VonZipper Fishbowl Goggle - 2011

I rode the VZ Fishbowl for most of last season and it is the best goggle I've ever had. It isn't just another big sphyrical goggle. It is the ONLY big sphyrical goggle that fits and has an amazing field of vision. After riding the VZ Feenom for 5 seasons I was a little reluctant to change to something bigger, not no more. The Fishbowl is so lightweight and has such an enormous field of vision that I don't think I can go back. give em a try.

I've never really liked wearing goggles. That unnatural look from the lens tint but mainly on seeing the frame. I feel compressed, they're literally up in my face bothering me while I'm riding, cramping up my stoke. No more with this big fatty bowl :D

I'll compare the size difference with the Oakley Crowbar which I've been using for a couple of years and could be said a standard size goggle. The crowbar's peripheral/side vision is very good but it narrows at the top and bottom. The Fishbowl extends vertically and out solving this concern. You have to try hard to see the top/top corners and sides, barely there! The nose area is pretty much the only thing evidently there and it's minimal. If you are looking straight everything just feels so open and free! Go ahead look side to side too, up and down because you have the vision to do so!

Comparable goggles I've tried on are EG2's and Dragon's APX. I've also tried Von Zipper's Feenom which I'd say size wise is in the middle of a standard goggle and the Fishbowl and it also offers good vision vertically.

In short... most goggles already offer great size horizontally and adding great vertical size makes for a much better package ;)

I got these goggles for the upcoming season so I haven't been able to field test them yet. I put them on, they're what I've been looking for, for a long time. If you're bothered by visual limitation from small frames you've got to get these. These goggles are HUGE! Not only can you not see the frame but they're so light and comfortable that it really feels like you're not wearing any goggles at all. Great buy! I can't wait to use them on the mountain!

I got these for $19.50 from whiskey militia a few weeks ago, freaking amazing deal, and was so stoked to try them out on the mountain today. Purple Erkel.

The good: super lightweight, much lighter than a frames, which i usually use, and much more flexible than them as well. A frames always felt pretty rigid to me, but these flex and form to my face very well. The field of vision is amazing. If i look down, i can see a little bit of frame, side to side, maybe a tiny tiny bit, and up...nothing, just my eyebrows...amazing. i literally forgot they were on until it started raining and got drops on the lens. the foam is comfy. The lens tint is nice from the outside, pretty mirrored on a sunny day, and from the inside, seems to be just about the right tint for an all around lens, not to light, not too dark. it's not dark like fire iridium, but not light like a pink iridium or persimmon. pretty good. the goggles are huge, i look like a boss, and they are so comfortable, more even than a frames on my face.

The bad: the optical quality of the lens is not as good as oakley or smith. i always heard that oakley and smith were better than the rest, and i never really believed that you would be able to tell a difference with other companies, but the clarity on the goggles just isn't quite up to the oakleys. with my a frames, i forget i'm looking through a piece of plastic. with these...there are a few aberrations and weird spots, and it just doesn't seem as clear. hard to explain. they're great, just not as good as some others. not enough to worry about or not buy them for though. also, the strap lacks some sticky material to keep the goggles on your helmet. i wish it had that. other than those things, the goggles are top notch.

i wouldn't pay 150 for these, but they are sick goggles. i might convert from my a frames to these, i feel like overall, i like them more. just fit better, cooler look, no fog, dope goggles.

couldn't be happier, especially for $20

These are probably the best goggles I've ever put on my face. I LOVE wearing these! It's amazing what a difference it makes when you can see where you're going. HUGE field of vision and your peripheral vision is pretty much wide open. They really don't fog at all, other than a tiny bit at the bottom when I have a facemask on.

I've got the blackout satin/fire chrome, and they look AWSM! they also have a big field of vision and fits vert well!
