rimless goggles

[gmcunni]

Son has hinted that he'd *love* some new goggles for Christmas this year and his style of choice is the rimless POC Lobes and Smith I/O. Besides these two models does anyone know of others with similar style but perhaps a lower price tag?

I sell smith, spy, scott, and anon. Out of these only the I/O is the "rimless" design.

I have not owned a pair but have tried them on many times. I do not feel they provide a better view. The only advantage of them I feel is the quick change of the lenses. So if you are a person that swaps your lens a bunch, they do have a advantage.

We sell the Giro Manifest but it's high end also. In addition to the Smith I/O there is also the I/O Turbo which has a battery operated fan to help keep the lens from fogging up. I know they sound silly but people love them. One advantage to these "rimless" goggles is that they come with additional lenses and changing them, once you learn the tricks, is very easy and quick. The lenses of the I/O are held on frame by clips very similar to the clips that are on many storm windows. These goggles retail; from $160 - $210. Not sure about the POC, don't sell those.

I have a pair of the Smith I/O's and absolutely love them! I've seen them come up for sale on Steep and Cheap from time to time at a greatly reduced price, so keep your eye out for them. You might get lucky.

They are on Tramdock now, $69.99. Not the best color though

 

[gmcunni]

Thks jeff. I'd get a good laugh out of it but I don't think jake would wear that color combo.

On Tramdock again, probably the same color as last time... Not very appealing...
