| Quick question but anyone know how to tell if EG2's or EG2.5's would fit your face best? Local shop doesn't have them in the correct colour but BB does and it's as a gift so is there a rule of thumb without trying them on? Can measure face of recipient while sleeping if needed. Would helmet size be a good indicator? |

Are you buying for a woman? The EG2.5s would probably be better if you are, but then it really is a personal preference on style. You could always buy them, check them out and return them for the larger model if you decide they would be better... |

| Yeah, they are the same price and don't really want to go for a smaller pair if a bigger pair would fit as they look better when hueg tbh. |

| but if they are for a woman they can sometimes look massive, I personally pay the same price for the smaller frame goggles as the big ones look stupid on me. But like I said you can always swap - or if worried about time for xmas, buy both then send one back. |

| Thanks for the advice, probs just get the smaller ones as there is no way I can afford to buy 2 and send one back. Cheers. |

My mrs has a set of smith goggles but i think she got them when she was out in Norway. I went and tried on some Oakley and Anon ones earlier.
Didn't think that much to the Oakley ones, wasn't a fan of the style of them but the anon ones were awesome and had another free lens with them. They were 50 quid in the shop so I'm gonna see what price they are online and if they are much more i'll get them locally. |

I bought a pair of Dojo's from shadestation, similar to these but with a white frame and a fire chrome lens, http://www.shadestation.co.uk/Von-Zippe ... -9002.html
£47 but with the SCUK discount as well. Pretty sure they are discontinued now and lens are proving to be quite expensive.
They also stock cheap Dragons (40 quid for the DX, 36 for the DXS), you also get some rhubard and custard sweets added to the box! |
