Hearing mixed reviews about 509 goggles...

[mazak500]

Just bought klim f4 helmet. I got last years anniversary one for 269. Good deal I thought. Anyway. Some people are saying that 509 goggles fit well with it and some are saying they don't. I know I've read on here that people use 509.
What's ur thoughts??

I have the 509 goggles with my F4 helmet and the combination works great for me!

Depends on which goggle. At the Novi show I had talked to the 509 guys and he basically said Sinister is the best fit, the Aviator would also fit but F4 and Sinister are just a good match. Also, he said if you are planning to ever use the Anti Fog module, you want the Sinister as the Aviators with the Anti-fog won't really work. I went to the show with full intentions of going with the Aviators, after trying both, I really couldn't tell a huge or really much difference in range of view. So Sinister is was. Compared to the Scott's I have now the field of view is 100% better. The Scott's are like wearing shooting glasses with the side covers compared to the 509's. I have not rode with the 509's yet, but hope to find out over the holiday's. Also the 509 Sinister has a hinge on the strap where it connects to the goggle, this allows the goggle to set in the helmet without fighting the strap.

I have the Aviator goggles and wear them with the F4 helmet. I have to admit that they don't fit as well as I would like. My biggest complaint is that when the goggles fit tight to the top of the opening in the helmet, it puts the bottom goggle foam (if that makes sense) right at the bottom of my eyes instead of down on my cheeks. Very annoying. I have tried several fixes to put something in between the top of the goggles and the helmet, but nothing has worked yet. I really love the goggles otherwise, but as 509 says, they are designed to fit with their helmet specifically. Seriously considered getting one at the snow show this year, but couldn't bring myself to do it as the Klim is only a year old and I love it for dirt riding during the summer. Might end up just going back to my Scotts. Less visibility, but more comfortable.

I just bought the 509's and f4 at the novi show. They work great and my face stays warm unless it's real windy! One thing is my HID's look like stock headlights with the goggles on(just the plain color that comes with the 509s). That's my only complaint which takes nothing away from the goggles.

I have the Sinister goggles and for some reason I get a lot of wind in my eyes.

I just went to my local shop and tried on some goggles. they did not have 509 so i didnt get a chance to see how they are.
I ended up buying Scott goggles. The model is voltage pro air... They fit really good.
I will have more input once i try them out friday morning
