Summary:
I love these so far. I tryed to fog them up and they just woouldent, I mean, i'd breath on the lenses, and it would only stay fogged for like 2 seconds. Very clear lenses, and they are comfy as well.

Strengths:
Sweet Lenses
New ones dont look so ugly
Dont fog

Weaknesses:
The first day i got them they made me feel dizzy. They smell kinnda funkey, maybe it was just hte cabinite the store kept them in.

Summary:
Awesome goggles. Get last seasons instead of this seasons if you can. They're solid

Strengths:
Don not fog, repeat do not fog even when they've been on your snow covered beanie for twenty minutes. I have the ros elens and this helps in low light. Good looking goggles also, mine came with a strap than had $100 dollar bills on it. Fit my head just right and there are no air leaks in them. Overall, a very good goggles so far. The lens are also replaceable but i don't know for how much

Weaknesses:
Original price, but you can last seasons for half off and they are exactly the same as this seasons.

Smith's. They were allright but fell apart easily and tended to fog up. They were not airtight at high speeds. The arnette's are and this is extremely important tfor me

Summary:
Awesome goggle - considering i got it for 30 bucks. Extremely comfortable and stylish. They do not fog at all- even when flying at 40mph. The only complaint i have is the range of vision. They are a little small. It just makes it harder to see where you are going when you are skiing backwards, but ill deal. Get this goggle

Strengths:
comfort - lack of fogging - strength
helmet strap tabs - looks

Weaknesses:
range of vision
