2009 Sinister Goggles - 509...how do you rate them?

[Chern_889]

Ive worn my one pair of 509 Sinisters for two years inside of my klim F4 and i love them! They fit great in the helmet with the nose cone on, and ive only had them fog once on me, this year in cooke with wet heavy snowing, sweating my bag off. Switched out to a diff lense and i was good for the rest of the day! Looking forward to trying the aviators for next year!

Best goggles I have ever owned.

I like 'em. Fog when you stop but others did too. Use the quick straps so I always take them off when stopped. Like the nose piece for branches and the cold ride down. Comfortable.

Really like the Black Ops version.

Felt a little heavy on the bridge of my nose....but after a bit of riding it seated nicely to my face and worked great!

I agree, mine seem quite nice. I did have to mod my helmet a little as the top vents sealed tightly against it and if fogged constantly. After that mod I have had much better luck.

I have the 09 goggles with smoke polarized lens, these are the best goggles for our sport. Great customer service, I lost the little plastic vent plug, contacted the company and they replaced the entire goggle with no questions. After installing the fan this year I have had only one opportunity to ride, there were no problems with fogging. Great company do do business with.

I have both the Sinisters and Aviators...

I really like the helmet to goggle interface... they fit better in the helmets than other brands that I've used (Scott, Smith, Oakley, Bolle, SPY, and many more).

I'm a "sweat head" and fog goggles easily...These fit the bill... I have easy to interchange lens' with many different tints.... The band is long enough to fit over the helmet without being stretched too far PLUS the non slip silicone grip material inside the band....

There was a lot of thought put into these goggles by someone that is really IN the sledding community and not in an office in southern california.

LUVIN the 509 stuff!!

Have two pair of sinister, one polarized brown and one polarized smoke. One was peeling at the top by the vent and I just cracked the other trying to install it. Called Tom today and he is shipping me two new lenses.

Now THAT is customer service folks!

How are you guys packing your spare lenses? I'd like to have a hard case for them

I use the 509 hard case and carry in my pack.

It would be sweet if 509 made a little foam insert for the hard case to carry 3-4 different lens.

That way it could be used as a lens case or spare goggle case.

That's what I'm talkin about!

We are sold out of our hard cases for the season. However we are developing two new goggle cases. One that will hold 1 goggle plus lenses. And one that will hold up to 4 goggles and many accessories. These will be released next season.

I would like to see a hard case that will hold up to 4 lenses and fit in my back pack. When not in use my goggles go in their soft case and are put inside my helmet.


and by the way I love my new helmet and goggles!!!!!!!!

Still working on it...no ETA at this point.

 

[jhurkot]

i had a klim f4 helmet and the aviators and had some serious fogging issues. at first i thought it was the goggles but i removed the nose piece from them and the breath deflector that is in the helmet and they are awesome!

 

[shortstop20]

Are lenses still available for the original Sinisters?

One pair has a crack in the lense and on the other pair, the lenses are scratched up pretty good.

I've had these goggles since their release, no complaints.

 

[Dogmeat]

They're a goggle. They fog.

What is nice about them is the lens colors they offer are second-to-none and are a lot better for my eyes than any other goggle I've ever tried.
