Decent goggle for the price
I bought these and the Anon Realm for this season. The Figment is a bit smaller, and it seems like they're a little more limitting in their field of view. However, they're very comfortable, don't fog, and have nice clean optics.
Definitely a good option if you're looking for goggles.

Great goggles for anybody who wants cool looking bt yet functional goggles
These things fit amazingly. The colors are very cool too. These goggles are great no fog goggles too, even when they fog up the fog dissapears amazingly fast. Great goggles for any budget.

Great googles, look awesome and work just as well would recomend to any friend of mine to buy.
These are my third pair of googles and by far my favorite, I've been riding with them for the past three months and out here in PA its been pretty nasty. They have good peripheral vision and so far havn't scratched, they look great and are just awesome in general.
06-07 Dragon Mace Review
0Overall a great goggle, with a decent price. Dragon has exceeded my expectations, and really created a winner here.
Dragon’s new Mace frame is finally a goggle for me. Bigger than many of their recent goggle lines, but with the same sleek look and quality design, the Mace is a perfect fit. Following up on the Foil, the Mace uses Dragon’s curve-corrected polycarbonate lens. This gives it great optical clarity, and looks flashy, but does make the goggle a little stiffer. Dragon has always gotten big points for style, and this year’s Mace is no different. There are tons of colors and patterns to choose from; I’m particularly fond of the Dragon logo print.
These goggles quickly became my pair of choice this winter. I’ve clocked many hours in varying conditions, without even the hint of fog. The optics are great, no distortion visible, and the goggle has great peripheral vision, thanks to the extended frame in the bottom corners. The goggles still look almost brand new, the lens has proven resistant to scratching, the pattern still looks fresh, and the strap is holding up fine. I’m particularly fond of the way the goggle interfaces with most helmets, creating a near seamless fit on everything I’ve tried them on.
06-07 Bula Matte Review
0These goggles are a lower-quality option that works it need be, but aren’t the best.
I have a petite face and these goggles drown me, they’re huge. The lenses work fine, but are too large for comfort; it was difficult to get these adjusted. Because of the size, they don’t really appeal aesthetically. The elastic band has a non-slip quality which should keep them on your helmet, but it didn’t work very well. These would be best for a young rider with a fuller frame and
face. They are not meant for your everyday rider.
06-07 Angel Eyewear Lacy Review
0I like this shape goggle, it is comfortable and even though it sometimes ventilates too well, it functions really well.
I think this goggle’s shape is similar to the Oakley A-Frame. It has an attractive, well-fitting, rounded shape that would fit most any female face shape. The frame is not stiff and it bends so that the foam presses comfortably against your skin. If you know the A-Frame, it is a bit smaller goggle, but it is not narrow. It works well with or without a helmet.
There are two things that I would change. There is foam in all the vents except some tiny ones on the sides, right next to the strap. In bitter cold or wind, I have felt more fresh air inside the goggle than I would like. That said, they ventilate well and do not fog. The other thing I noticed is that the lens is soft and scratches really easily. I am careful not to be rough on them, but even with normal wear and tear there are light scratches. I had no visual impairment, the scratches are not noticeable when wearing them; but looking at them from the outside you can tell.
06-07 Anarchy Eyewear Radney Review
0For a less expensive alternative to the Oakley A-Frame check out Anarchy’s new line of snow goggles. Form fitting and helmet compatible with a silicon-backed strap for a secure fit on any helmet. Note: This particular frame fits smaller faces.
As Anarchy eyewear breaks into the goggle market they do so with style and function. Seven ventilation ports allow continual air flow through the goggle to prevent fogging and condensation. The duel lens provides for optimal visual clarity and protection. Additionally it is made of a shatter resistant (something Oakley doesn’t have) material with a scratch resistant coating. I wore these goggles in both snowy and sunny conditions, day and night. They performed equally well in all conditions and are even compatible on full face snowmachine helmets.
This particular lens(Polarized) was a bit much for bright, sunny days but the clarity and enhancement was exceptional in flat light and even night riding sessions.
05-06 Adidas Yodai Review
0Being an Adidas product I’m wondering how many shops will actually be carrying this line of goggles. I mention this because it is always nice to try on equipment before buying it, even if you’re going to be ordering it online (for the desired lens, color, etc). If you can’t find a place to try them on, then you may be compelled to buy something else. Although, if you want to trust my opinion, the Adidas Yodai’s are cool looking goggles that are reasonably priced and function well.
Goggles can make or break a day of riding. You could have the best powder conditions in the world and be miserable if your goggles aren’t working properly. Anti-fogging ventilation and the proper lens for the light conditions are a couple of the most important things you’ll look for in a pair of goggles. The Adidas Yodai Goggles aren’t anything special but they do have a cool sleek look, unrestricted vision, they have numerous options for different lenses, they haven’t given me any fogging issues yet, and they’re reasonably priced at about $72.
A common impression one might get from a pair of goggles with the name Adidas on them might be, “why would I buy goggles from someone who makes shoes?” But don’t let this misconception fool you. These goggles have quality distortion free lenses that do not easily fog. Although I would have to disagree with the advertised statement, “easily changeable lenses.” I have never seen a pair of goggles that truly has easily interchangeable lenses. The most expensive component of a pair of goggles is the lens anyway so I’ve always been of the opinion that if you’re going to buy another lens you might as well buy another pair of goggles. You’ll save yourself the hassle of changing lenses along with the weather and the risk of scratching or damaging them will be significantly reduced as well.
I like these goggles. I think I would have called them something other than Yodai but I guess a lot of the cool names like Dragon or Spy have already been taken. Who cares about the name anyways? Lets all admit that what’s really important is how cool they look, or more to the point, how cool they look on you. These goggles in particular have a streamline slightly bulged look that looks real good with my helmet. Another thing I like is that, unlike Oakley and some other big brands, not everyone and their mom has them. A little differentiation is a good thing.
These goggles are priced at about what I would have expected. They’re not a remarkable bargain but for $72 you are getting a quality pair of goggles. I guess I would be a little more suspicious of the quality of the product if they were cheaper.
