@ also the black polarized lens is quite dark and I find every time I go skiing. It’s pretty overcast or snowing. The yellow lens is really good at brightening things up. They also make a photochromic or transition type lens that gets darker with more sun that might be good. I’d like to test it out.
509 has the same auto mode and a fan built in. Tons of lens options. They are great. I tried the tempest, having everything built in to the frame is cool but you can’t switch out the battery and you can tell the quality isn’t as nice as 509, Oakley and Klim.
I have the Tempest goggles. I can't wear them. They're nice, but I spent extra money on a prescription insert that fits into them (offered by Tempest). The problem is that the lenses in the prescription insert do not stay fog-free like the goggle lenses... so I can't see. Instead, I just wear a pair of prescription polarized athletic sunglasses and I wear a Dual Sport motorcycle helmet with a visor in case I need more protection. Where I ride, around Lake Tahoe, powder days are few and far between so most of the time I don't need goggles.
@@robgoffroad Ah it’s tough having to wear glasses. I’ve been wearing contact lenses since I was a teenager so I could wear goggles skiing and snowmobiling.
If you are wearing glasses under your goggles you should try the 509 Aviator 2.0 ignite. They have a fan built in and that helps keep your glasses lenses from fogging.
My first 3 pairs of heated 509s were absolute JUNK. Cords rip, wires in the lenses fail, and if the battery dies they fog and freeze instantly. Oh yeah, and the battery door fell open sometimes. I just run one pair in the glovebox keeping warm and one pair on my face. Costs less than heated goggles and zero headaches. I trust KLIM way more than 509, but I don't see any differences.
I wasn’t a big fan of my older 509 X7 ignites. They didn’t fit great with my breath box and I didn’t like how long it took to turn them on compared to my Oakleys infernos. These new Klims have top notch quality foam, frame and lens. So easy to swap out for a different tint. They might be the new king (formerly the infernos). The Oakley Prizm polarized lenses are better for flat light and barely need heating due to their exceptional anti-fog coating.
@JasonCaville That's fair. With a decent lense the heat shouldn't have to work that hard anyways. I'm still wary of the power pack cord though, went through 2. I think maybe I've just reached my limit on rechargeable gadgets and that's influencing my opinion! Appreciate the video either way.

Very helpful review. Thanks for posting.
@@jeremyrimmer9247 No problem! Thanks for watching 👍
@ I’d like to use the goggles for skiing. Do you think they’d work as well for skiing as they do for power sports?
@ Yes they’d be great for skiing. I use my Oakley heated goggles all the time for skiing but always wished they had a nose guard like the Klim’s do.

@@JasonCaville great. Thanks for the suggestion on the photo chromatic lens option.

Good info, thanks 👍
The battery fell out of my 509’s really easy. I’m zip tying it now.
I really like my tempest goggles

@@JasonCaville It's a mild prescription so contacts aren't really an option. I only use it for riding/driving/movies.
Tempest doesn’t have the wire hanging off the side like these to be ripped off from a tree branch. The tempest are also a lot cheaper and lighter.
I haven’t tried the Tempest yet but I’ll definitely have to look into them.
Can you wear them with glasses?
If you are wearing glasses under your goggles you should try the 509 Aviator 2.0 ignite. They have a fan built in and that helps keep your glasses lenses from fogging.
The Klim efire have Over The Glasses (OTG) compatible frame cutouts
Wearing glasses, the heated goggles are the only way to go.

They don’t even compare to the Tempest!
The Tempest sound like they work very well!
$300? Hands down, no thanks.
It's all about what you're looking for. There are other options out there.
