These is a no-name product from who knows where. If you search amazon there are hundreds of similar ones selling for $15-$20 so this is no deal at all.
Also, saving a few bucks on eye protection can lead to a life of regret. Just buy from one of the legit brands during their sales event.
I've used OM pro goggles for the last 5+.
Work perfectly fine for an expert skier, for well more than 1M feet of vert last year.
If you like, you're welcome to imagine that "insert-whatever-steezy-brand-you-like" is far better - be my guest.
But IMO, no goggle lens is going to make vis markedly better than a similar VLT from OM.
Might it be slightly better? *Perhaps.*
But again, these work just fine.
Flat light is just flat light - get used to it, and ski by braille.
Take some Dramamine.
Every polycarbonate lens gives complete UV protection, so that's not an excuse either.
Spend more, if you like.
But unless you're really focused on wearing a specific logo on your head, or believe incredibly minor differences are worth an order of magnitude more $$$, then get these.
I own multiple pairs of ski goggles, from $300 name brands to mid-grades to $25 cheapies, and each pair has its purpose. I see no reason to spend $100+ for amber lenses for my I/O Mags when I can get a polarized amber lens on these cheapies for $15. Particularly since I'll only be using the ambers on a handful of foggy mornings and a maybe for a few hours of night skiing. And if these suck, I'll just return them.

also, do you guys know if these play well with a helmet?
I ordered the 10% for blue bird day/, 75% yellow for cloudy/stormy days and forgot the % but somewhere in between for partly cloudy days. I always used mostly shaded ones but recently been having trouble seeing terrain on those cloudy or snowy days with those and scared of catching a bad bump, so needed something like that 75%.
As for helmet, not sure but ymmv depending on your helmet. In my case, my helmet sits a bit too high with my current goggles where they should be and these seem like itll make it even worse but we'll see
Maybe there are advantages to name brands, but nothing in your post supports that other than price.
Same. Picked up an OTG for a glasses wearer but I wanted the other model. Holler if the code starts working again.
I bought two of the non pro editions when i first started out snowboarding, they kinda did the job, no thrills, fogged up easily. I retired these.
3-4 seasons later i picked up their pro version and coupled with prescription inserts from sportrx, amazing. No fog, magnetic lenses, inserts fit well
There are those that have to have brand new, name brand, top of the line everything - helmet, goggles, boots, jacket, pants, etc. If you are one of those, this clearly isn't for you. If you don't, these should do just fine, and if they don't, return em. That simple.

A quick google search said that polarized lenses reduce glare, which could make it difficult to distinguish snow from ice. But you tell snow from ice based on the texture, not the glare. So I call BS on that.
Hmm, that's disappointing. I'm yet to receive mine and will only be able to test them at the end of February. Mind sharing more details? Also, just to cross off the obvious - have you removed the protective cover inside?
