"Excellent goggle for the money."
"I am no expert on ski goggles, but these look very nice."
"I bought these from my nephew to take to Yellowstone for snowmobiling, and while they haven't actually gone yet, he wears these all the time."
"Bought these for a weekend of snow sports BUT, the kid took off with them to 'play with' and 'test out' We live in the desert...no snow unless you are in the mountains...BUT, these withstood the damage that a preteen boy could put them through and were great to keep the insane winds out of our eyes."
"I am glad that I bought these goggles, otherwise my glasses may not have fit in any other."
"I was surprised to see they came in a nice hard canvas zipper case which is great protection."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Many have features like frameless design and magnetic lenses that are usually only found at a much higher price. I've included a photo of them next to the two from OutdoorMaster (it's the one with 3 goggles stacked vertically and the yellow frame on top). I initially purchased the OutdoorMaster goggles in November 2016 with the black frame and grey (VLT 10%) lens. They fit with my Giro Nine just as well (I may be a gaper but no gap here) and seem like they'll offer enough airflow under the lens and through helmet vent system. There's no silicon beads on the strap like my Giro model but it seems to hold onto the helmet anyway. It's firm where the lens sits but is a mesh fabric on the other side ("empty" and "full" photo included). My son used the orange (VLT 66.5%) lens and said it was good all day - overcast daytime through lighted nightime. The grey (VLT 10%) lens worked fine during the day but was a little challenging after dark - exactly what's advertised and what you'd expect. The magnets are really strong, the fact that the lens came off during a recreational race says more about my intelligence relative to humanity than anything else. The vents on the underside of the Giro Nine helmet (my son and I both have one) line up with those on the goggles and the contours of the two are a match. If you understand how a modern helmet like the Nine "pulls" air from the bottom of goggles and through its venting system, you know the importance of having no gap between those two items. Wearing a cloth hat (either with or without a brain-bucket) interrupts this flow, blocking the goggle's top vents. Buy a good helmet with goggle vents, ditch that goofy stocking cap, get rid of your gaper gap, and everything will be fog-free. You exhale warm air, it travels under or through the cloth, rises through the bottom vent of the goggles, and causes fogging inside. When sitting in the lift line with mouth covered and no air moving over the helmet, the OutdoorMaster googles fogged a little. The goggle exhaust vents on the Giro Nine helmet are in front and not covered by a hood so no problem there - lots of airflow through the google/helmet combo. In case you can't tell, I'm convinced that fogging has more to do with the configuration of surrounding components (helmet, etc) than it does the goggles. Fortunately the listing now shows more options coming back in-stock soon - a green (VLT 80%) lens is probably in my future. Again, I'm just a guy who skis, has spent a ton of money on equipment for the family, and found a less-expensive option that he likes. It turns out that the local policing agency declined to pursue the "theft" so I purchased the additional lens using coins I found between the cushions of the chairlift. Of course everyone has her/his preference for color toning, but from a pure "light passage" perspective I'm fine with those two in any conditions. I've included a photo with all 3 OutdoorMaster lenses (it's the one with 3 goggles stacked vertically and the yellow frame in the middle). The green (VLT 81%) worked great under the lights, showing contrasts and detail just fine. The eggheads at the university research hospital say it's my subconscious blocking the horrible image from my conscious. Through all these reviews and my own ramblings, one thing that doesn't get mentioned is how the color of a lens can affect contrast and differentiation. Given a particular set of conditions one color lens might do a better job of showing bumps, beer cans, snowboarders, and other dangerous obstacles than another with an identical VLT."
"Everytime I wear these goggles I am drenched with compliments both on and off the slopes, the most complimentary of which came from the awesome ski gear staff in the city ski shop that I often go to, paragon sports. Have a feeling ill love it, but I didnt want to spend so much on the big brand goggles without being sure I will be frequenting this sport and narrowing what further specs I will need, especially since there is so much ski gear to buy just to get started, all the expenses have added up in a big way, so im cutting back where I can, but still want something good. Got the pink on pink, and the orange lens with light green goggle. Originally I wanted the black frames with the pink lens (cause I thought the bright pink strap would be too much and I prefered to stay all black to match my gear) but I only had one option to get the pink lens which was with the pink goggle frame. Glad it worked out as the bright pink strap doesnt bother me as much, especially since the hood of my ski jacket covers it, but I am interested in purchasing some of the other lenses (like the gold, black, and grey), but aside from the black frames, most of the colorways of the lenses seem to be blocked off to specific frame colors, and im not buying whole goggles again just to get the lenses which defeats the purpose of having a frame with interchangable lenses. To truly take advantage of the replacable lens feature this brand should have all the goggles and lenses available independently."
"Bought these not expecting much for the price, but was blown away with the comfort level, lack of fogging and durability."
"Wore them in this past snow storm while shoveling snow, and they worked great until I put them on top of my head. Put them back on my face after a few minutes and they fogged up."
"Easy to get the lens smudged and then you'll spend the whole day cleaning and recleaning."

Even if you had a big budget, my husband says that when he tried them out, they even worked and fit just as good, if not better, than his $40 Smith goggles."
"I like these goggles!"
"Love how they are so cheap, feel good/comfortable, and protects you well from the elements."
"She chose snowboarding lessons for her winter activity."
"FYI these are good quality however I am an adult male with a normal size head and they limit the peripheral vision, thus, I definitely recommend anyone with similar size head should be looking for a pair with a wide lens."
"They are a little large (so they can fit over glasses, I'm assuming), but they weren't too big for my small face."
"These were for my 13 year old son."
"It looks cool and fits well over my glasses."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The red color looks great, too... it is a shinier finish than expected based on the photo, but that is considered a plus by the 13 year old it was purchased for. I did actually measure prior to ordering, and with a head circumference of 57cm, I opted to buy a large (rather than medium as the chart suggests), and it fits perfectly."
"Just got the helmet and here are my impressions so far: Good: - Nice looking and great color. - Great price. - Just the right fit and sits well on my head (Ordered XL size and my head is not very big). - Holds the googles in place and won't let them slip when I put them on the helmet. - Good and secure googles clip in the back. - Nice looking. Bad: - The Tie-wheel in the back of the helmet is sticking out and pressing on my neck a little."
"However my head must be longer from front to back than most too, because the helmet was pretty tight on my forehead. And after some of the spills and yard sales I had coming down the blues towards Vail Village, I am glad I had it."
"I don't ski or snowboard all that much, but I was tired of paying rental fees for helmets when I could get my own and this fit the budget perfectly (the price of a rental over a typical ski trip)."
"It's adjustable enough to wear a balaclava underneath it and still fit snug and comfortable."
"I bought the large size ( I usually wear a medium helmet ) so I can place a baraclava underneath in really cold weather. Overall, I am very happy with it."
"Ordered two diff colors on accident ended up keeping both to encourage a friend to use if they haven't got one yet."
"Side note: If you have a giant noggin, the Anon Talan (by Burton) helmet has an XXL size that fits."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I wanted a better quality , not too pricey snowboard rack for my Jeep, I was very sceptical about this product because of one bad review that it had from a buyer...but i'm glad that I still went ahead and got it."
"This rack does lock, but a determined thief could probably smash the appropriate parts plastic to be able to detach the clamps from the crossbars. Alternatively, a determined thief could use a hex wrench to detach the crossbars from the side rails attached the car. I consider this rack completely adequate for use for a restaurant break on a long trip - assuming in a well lit parking lot, with a decent number of people coming and going. 3) For step 5.1, you can loosen the knob (rather than remove) and then pull the bolt sideways out though the slit in the lower plate of the clamp. Doing it the other direction makes it possible for the inner, metal nut to separate from the plastic knob, which took me a while to diagnose and fix; learn from my mistake.)."
"I use these racks as fishing rod holders on top of my Outback."
"This rack works well and I will recommend it."
"There are multiple points of adjustment to get a secure fit, and a fool-proof retainer to prevent accidental opening of the mounting clamp. I am very satisfied with how this rack attaches to our factory cross bars, it's very sturdy and does not budge. There is a plastic sleeve on the crossbar that the (much thinner) metal part of the bar fits into. With one clamp pushed all the way up against the end of the metal part of the crossbar, the other side clamp is on top of the plastic sleeve part of the crossbar (if you have these bars, you'll know what I mean). Safe and secure for sure, but very bulky, I would NOT want to leave these on my car, they really reduce MPG's and increase noise."

"Exceeded my expectation."

"Probably going to save this for later in the season when the temps warm up and the sun is out a bit more."
"So I went to wax my board before the first trip to the hill of the season and my iron won't get hot enough to even melt the wax. While it was only 2 degrees out I did ask for an all temp wax so it shouldn't have felt so sticky."

Find Best Price at Amazon"We live in Washington and it costs $40 for a wax and sharpening of the blades. It was easy with this set and took about 30-45 minutes total to wax and sharpen my blades. This set comes with enough wax to do aprox 4 ski waxings. The cord is somewhat curly and cumbersome since it came in a tight wad, so I had a friend hold the cord while I waxed since it was too short to drape over my shoulder like a power tool cord, but too long so it kept dropping into the hot wax. The file also has too big of a handle underneath the file-stone, so you can't sharpen near the ski stoppers because it crashes into the stopper and gets hung-up. Note to the beginner (meaning me): I laid down a ton of newspaper on the floor, but once I started scraping the skis wax flew everywhere."

The parking lot at the resort we ski at is only a few footsteps from the mountain so I really just needed something that would make carrying all my gear to and from our apartment easier and not so clunky."
"The expandable handle/shoulder strap lets you sling your skis over the shoulder for walking to the slopes or just hold them in your hand if you prefer. I've got my pre-teen children putting their own carriers together and carrying their own skis (the real reason I bought them)."
"This is a well thought out ski and pole carrier that is easy to use and well made. Although I normally leave my skis outside the lodge when I get to the door, I'll take the bowtie off my skis and put it in my boot bag while I ski. The holder straps look to be able to hold a ski and pole that are about 6" wide at the waist which is pretty fat, but some of the new super wide skis might be a challenge to wrap up."
"We saw a lot of people struggling with their skis and poles, and parents trying to figure out how to carry their own and their kids' skis - my advice would be to get a couple of these and the kids can carry their own skis."
"The only complain I have is that it is hard to wrap the velcro on the skis when you are wearing ski gloves."
"It took me a while for me to figure out how to wrap my skis and poles with the carrier."
