    I have some cheap progrips.

    Scratched the lens up on my first rainy ride - what did I learn from that? Dont wipe the lens with your hand/gloves, you'll scratch them. If you rub at dirt, it scratches the lens, so flush it off.

    New lens was $18. They've had a year of use since, with minimal light scratches from washing and waxing them.

    So now if needed I rinse them under the camelbak hose, and flick the water off.
    Pre-ride apply wax at home, and gently buff with a tissue.

    I purchased another set with light sensitive lenses, but I find these have heavier foam etc, and dont seem to fit as well as the old pair.

    all the roll offs (pro grip, smith, scott) all use the same mounting holes, so you can just get a smith pre drilled oakley shape lens and run what ever roll offs you like,

    Have tried practicaly all the brands to date, and have never really found a pair that sits well with me in my hulmut, vision and breathing taken into consederation, and althought I always have a set of goggles perched on the back side of my helmets using "quick straps" in case of an emergency, I only always wear safety glasses, and these can be bought at any safety clothing outlet store for about $40.00

    Life is about having fun.

    I just got a pair of Smith Intake yesterday with the fox armor and the F16 clothing set I bought from BTO they look like they are pretty cool.
    ,
    They have Oakley O frames on close out for $20USD at the moment!

    Here http://www.btosports.com/c/GogglesCloseOut

    The fox Launch gear fits well and looks good quality. Best price I could get here was $280-00. I paid about $150NZD for the Armour from BTO took less than a week!

    I know this sounds werd but if you spit in them and wipe them around inside and outside you will find that they wont fog up, used it the last couple of rides (rain and cold etc...) and didn't fog up and im using Thor goggles...

    Divers also do the same thing to stop fogging up underwater...
