    Sport goggle - rxable recommendation

    Hi all!
    Looking for recommendations for sport goggles/safety eyewear. We had been ordering through Hilco, but I am frustrated with back-orders and ordering through e-dr.

    I am specifically looking for something that would be for mountain biking. Perhaps with the interchangeable inserts for different tints.

    thanks Fezz. yes, I will definitely look at each of these individually, but in terms of value... which do you prefer? Not looking for high end, more medium.

    I'd put a NIX on Liberty. They will sell their frames to WM and WM will sell them for less than Liberty will charge you. And you will lose.
    Capri has a few that are oK.

    Pro-gear is the ONLY way to go! It's all we carry, they hold up well, and kids love the fit, as well as the colors.



    (Disclaimer: I have no financial interest in this company, except for the fact that I have more than 60 of their frames in stock)

    Why not order direct from Hilco? I have not experienced a backorder issue with them in well over a year. Liberty on the other hand...I dumped them totally about a year ago because...well, lensman said it far better than I could without the use of expletives...

    I think the sport goggle that I am looking for from Hilco is discontinued. And for some reason it took 2 weeks to figure this out (b/c i order through e-dr). The sport goggle that I wanted has the rx insert, and the interchangeable tint lenses.

    Thanks for the suggestions!
