There is so much guff talked about goggle brands it's ridiculous, here's my take; buy the ones that it your face/helmet the best, with styling you like, and spend as much as you can afford, the brand doesn't matter because they are all, essentially, the same. The more cash you splash the better the build quality and styling. No particular brand is better/worse than another for anti-fog, flat light etc.
FYI I use Smith because I like the styling and they fit me very well. I'm seriously looking at getting some (seriously expensive) POC gegs next season, but this is based 100% on vanity.

Dr John, exactly right. I'm trying to work out if it's vanity or helmet compatibility which means I wear POC

Went from Decathlon ones which I was happy with, to Anon's helix which I am very very happy with.
Much better fit to face and helmet, which as Dr John says is essential.
They were £45 in teh sale last year with an extra lense..

FYI, i was in EB at the weekend and enquired about replacement lenses for my Adidas Yodais. They no longer stock Adidas so they are selling all remaining stock for low prices. You can get a brand new pair of Yodai with the LST Trail Silver lens for £30!

I use Oakley Crowbar as they fit my Salomon helmet the best.
Like POC and other top brands, they are curved vertically as well as horizontally and are optically perfect. Misting is a thing of the past.

I've had both Yodai's and the previous Robins
the Yodais are about 5 seasons old and still going strong, the LST Trail Silver lens is really versatile
got an orange lens for the Yodias but never needed to use it
for £30 id grab them quick

Oakley A frame suits me and fits my Giro G10 well.
Lenses are easy to swap around and plenty to choose from.

It depends how much you want to spend. Uvex FX Pro goggles are good.

Yes they will, you can't beat physics. They probably won't when wearing a helmet, granted, but all it takes is something obstructing the upper vents (a hat, ferinstance) for any goggle to mist up.
