Electric EG1 goggles review
I’ve had a pair of Electric EG1’s since February, and more recently 2 pairs, but only wore them for the first time recently in Cervinia and Zermatt.
Here’s the review:
Having suffered in the past with sunglasses and goggles steaming up, I was desperate to get a pair of goggles that wouldn’t give me any of that kind of jip. I spent a fair bit of time reading reviews and getting opinions in forums. The general vibe was that the EG1’s have been around for a fair while, were tried and tested my many and would do the job. Key points that helped me make my decision:
1. Classic goggle - the design has been around for a while and they’re well tried and tested
2. Read people on forums saying they have them and they don’t fog up
3. Some pairs come with 2 lenses for different light conditions as standard
4. I got them at a significantly discounted rate thanks to ebay and bargainboards.co.uk
5. Helmet compatable
They didn’t disappoint. I enjoyed two whole days without having them steam up once or having to switch to my shades. I have never had this before with any other goggles. Maybe I’ve been unlucky in the past, but I can’t say what a bonus this was. Riding blind just aint fun.
When doing my research, I came up with a few alternative options:
Spy Soldier - I almost got these for a few reasons:
1. They come in orange (amongst other colours)
2. bargainboards.co.uk had some for about £60, usually £100ish
3. The reviews I read were very positive.
Also Oakley A Frame
They look a bit weird but are supposed to be one of the best anti fog goggles. The US olympic team all seemed to use them. Expensive at RRP, but there was a guy selling them for £50 at the Ski and Snowboard show.
