Haha had the i/o and I/Ox peripheral vision aint the best in my opinion and the Iox don’t work well with helmets so both those out but hey thanks

i’m surprised the IOX doesn’t work with smith helmets

anyways goggles are like condom’s

just because they have massive “frames” doesn’t mean it will fit everyone
wink

Great comparison they didn’t work with my Giro 10 helmet and to be honest the peripheral vision from the I/o to I/Ox was minimal they are
Some huge ass frames though just not in the right areas at least for me

Ended up choosing the VZ Fishbowl they do have the best peripheral vision compared to Dragon APX, EG2, Anon Insurgent at least for my face the runner up would definitely be EG2 I think it might be damn near the same the only thing it that the EG2 have a lil more foam that didn’t work well for me. After that it would be the Anon Insurgent and surprisingly the Dragon APX come in last compared to the other 3. Down side I ended up having to buy a new helmet my Giro G10 didn’t work with these goggles order the Giro Seam as recommended. Will update on fit when i get the helmet in a few days.

The Fishbowls fit great with my Giro Seam helmet and I couldn’t be happier with the peripheral vision on them, they are amazing only issue is they fog up sometimes when I put my facemask up towards them it might be the ways I got them sitting on my face which I’m gonna adjust see if that helps when I’m out there but I figured I’d ask anyone have any objections in using some anti fog spray on the goggles ?? I know it has some on it because that avertise them being anti fog which 90% of the time they are just sometimes have issues when I’m waiting for the lift when they fog up a lil towards the bottom of the goggles

Here’s one that I found
