Hey there,
I'm a rep for HaberVision and can give you a few recomendations or feel free to call me:

Right now the Highline Eliminator Combo is on sale. The Highline is a spherical lenses. Basically it has a little more curve in it, which is mostly for looks. The Highline and the Prima are the exact same frame but the Prima has a Cylinderical lenses, slightly flatter, again for looks. The combo is $109 right now.
Both the Highline and the Prima (and Riva) are a Polarized goggle. The Vermillion lenses is a great all around lenses. Get it with no flash (mirror coating) for better low light conditions or get the flash if it will be used in brighter light. Honestly either will work in bright or low light conditions but the flash does remove approximately 8% more light from entering the eyes.
The Prima Eliminator combo is $119 right now. You can get this frame with the Optic Orange lenses which is what I prefer. It is completely personal preference on if you like and Orange base lense or a Vermillion (rose) based lenses. (edit, our Optic Orange is on back-order right now, it should be here December 27th or sooner).
I would order up the Highline Combo and take it from there. If you don't like it, contact me and I will get them swapped out for you to another model or lenses. I am pretty sure you will like them.
The Riva Goggle is 10mm narrower than the Prima or Highline. It fits a smaller face better. It is available with optic orange or Vermillion. I have honestly wore this goggle with no issues, I wear a large helmet.
I only recommend the Ouzo if you must ride with glasses and your eye-glasses are larger. The newer eye-glasses are small enough that they fit the Prima and Highline with zero issues usually. I also recommend the Ouzo if you are a HUGE guy. I had a guy that was like 6'5" 300+ lbs, with a monster skull on him and they fit him like a champ, where other goggles were too small. The Ouzo is our largest goggle, but because of that helmet fitment can be an issue.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
I will say I really like the Faro on low light days. non-polarized but a great deal at $40! ($89 in an Eliminator Combo)
I have the Highline with the "rose" colored polarized lense. I also use an Eliminator in the google. This setup works for about 95% of my riding. Only when it is so overcast that it seems dark, do I have to bust out low light lense googles. $109 for that combo (with Eliminator) is a sweet deal. Got mine from MilleHighAssasin.
I got a couple questions for you the first of which is how difficult is it to switch out the lenses(meaning could it be done whilst riding if it fogs over/have different light conditions)
and if you could only have 2 goggles and needed them for any light conditions what lenses would you get?

So are they available in RX ?
When i called the lady acted like it wasn't worth their time..maybe i called on the wrong day?

Have a set of ouzo's with the elimator fan and they work great for me.

I can't be the only one who thinks these goggles look as if they are at least ten years behind in design (with regard to cosmetics).
That's funny you mention that. When I was at the SLC show I talked to a couple professionals in the biz and we were talking about how people were buying image over functionality.
The Boondocker crew are riding with Haber goggles now.
Why handicap yourself from the start, its not as if any of the functionality has to be designed out of the product to make it attractive.
You can swap out lenses. I don't do it while riding with ANY brand. Only because while riding there is a good chance you will introduce moisture, snow, etc to the inside of the goggle while swapping out lenses.
I usually ride 90% of the time with the optic orange and the rainbow/blue flash lenses. I don't hangs much. In the spring I ride the highline goggle with vermilion lenses and gold flash.
If it is super dark, cloudy, riding in clouds i use the Faro goggle with the non polarized vermilion lenses.
We have noted that people want a nose guard and are doing what we can. We love getting any kind of feedback so we can work on improving our product

Sorry about that. Do you know who you talked to?
We do not have Rx goggles but we make an optical insert. The advantage to the optical insert is that it can be taken from one goggle and put in another. With an Rx goggle/lenses you are stuck with that one lenses color. If you damage lenses you are out your investment.
Sorry I am replying from my phone right now or I would give you a link. I ride with the optical insert and a couple of the boondockers crew are using one as well.
Feel free to call me with any other questions.

Hi Powderpatrol
The goggles per say are not available with a prescription lens but you can fit the optical inserts with prescription lenses.
Here is a link to a post I did about the HaberVision optical inserts with pics:

Hi Polaris dude
You can change the lenses while riding if you want.
Haber only has 2 lens colors other than clear. Optical orange with a blue flash which we recommend for both bright light and low light days. This is what both myself and my husband ride with all the time. The other color is vermillion which we recommend for high contrast on low light days. The vermillion comes both with a gun flash and with out. The "flash" is the coating on the outside that gives it the mirror finish. The gun flash on a vermillion lens does darken it up. Some people don't like that so they will choose a vermillion with no flash. The other nice thing about the vermillion lens is that it will not stain the rhodopsin which is a pigment in the back of your eye thereby preserving your night vision.

I agree, but I don't feel handicapped if my goggles aren't "cool".
thanks for answers! It'd be interesting if there was a poll of which colors people like best, since it seems like everyone prefers something different it seems like
What one person likes another person might hate.
While certain colors work better for certain conditions there is still personal preference.
Take gray for instance, that is a horrible color for snow, you lose definition.
LOL
