I give these goggles a positive review for alpine skiing (bearing in mind I don't like wearing goggles). The product description is accurate.
The fit and form is not too "big". They nest comfortably under a helmet, but the side visibility is good.
If I don't make any mistakes, they don't fog. That is: put them on and leave them on and don't fall down.
If you pay attention to UV index and believe that most optics (polycarbonate, e.g.) don't transmit UV very well, these goggles provide plenty of eye protection in the far north in the middle of winter. Even if it's sunny. (this is why the cheapest sunglasses can boast, "UV protection.") No weird tints, or reflectors or special coatings needed. Just visibility as the lord intended.
The price is (comparatively) right.
Not good if you want to look like a bluebottle fly or stare at people.
Julbo PULSE Goggles
Choosing the right goggle for extremely low-light situations can be tricky. Luckily, Julbo's PULSE goggle helps make the decision a little easier. The SPECTRON 0 lens protects against errant tree branches and works best in very low-light situations, such as night tours or blizzard skiing. Utilizing a frameless design, the PULSE allows for an excellent field of vision while pairing well with just about any helmet. The anti-fog coating and Airflow venting help prevent condensation from gathering on the inside of the lens, letting you focus on an epic descent rather than the slow creep of fog. Finally, dual-density foam on the inside of the goggle is comfortable against your skin while keeping blowing snow out, perfect for storm skiing. Whether riding in the depths of night or deep in a raging storm, the PULSE will answer the call.
