      I actually wouldn't mind wearing one. They look unique. I would have to try it on first though.

          They are just too ugly. I like my Profiler a lot more!

                  The goggles look like crap. The straps are overkill, except for kids with small heads. Its kinda ugly. It reminds me of a Jet Pilot mask.

                    Well now wait a minute. These people come from what looks like an EYEWEAR background. This is a fresh look at the goggles we all know and love. Let's keep in mind that both Scott and JT came from a MOTOCROSS background, and the goggles they developed were based on motocross.

                    These look to be CAD prototypes or the like, if they go into production I would try one on before passing judgement. The 2 lens design might work better than the single pane, it certainly would make it easier to get glasses like lenses, wouldn't it? I do agree the straps seem overkill, but I've seen goggles leave skulls way too many times to ignorance. JT has a chin strap, the "Skull" is designed to have an over-the-head strap too. I'd prefer it as an "optional" strap, but I get the feeling that it's designed to be worn "as is".

                    Oh, and they did their homework too. "Primarily, participants want gear that looks cool, intimidating, and can be "personalized" to reflect their individuality and passion for the sport." Sounds 'bout right. Who knows? You might see one of these sooner than you think...

                      LOL, that's why they looked somewhat familiar. I kinda like em, they're different.

                      The straps are nice, too. We should have had mandatory straps awhile ago.

                        Those straps look nice, but I wonder if the lenses have any room for glasses behind them. Somehow I doubt it, but we'll see.

                          I like em. In that wierd little way of mine.

                          Looked at website a couple times over and it looks like it will actually sit a little closer to your face than goggles now. the straps will be much better on shaggy hair. IT is not fun for the back strap (even WITH a hat...) to keep slipping.

                          Anyone else believe that the pannels (fron, and sides) will be more flexible than the base frame on it? It would make some sense because why else would they have to be more than one piece if it was all ridged, would it not?


                          Now if only I can get a pair In white/smoke/black combo I'm set on those guys.

                          Hey im already the only one I've seen (other than at TeX-Ball) that uses a mag, so why not be even more different with a mask?

                          VF-XX, I think they plan on giving you the option to have the lenses AS glasses... so you don't need to wear them underneath.

                            I suspected as much as well, which makes it a harder sale to me. That means it'll cost me for the mask + at least another $100 (probably 200) for the lenses.

                            Ahh well, Wait and see. I'm doing just fine with my NVX's right now anyway.

                                I read it as they can have custom eyepieces GROUND to your prescription...

                                "Additionally, the eyepiece can be fitted with powered lenses - perfect for eyeglass wearers."
