If you can, take your helmet into a place with goggles to confirm fit before purchasing.
I have Oakley Airbrake XL's and they are the only goggles I have have used in years.

I had to do this, my Oakleys barely fit in my helmet.

Can’t beat the 509 heated goggles but I also run a pair of TOBE goggles and am happy with them, better than most I’ve tried (non heated)

I run Oakley flight decks with prism lenses, they have been great. If its super cold out I wear my Carbon 509 with the heated visor.

Oakley Line Miner with rose prizm lens. Not quick change but I keep a spare pair in goggle bag under the hood. They almost never fog on me, ice fog on the outside is the more common issue.

Tempest is a new company that I would like to try but sadly they dont ship to Canada yet. No external battery pack, charge last for up to 3 days I guess, magnetic lense, no need to do anything other than put them on.



Ive been wanting to try the Smith Squad Mag or the 100% Norg, not a fan of my Oakley's or Tobe.

Like others Smith Goggles have been really good for me. Pricey though.

Have a couple of the ZEAL portals. They do let snow in when you have dry powder. Snow gets between the frame and lense. Always found small amounts of snow on the inside of the goggle.

Found a cheaper goggle a couple years ago and they have been good. Magnetic lenses like the Smith's. I see now they are just as much as the other brands though.

Like anything gear related though not one goggle will work for everyone. I had some ABOM heated goggles but they would fog instantly after I put them on.

I've been using's Zeal Nomads for probably 5 years, have smiths and 509's in my arsenal but always go back to the Zeals.

I have a couple pair of heated Abom goggles which is the same people as the new Tempest goggles. And a pair of Oakley infernos, infernos are definitely superior in battery life but the Aboms work well, just need two pair to get through a day when it’s deep and cold

Smith I/O XL
Come with a sunny day lens and a flat light lens
The XL have more space to keep from fogging up
Really easy to change
They make a wicked double lens clear tint for night riding

Same story...
I've been using the same pair of Zeal googles with the Photochromatic lens for at least 7 seasons. I tried a set of Heated 509's (which I sold), a set of Oakley's (which I gave to my son for Snowboarding) and went back to the Zeal's.

ran scotts at first and was happy with them , am now running klim edge with their F3 carbon and its the best ive tried. No fogging issues at all and lense swap is easy, i dont even bother carrying a second set of goggles anymore. My father has the 509 Heated aviators and is also happy with them.

Kicking this one up again with Black Friday sales etc

Joakleys seem to have decent 30-50 % off will look for the roze prizm

I have ignites as well but always good to have a spare set

The only thing I don’t care about Oakley’s is that they don’t seem to be very Motorsport conscious….
No outriggers on their latest lineup of goggles to fit helmets properly.
And no nose/roost guard…

I just bought some anon goggles last month and they are the best quality goggles I’ve ever owned. Have had numerous pairs of oakleys, dragons, spy, smith, 509 junk, Aboms and the quality of Anon beats them all in my opinion

check out the new tempest heated goggles.
no buttons other than a battery status button. they turn on and off automatically so they can't b left on and the battery life potentially can last for days.
no external battery pack.
dunno if they ship to the great white north but the website does convert currency to canadian so they may ship there now.

Did you receive them already?

I spotted this awhile back, but they weren’t ready to ship yet.

I like the idea and looks of these, but the price is a bit bougie…

i did. the price for the infinity style goggles and a spare lens was 255. cheaper than the klim efires which i also looked at but i dislike the external batt pack and having to deal with buttons. i think the klim ones are just shy of 3 hundo.

They do now, got an email from them a month ago or so. I emailed them last winter when they first released their goggle asking them to let me know when they would start shipping out of the states. It’s the group that used to own Abom before the US government basically forced them outta business in the beginning of Covid…… but that’s another story
