[chop]

Has any one used these? Any good? thoughts?

never head of it:done:

Been a while since I saw any of them, the early ones looked pretty average when I saw them in the States a few years back. More importantly they don't seem to have a NZ distributor so that may make getting lenses etc a bit of a hassle: http://www.utopiaoptics.com/contact
Better to stick with something better known with availability of spares IMO, plenty of choices Oakley, Scott, Dragon, Smith and Spy are all good with representation in the market.

Nah, but much as I like Scott roll offs and dimpled lens - their foam life is not great - why are looking at these goggles ?

[chop]

Ahh now thatd be telling nige!! I had a pair years ago and they were the shit! But nz distributor vanished and was hard to get bits. The pair I got were awsome as fair as anti fog and held up well. I still have them but lenses have had it

[takitimu]

Going walkabout in oct if you want me to pick up bits in USA - might just get a few pairs - not happy at new Scott goggles already having foam degrading - do the lenses have dimples 4 roll offs ? & do Scott roll offs fit ( got a few sets now )

Oo, nice. Was looking on btosports.com but they didnt seem to have any rolloff addons.

[little.whittle]

How much and whos the dealer?? :rockon:

[little.whittle]

I reakon Pro Grip are very nice. But light sensitive lenses seem to be a bit 'sensitive' haha when they are left with a bit of moisture they come apart... :argh: sooo i have clear roll offs and work awesome.

[vanmajor]

i have many pairs of scott goggles, the 89XI model. both roll off and tear off systems.

best goggles i have ever had, very comfortable and i don't seem to have a problem with the foam. the roll of system has the dimpled lens and is best suited to wet rides or wet and sandy rides where you would be pulling far too many tear off's. as for the perfectly watered track i much prefer the no sweat tear off's, they don't stick and they give good vision.

oakley's are not bad either, many people seem to run them.

How much and whos the dealer?? :rockon:

[vazza]

Flag that!! Order in the US!

Yea thats the RRP..

I like my pro grips with the wide roll offs, but yea have had that problem with the lens like little.whittle

Going along the lines of what Van has already stated, the 89XI Scott goggles with roll off system are very comfortable ,lenses are of good quality (haven't cracked like some other brands in the past), and that foam is still like new after alot of use under all sorts of conditions .

The only flaw that I have picked up on is that with the roll off system like most goggles I assume, is if you are trail riding with big puddles or riding with substantial rain ,water will get behind the roll off and thus making the goggles next to useless.

Personally , I think they are a great option as mine all up with the roll off kit was $140-$150 from Cycletreads, and have worked a treat in both dry and tacky-wet race conditions.

Just received the slayer pro and 2 warrents. They are really good! Also have two sets of roll offs which seem to work awesome. They look cool too :cool:
