I’ve been using Oakley airbrakes goggles for years but time for a change. Looking for a set of goggles that you can easily swap lenses. What’s good these days?

I’m in the same position…
Had an older set of Dragons that I loved. Thinner frames with the lenses sitting closer to your face give a much better field of view….
I’ve been looking at the Scott & FLY products. They seem to be very Motorsport friendly.

Where are you guys looking? Online or does someone have a decent dealer?

Every sled dealer I’ve been to only carries 509 & FXR garbage.

I tried 509 and they were terrible. Maybe better now as that was a few years back.

We use 100% brand they are the best I have found use the same pair all day they don’t fog at all for me. Good quality and decently priced compared to others.
I have heard these are decent. Any particular model?

Fort nine I believe carry’s them. Matrix Concepts is the distributor but I am not sure if you can buy direct from them. Rec Supply may also carry them.

509 aviator 2.0 goggle without the heat is a quick change with the lenses. They clip onto the goggle frames with magnets.

I also picked up another pair from a ski and board shop in saskatoon, magnetic frames similar to the 509's. But you get 2 lenses and the goggles for under $200.

I think the brand was Trinsic, they fit good in my Klim helmet.

I agree, 509 are a terrible goggle. Don't bother with heated goggles either, non are very good for what you pay for.
Have a look at Zeal optics, I have been using them for 3 seasons and doubt any other perform much better.
They have a few different models, the one you would be interested in uses the "Rail Lock System" for the lens.
Check them out, I doubt you will be disappointed.

BTW, the ones I use are the "Portal RL"

Anyone running the 509 heated with the magnetic lenses. Wondering how well they work.

I've been running various Oakley goggles. I purchase from their Canadian website, and only buy when they are on sale. I generally try to get the "larger" sizes, whatever that means. I only buy Prizm lenses, and ideally the high light transmission lenses - though the darker lenses are easier to find on sale.
