of them though?
 
I/Os are I think the sickest goggles on the market right now. Its not just the quick change lens (which is sick btw), I swear it is impossible to make these things fog up! Plus they look soo clean... Some rad colourways on the way next year:

Besides, every kid and his dog has crowbars...
 
It's the goggle that all the rich tourist buy. That and A-frames. I like crowbars, but I am sick of seeing them.
 
yea everyone has crowbars. Im def goin with IOs i love the quick change lense system. its what ive been looking for. Plus they look dope.
 
honestly, i agree wity you about crowbars but smith hasent perfected the i'o yet. theres a big gap under the nose that a lot of wind gets through and theyre kinda uncomfortable. the tech works awsome its just the fit that they are changing. id wait till next year. they put more foam under the nose and made it way way softer. i sent mine back this year.
 
damnnnn well i wear a bandana alot so im not worryed about that part plus i rock goggle sag. How uncomfortable are they?
 
Crowbars are great, you shouldn't not get them because everyone has them. Not to say there aren't other reasons you'd rather get a different goggle.I have heard great things about i/os though, especially the lens changing system, but like the other guy said, I read reviews that peoples eyes get dry or start watering because they let a lot of air in under the nose. I have crowbars(seth morrison pros, pretty much guarenteed to see gapers who think they can huck 50 ft fronties just cus they have the goggles), and they are dope goggles. The outriggers help the goggle fit good all the time, especially with helmets. Also, try them on if you haven;t already. The fit can be the tie breaker.
 
I got mine a month or so ago, and to be honest they are amazing, I have next years and there is no problem with air getting in, they are supper comfortable too. I highly recommend them.
 
Im hooked on teh I-O soo sick sweet color patterns too the phenoms are also dope gogs....i never was really fan of crowbars...they look dope but squeezed my nose way too tight and was never a fan of of that
