G'day

looking to get some goggles in the near future and have been looking at a few brands.

mainly utopia, spy and smiths...

i currently have a madmax II (sml) and i was wondering if anyone out there has had experience with the fit of these brands in relation to the giro helmet? (i.e how do hey fit into the eye port)

also, what does everyone think about these particlular goggles... i am looking for cheap here.... i don't need dragons.... lol

hey i got a small mad max as well and i use dragon mdx goggles. i bought them yesterday for 60 bucks at sydney city motorcycles cause theyve got a sale on (dont know when it ends). went for a nice little spin with them today and they fit comfortably inside the helmet, and allow for a fairly wide range of vision. i suggest you take your helmet with you when you buy goggles(like i did), as the mad max's have a funky shape and some goggles dont fit as well as others.

They are not all that popular either - so PIMP factor

I rekon, fuck em all off and buy a set of Oakleys! I used to run a set of scott antifogs which were good, but i just bought a set of Oaks for my Full bravo 2, the matt black one, and got the night camo goggles with a black iridium lens, looks BEEFY AS!! but the oaks, they fit perfectly to ur face! blus the iridium lenses take away all teh glare, but i can still ride in low light with em, seriously have a look at these b4 u buy any others!

hey all - i tried on a set of mates top of the line smith goggles and wore them arounf on his helmet. one thing turned me off them- when i wore the goggle with the helmet it seemed to pull the bottom of th helmet up to fit comfortably on my face(i.e it exposed my chin) do all goggles do this or is it just the particular shape of the smiths?

does anyone have any suggestions about goggles that are fairly short (i.e height)?
