    Don't know much, but I believe they make cycling specific goggles for downhill/FR, vs. ski-style goggles. See, I told you I didn't know much.

    they make many sunglasses and a good few single lens MX/cycle goggles, but the also have two models of double lens snow goggles. that's about all i know about them, i am hoping some one has used them or least knows if they are of good quality

    They're pretty good quality, could compare em to something like Smith in the old days. Plus, the pink design just plain rocks! You've got to dig the giant UTOPIA on the lenses though..

    I love them. (See my avatar). Personally - I've had fantastic luck with them not getting scratched up - even mirrored lenses for moto riding - they get filthy, I wipe them off, they still are in damn near perfect condition after over a year's use skiing and riding.

    And for me, they're the best anti-fog I've ever had as well. They fit my helmets well (perfectly designed to match with TLD helmets) and I can wear them skiing with my hood up over my helmet and a neck gaiter up over my nose and not fog. I've never had any other goggles not fog in that situation.

    Mr.AG manages to scratch them up (by apparently throwing them at the bottom of his bag or on the floor of his truck) and sweats like you would not believe while skiing and still gets fogged while using the Smith goggles with the fan built in. For me, they're fog-proof.

    I have 3 pairs of too dirty (all pink, half pink/half black/all black) and one camo slayer. The ones in my avatar are the too-dirty. Admittedly, they sponsor me, but I bought a bunch of them because I'm so happy with how well they work and fit.

    Here's the Pink w/mirrored lens. They do have "Utopia" written on the lens, but I can't see it when I'm wearing them.

    Thumbs up Those goggles Rock

    I dont own a pair. But i have borrowed/used them before and know people who do. I used the mx models, which are the same frame design as the snow models, as well as the same name, and even after i would eat shit and get dirt all over them, they were perfect and good to use. scratch resistance, as said before, is quite exceptional. They have nice thick foam to take all that sweat, which I absolutely love and wish more goggle companies would pick up on. Where it says Utopia on the lense looks sick. BUT, you have to like the old style frame size and style, which i do, and the large-wide-faced fit. They are kinda old school style, besides colors, but have a great fit. (well for my face anyway) I hope this helped any.

    AG: Do you ever use your TLD helmet on snow? They are so nice I think I might pick one up, eventually. (they are damn expensive.)
