Summary:
Get Oakleys or Iris's, they are a way better lense, and the company might actually respond to letters.

Strengths:
Look Good, Have good nose coverage. As long as it is a perfect day and you don't bail, they work alright.

Weaknesses:
Lenses are horrible, fog up, crack easily, replacements were not any better.

I used some Smith goggles I paid $21 for (staff discount) and I would take them over the arnettes any day, I could see in such better detail.

Summary:
Great goggle, looks cool and works just as well. Fits well on my face and in my helmet. That is the down side to many goggles, they don't fit into helmets. But the strap is snug around my helmet. I think they are a great pair of goggles.

Strengths:
fits my face well, has never fogged up on me. Looks COOL

Weaknesses:
one weakness, strap is a little too snug with my helmet
