Ive recently finally got a full face helmet (giro remedy), though i really should have had one for along time now 
I now need some goggles, any recomendations?
These seem to get good reviews on CRC

I prefer Spy but also have a pair of Oakleys. Both were really good, although the Oakleys are prone to misting up more. Just go for non-mist lenses and rubber grips on the inside of the band. Although you probably want a big pair as those Remedy lids are pretty open! |

They hold the goggles well though! Good lid.
Reckon they're excellent for the price. Have often wondered about fox goggles?

I've got a Giro Remedy and Oakley O Frames.
Fit between the helmet and goggles is good.
Goggles are excellent and lenses are cheap with a huge variety to choose from.
Maybe go for the Crowbar's if you have the spare cash. I have them for snowboarding and they are the best goggles I've ever had (and I've had a few).
Hope this helps. |

I agree with all of that, O frames work great with Remedy and like a new clear lens cost me like £2.50. |
