When available, I'll take the snow camo with the yellow lens. I already have the Eliminator fan so it should be a great setup.

 

[milehighassassin]

Yes, the Eliminator will fit fine in this goggle. Thicker foam with sweat band, rubber coated strap, removable nose guard and the same HaberVision Optics.

 

[milehighassassin]

Should be available to order soon. Saw them in person the other day. Good looking goggles with the changes you wanted.

Speaking of optics, how are they in this goggle? What is the technology used to give a clear view through the lens. I am a nut about sports vision and also pay a lot for sunglasses, protective lenses, great binoculars, rifle scopes etc. Look through some goggles and the view is just crap.

The easy way to check polarization on goggles is to take two polarized lens and place them together and look through them, there should be no obstruction of vision. Then take the lens and rotate one so they end up around 90 degrees apart. If the lens are well polarized you should be able to see very little if anything through them. Most optometrists can also check for polarization as well.

Spot on. And if you check the polarization of Haber's, there is little change if any...

Not just polarization, the optical clarity is what I was really asking about.

If they are polycarbonate, the optical quality will be low compared to high quality sunglasses.

 

[milehighassassin]

You won't find better optical quality. Steve Haber has been in the optics industry for over 35 years. He originally founded Bolle in 1981. First and foremost Habervision has always been an optics company. They were one of the first companies to offer polarization. Steve brought Bolle public and left the industry for a bit. While consulting he tried to convince several sunglasses companies to offer polarization. At the time no one wanted to so he started Habervision.

Simply a false statement. I'd say 95% of our products are polarized. We do offer one goggle and a few sunglasses that are not polarized. These are offered as competition for lower priced products.

Our optical quality is second to no one. Like I said earlier. First and foremost Habervision is an optics company. We also guarantee the optical quality, fit, look, etc.

If you buy a product and don't like it we will return or exchange it.

Habervision doesn't use polycarbonate. They use polyurethane which is 3 times stronger than polycarbonate, thinner and lighter.

Habervision also offer GLASS lenses on sunglasses which gives you better optics and clarity than anything else. Downside to glass is that it is not as impact resistant. It's not recommended where an impact can take place; mountain biking, softball, etc. Fine for golf, fishing, hunting, day to day use.

All of our optics are 6 or 8 base optically correct. Meaning no distortion from a curved lens (think fish bowl)

I am not going to get into details, but I am in the optical industry (manufacture polarized lenses among other lenses) and have tested my Haber's with some of our polarization equipment. And I was in contact with Haber because I thought I had a faulty set of goggles. They sent out another pair, I tested again, same results.

Test for yourself, find some high quality polarized sunglasses, hold one pair horizontal, and the second vertical, if they are truely polarized, they will cancel out the light.

Try that with "polarized" Haber goggles and you will see that the color will slightly change, and not cancel out light, thus meaning that they are not a true polarized goggle. Granted, Haber could have changed suppliers or improved their processes from last winter when I discovered that my three sets of Haber goggles were not truely polarized.

Do not take this as a bash on Haber goggles, I have three pair and I do feel they are a good goggle.

The last few years our goggles have been made in Japan which has some of the best optics in the world (camera lenses). I know what you mean by testing the optics for polarization. I've demonstrate that test method at several shows to demonstrate the polarization. Never had and issue.

What goggles do you have and when did you buy them? Curious if there was a bad supply. I have not had any problems, but my customers represent a small portion of the overall sales.

I have two pairs of Riva's and one pair of Prima's. The Prima's are a few years old and the two pairs of Riva's I purchased last year. All three have the same issues...

I have told milehigh several times that I think Haber has the hands down best optics in goggles for snowmobiling. They just don't make them look "cool" like other brands. The nose piece and yellow lens were two upgrades that they had to have to be in the snowmobile world. There are a lot of options out there but check out a pair. For the price I think they kill the other options. I have 509, Oakley, Smith, Dragon and others. If I was still 20 I would probably opt for style over function but I'd like to think I got a little smarter than that.
