I've used the scott's with the thermal guard, work well. I have never tried self shading lens but I would like to.

I use the Pro-Grip brand with the light sensitive lens. they seem to work great for me, but I have not used them in temps below 5* F so can not honestly say how good they would work colder than that. But I never got cold and they never fogged even when I was boondocking last year and working up quite a sweat. The light sensitive lens worked great when in the thick pines and it was shaded they lightened up and when we got out of the woods and into the sun they darkened up and provided me with the perfect lighting. I have very sensitive eyes to light so I use these googles, and when it gets below 5* I usually just put on my Bombardier modular with the sunscreen. I also had no problems with the goggles at night and I will try wearing them this year in colder temps, as I really like the extra vision that a motorcross helmet and googles give you. Gene

I can't make any claims on whats best. I've only used SPY's and have no complaints. I like the sales pitch on the 509 web site though.

I didn't like the quick strap. I thought I cleaned the helmet well-enough, but the pin would peel off with the goggle. I've heard good things about the SPY goggles.

Ran with Quick Straps for a couple years & went back to the strap. Problem I had was I would let the gogs hang from my helmet when stopped. If it was cold I would get them to frost up when we started riding again. Better seal from the one single strap when powder riding but every head & helmet are different. My Scotts, Oakleys, Pro-Grip & Smiths all work well, I carry a clear pair & a L/S pair for the days changing conditions.

Just picked up a pair of sweet SPY goggles for this winter. With the quick strap. What I reccomend is bringing the reg. strap with you...just in case the quick strap freezes up and the velcro doesn't work.

Trim the end of the Q/S that goes on the stud, Just a little off each knob will stop you from ripping the stud from your helmet. If you do rip the stud off the helmet as I did, You can warm up the adhesive backing on the exhaust & get it to stick to the helmet again in a pinch.

I have the best luck putting the goggles inside my coat when we stop. Nice warm & dry w/no fogging.
