The APX are frameless, that’s about the only difference I can see. The EG2 and Fishbowl look really similar. (I could be wrong though, I’ve been wrong before..) lol LOL EG2’s would be my pick. Wouldn’t say no to a pair of APX’s though, they look pretty sick.

bottom line
whatever fits your face

price will play part believe APX is more expensive than the other two

The APX now comes in a smaller frame as well. I’m almost certain it’s called the APXs.

I’m looking at getting the orange ones to match my awesome outfit lol. Should i wait to get them some where in cooma or on the mountain or should i get them from your Sydney contacts.

I’ve already tried them here but $250 is a bit of a stretch.

Whatever works with your face and helmet setup, i know it can b uncomfortable to wear my eg2’s with sandbox helmets with my face, but they match up perfectly with my protec.

Awesome, thanks for the advice. I’ll have to check them out with my helmet on good point.

Main thing is fit. I can vouch for von zipper feenoms as an awesome alternative. They are spherical lens. Large lens, but not as big as the Fishbowl. Great vision and comfy.

Thanks for the Tip K2, i’ll give them a whirl to try as an alt.

Ive got the fishbowls and i love them, only criticism i have is that with my orange reflecty lenses in some angles in bright light i can see the reflection of my eye on the inside of the lens. It doesnt really affect me at all, its just a minor distraction some times.
