X-9s and glasses
By High Planes Drifter
These are OTGs. They are designed to fit over glasses. If you are not a glasses wearer I am not sure why you would pay for this model. They are big. I have not had the problem with them sliding down on my nose that others have reported. (Did they tighten the strap?). Some Rx glasses that are very wide (hinge screw to hinge screw) may not fit well under these glasses.I have skied for 4 decades and always with my glasses. There are 3 main problems that the glasses wearer faces with goggles: 1) fitting the glasses under the goggles, 2) fogging, 3) the tendency for the goggles to cause the glasses to wiggle or vibrate with every bump impact.1) Fit: these seem to be adequate although skiing is so important to me that I consider the width of the glasses I will use when I purchase the glasses. Some Rx glasses are too wide to fit well under any goggles.2) Fogging: The goggles seem to do fine. That does not mean your glasses will not fog. It is important that you use some kind of anti-fog coat on your glasses. The cloths are okay, but the sprays and greases (Cat Crap for example) seem to work even better although you pay a price in overall clarity (they tend to leave a film).3) Vibration: These are okay. The cut outs on the sides help and as long as the front corners of your glasses are not rubbing on the goggle lenses the problem is not any worse than simply wearing your glasses.Miscellaneous comments for the glasses wearer: Fogging is the biggest problem IMO. I like powder. I ski when it is snowing. Here's a few tips:- Put your goggles on before you walk out of the lodge. Do not let your glasses lenses get any colder than they have to have to; it will only make the fogging problem worse.- Don't let your head overheat. If you wear a wool hat consider taking it off when it gets warmer. If your helmet has vents - open them up as much as possible. The cooler your face is; the less it will cause your glasses to fog.- I have tried the goggles with the fan built in to them. They did not really help me any. If the goggles I am using have adjustable vents I always keep them as open as possible. The X-9 does not have adjustable vents, but they seem to be as "open" as any I have used with adjustable vents.One other thing: Previous reviewers have not mentioned the tint of their X-9s. They come 4 tints. My "modulator vermillion" did not change colors evenly and leaves me with a very distracting dark area in one section of my field of view when the sun comes out. The "modulator" is a very nice tint feature because of its wide range of light adaptability. I will reorder another pair of these as I like them a lot. If the new ones are not better I will let you know. I have a pair of "polarized brown" that are very nice on sunny days

Nice goggle for the price!
By Victor Wen
I bought this elsewhere but I thought I should let prospective buyer know. I have the black frame and vermillion lens. The goggle covers almost half of my face. This is a good thing since it blocks quite a bit of wind. It never fogged up yet. The vents work well. The lens color takes some getting used to at first. But once you wear it for a few minute, your eyes will adjust to it and you won't notice it. The over-sized lens provides great all around visibility. It contrasts well in either sunny or cloudy day so you can see the trail better and ride harder and faster. An added bonus is that you can wear it over the glass (I don't but I tested it at home). Given the low cost of this lens. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

By superupsman
Great goggles for the price. They stayed clear all day everyday without fogging. The Over The Glasses feature would come in handy if I had glasses and the amber colored lenses were great for various weather conditions. One problem that I did have is that the goggles tend to slide down my face a little and rest on my nose, somewhat restricting my breathing through my nose. It wasn't unbearable though, just an annoyance that I can put up with. Overall I'd recommend them.
