Used them yesterday for the first time, snowing like crazy (yahoo) and they worked great. Thanks Tom and the 509 crew, very good product.

I have a question for you guys - I am having trouble getting the goggles to fit snug enough/seal around my face and am feeling some exposed spots. I have tightened the straps much more than any other google, it helps a little. The vision, no fog, etc seem to be great, but seal and coverage are troublesome right now.

Mine seened to fit fine, I didn't have my quick strap on them yet, but that shouldn't make a difference. We were going 30 40 down traill in thick snow no problem at all.

I'm trying to find a way to put quick straps on as well, I don't see how it will be done without cutting the straps.
I agree, they have to be the best goggles I've used this far. Great fit, no problems fogging, and lets not forget they do look good

for you 509. Thanks

I ordered mine with quick straps.
You can cut the straps and then weave the open end of the strap into your existing QS hardware. Or we sell QS compatible short straps. These come in a pair, include our hinge system, are cut to length, and are professionally sewn on the open end. Again, just take the open end of these and weave them into your existing QS hardware. Both ways work 100% as well as traditional QS straps. If you need a set of short straps, PM me. They run $15.
PM me, details on where they air leaks are, helmet you are using, other accessories you are using and I'll figure out what the issue is.
I've had that problem with mine in combination with the Klim F4 helmet.
I've been on a few rides with them now, and if I mess with my face mask a whole lot and pull it up as far as I can around my face, the goggles are usable with the helmet, but as far as just putting them on and going without doing that, I get enough wind on my cheeks and forehead I have to stop and do it anwyays so I don't freeze...
As far as the goggles go, they're great....visibility is excellent, no fog, the chrome-tint lens is _PERFECT_, but the goggle frame itself just has too small of footprint to cover my face with the helmet i use
Maybe they'll release a new version of the goggles next year that have a bigger footprint.....(hope so anyways) ...
The Kllim helmet, is a bit of a odd circumstance. I've read numerous posts around the net of people having problems with Klim helmets and a variety of goggle brands. I'll have to get my hands on one and see first hand what the issue is. Seems their new design doesn't jive well with most goggles on the market.
