Haber Baccarat goggles

Anyone have any experience with these ? I use a pair of their traditional goggles, but am intrigued by their new Baccarat magnetic lens offering. Similar to Anon at a much lower price point.

Not going to lie, Haber is not a brand that is generally on my radar, but those look pretty sweet.

Mine just came today! I will try tomorrow in single digit temps.

Dave,

I'm particularly interested in how the low light lens performs. At a VLT of 31, it's not as high as the Red Sensor or Blue Sensor ratings for low light from Smith. They have VLTs of about 55. Let us know how you like the Baccarats.

Thanks.

Fred, it was a sunny day so I couldn't try the low light lens. This is a great goggle for the $99 price. Plus it never fogged up at the negative 3 degree temp. I took the below pic when I got home. The rubberized texture on the inner band keeps the goggles in place on the helmet.

Dave,

Sounds like a good product. Did you try a lens swap on the fly, to see how easy it was ? The price certainly is attractive. I've been a Haber fan for a few years, with sunglasses and goggles. Thanks for the beta test. Maybe you'll get an overcast day to try the low light lens. Today in VT it was overcast...by virtue of monsoon rains. So no skiing for me.

Super easy to swap the lens. Takes about 2 seconds.

Sorry you are having such lousy weather. It was bitterly cold here in the Midwest this weekend.

So, no visibility issues in flat light Dave ? Sounds encouraging.

Any worry about the lens popping of and getting broken/lost in a crash?

No. Works great for me!

No - the magnet really grips.
