Summary:
The styling on this goggle when worn without a helmet was too boxy for some. But the fit is decent and the functionality superb. I wore them hiking in the backcountry with a helmet on -- a time when most goggles would instantly fog up. But the Arnette Rulers stayed fog-free the entire time.

Strengths:
These goggles r hella comfy and look really tight the colors r awsome and they never fog up lenses stay really clear. Helmet specific fit

Weaknesses:
not a thing these r awsome goggles

Summary:
The Arnette Rulers were designed with helmet-wearers in mind. For thicker helmets, the strap can be moved out with the use of a pin system -- take the pins out and insert the strap through the slits on each side of the frame, then reinsert the pins. It took some effort to complete this procedure, so you'll probably want to adjust it one time and leave it alone. Still it's a nice option to have if you need it.

Strengths:
everything especially the looks, Contoured foam around nose

Weaknesses:
Strap pin system was a little awkward to use
