Fantastic product. Great time out on the slopes with them
I'm going to try to be as objective as possible, but after spending two days out in the best conditions we've had all year, it's hard to separate the overall experience from the goggles themselves. They are related, since I'm still smiling about the great long ski days I had with them.First off, this product is one I wanted to like.-It's a US company,-they donate some of their profits to environmental preservation,-the product has interchangeable lenses with side clasps to ensure they don't pop out accidentally,-they even have a plastic mesh over the top vents to protect the foam barrier from wear and tear.-they're not $150-$200 like the big name brandsI bought Blaze Blue roca goggles and wanted a low light alternative to go with them. I grabbed the amber, and just recently also ordered the clear ones as well. Changing out the lenses is pretty easy, but I did it before I got on my skis. I didn't try to do it on a ski lift as some have mentioned. I don't mess with my gear on chairs though as a general rule.My fist time out with these goggles was a very cold, snowy, dark day. It wasn't big fluffy flakes, not at first, but cold, wet sleet that hit like needles and was relentless. I was out for about 7 hours totally with a few breaks, but the goggles never fogged and the exterior stayed clear, even as wet snow-ice mix accumulated on the top of the plastic mesh vent. I could see very clearly using the amber lenses, and as day turned to night, they highlighted the ground well under the lights. I don't think that lens was the best for such dark conditions, but it still served its purpose well. I never struggled to see, and things were highlighted well.One thing about the amber lens is that it is mirrored as others have noted. It's not like flat low light lenses where your eyes can be seen through it. This does make it feel a little lower in VLT than the 55% listed here on amazon would imply. The low light yellow by comparison does not seem mirrored and is listed as 54%, so it should be dimmer than the amber, but I've seen Wildhorn recommend the yellow for low light/night skiing as the best option. I don't like seeing things in yellow though :) I personally prefer that if I have to have a tint, it be a sharp blue one. Failing that option, I ordered clear ones as well, but they arrived after my weekend was over.The next day was bitter cold, low teens, but clear and sunny. I put in the blue blaze lens. When you look through this lens indoors, it looks very dim and VERY copper/amber, which is not what the images imply above (the amazon image from the inside shows a blueish tint). I didn't like this at first, but out in the bright sunlight it's much less of an issue. What little tint remained wasn't annoying. It just gave the scene a faintly sepia tone, while still keeping things crystal clear and sharp. It won me over by the end of the day, because it didn't detract one bit from the beauty of the day or my skiing experience.Throughout both days, air flow was fantastic, keeping my eyes clear and well ventilated, but also protected from the worst of the cold. They fit comfortably. Not too snug, and the material that presses against your face is soft and comfortable, without any of that irritating sensation you sometimes get where you feel the need to adjust repeatedly. I did have some issues at first with how narrow the nose groove is. I have a deviated septum and at first I had to wear the goggles high to keep them from pinching my sinuses. However after a few hours they broke in and I could wear them comfortably without any discomfort or trouble breathing.Last thing to mention is customer service. Wildhorn is very responsive. The pair I ordered here on Amazon was shipped to me in a cardboard box too small for them. Someone in shipping crammed them in anyway and tried to tape it sealed. the result was that the goggles arrived with crushed padding along the outer edges. I wasn't sure if this was by design, but a quick chat with Wildhorn customer support and they sent me a replacement pair directly with their apologies. Great customer service! But in the future, Wildhorn may want to consider their own hard packaging, rather than just the plastic and cloth soft bags they currently come in.

Great quality at a great price
They were as advertised. They fit well and were comfortable. No issues with fogging up and helped maintain a clear vision in snow and cloudiness on the first day, and morning clouds to full sun on the second day. Plus, I liked the style.

Stylish, Effective, Efficient, No Fogging, Superb Pricing!
Purchased these "Magnetic" googles and a couple different replacement lenses for my wife as I love the convenience of my Anon M2 magnetic googles that cost almost 10x's more. Frames and lenses seemed high quality and well constructed. Unlike my Anon M2's, these Wildhorn Roca googles feature a pair of quick release, safety snaps on frame left and right that prevent the lens from detaching during any potential, unplanned cartwheeling antics. I've lost the lens off of my Anon M2's during a couple of Tomahawk maneuvers to the laughter and cheers of my bud's watching in jest. One could say that after 30 years of snowboarding, coaching and judging freestyle events, I should know how to ride by now...but anyway, the lens on these Wildhorn Roca goggles have been highly scratch resistant so far, very clear and concise vision, a mere 3 seconds to swap out lens colors and a fraction of the cost of name brand googles. More importantly, the Wildhorn Roca googles did not fog up on my wife despite being both masked up with a neck warmer over her mask (Covid-19 protocol), while my very much more expensive google lens required the miserable, constant wiping off of fog and moisture. NOTE: The polarity of the magnets are the opposite of the Anon M2 goggles so attaching the Anon magnetic facemasks to the bottom of the Wildhorn Roca googles will not work. I'm so impressed with the value of these googles that I'm ordering a pair of adult sized Wildhorn's for myself!

Comfortable and fits a small head!
Really well priced, sturdy, comfortable and fits my weirdly small adult head! I like how durable they are and they look great as well.

Awesome Goggles.
These goggles are fantastic, especially given their price point! The strong magnets provide a secure fit, so you won’t have to worry about losing the lenses accidentally. I also appreciate the range of lens options available for various lighting conditions, which is perfect for my night boarding sessions. My only minor gripe is that they sit a bit high on my face and sometimes bump into my helmet, but this might just be due to the shape of my head and the type of helmet I use. Overall, a great buy!

Great Value, nice look
I've always owned Smith goggles and decided to give these a go. They look great and the price point was right. Out of the box they are packaged well. I think it would be better if they came in a box as opposed to a bag, but that isn't a huge deal as they were not damaged in shipping. The strap is really nice (would like to see a version where you can swap out the strap with a different color if you wanted, my Smiths do this and it is a nice touch). The aspect that really shines on these is the ability to quickly switch out the lenses depending on the light conditions you are riding in. I had a pair of sunglasses that had the same concept and I used it all the time and I would frankly rather have this that the ability to change the strap. They are easy to swap and you can tell they will stay in place even after rolling down the mountain, I will surly spend some time rolling down the mountain later this season I'm sure...They are comfortable and fit my fat head well. The strap is easy to adjust and the full face lens looks awesome. The overall build quality is as good as my Smiths. I usually ride with Polarized Lenses, but I think these will do well on bright riding days. I haven't checked Wildhorn's website to see if they have a polarized option, but I'm hoping they add it eventually. Nicely made product!

Good Value, good quality
I bought the Wildhorn Outfitters ski goggles and find them very good in all advertised aspects. Very good value for the buck. I also ordered the yellow (fog) lens extra for less sunny days. The only thing I notice is that after a long day under sunny skies or multiple days I get some minor eye strain in the evening that I didn't get with an expensive goggle I once owned. Maybe the protective coating (UV400 and so on) quality is not as high as with more expensive brands. But in summary, a good buy that meets expectations.

The best choice, pro qaulity and great price.
Best choice! I've bought these goggles after I met a friend of mine for ski in Alps which had them. They are just great with easy lens change (it has ease clips and magnets). I usually just use polarized sunglasses or a goggles with these sunglasses under as I full sun and white snow make it hard for my eyes. Finally I was able to switch to goggles with the lens of 8% and it's just great and comfortable. It's high quality, like a pro with very good price. I recommend them!
