Quick straps are great and have ued them for years, just hard to get off to dry when the get filled with snow/wet.

DO NOT like quick straps. :rolleyes: Use 2 maybe 3 pairs of goggles a trip riding in the powder. I like to take them off and switch them out regularly versus have them stuck on the back of my head collecting snow and getting wet. I guess if you don't have somewhere to put them other than the back of your head they are good. :dunno: When I need them off for digging out and stuff, I tuck mine in the front of my jacket to keep dry.

I think it makes a big difference how and where you ride on this one.:confused: The peeps with quick straps in our group are the ones that have the goggle issues cuz they aren't as simple to switch out or keep out of the elements and then to get back on quickly...but that's ok with me, I can get to the powder faster :eek:

Got them, but don't use them anymore. :cool:

I made all 4 of mine very simple... i dont use the little round POS button . Velcro on both side. One in the pack, one under the hood, one in the seat and one on the skid lid. But i save the old bands, never know when they will come in handy for tieing something off or up

That sounds like a much better plan. :wtg: Easy to get off and on versus the buttons.

You bet and the trade off is a nice warm foam , down side is it costs twice as much.

Hahah, nothing better than warm, dry foam on the ol' goggles hey. :d
One of the best extras on the Cats is the goggle drying bag under the hood...holy he!! that's a super feature. Few minutes in there and they are dried right out. There's another company making them too...if you can fit one of these bags under your hood, they are fricken amazing.
