What is the best brand of ski/snowboard goggles?

What are the best?
Listen to me. The name brand is just a brand, won’t make you cool or ride any better. Look at the features on the goggles. Does it have double lenses, anti fog, etc. The truth is you get what you pay for. Sometimes I’ll buy a $20 pair of Smith goggles. They don’t compare at all to my Spy goggles that cost $140, but I spend most of my time in the terrain park, and goggles do fall off and before you know it, they’re lost or someone snatched them up. Either get a good pair and risk losing them or buy a cheap pair and go balls out on the mountain!

Smith pretty much invented all the technology used in goggles today. And, as I’m sure you can imagine, they do it the best. Not only do they do it better than anyone else, they back it up with a lifetime warranty and their customer service is the best in the industry.
I’m a big fan of the new Phenoms but I really like the Prodigy’s, Anthem’s and Fuse’s as well. Next years I/O’s are going to be sick, keep a look out for them.

I can’t even begin to tell you just how many goggles I sell in a season. We carry Smith, Dragon, Anon, Scott, Spy, Electric and Oakley. Smith out sells all of them combined and have the fewest complaints.
