Klim Radius Goggles why buy them?

Sled Solutions · Nov 12, 2012

So many probably know about the new goggle but there are some things you may not know.

I will cover the key points and not get too wordy, if anyone has questions just ask.

1. Peripheral vision has been increased greatly with these goggles. Large enough to wear glasses under.

2. Lens durability is next to none, during the testing process Klim took steel wool to the lenses. Applying light pressure to the lenses for a set time the goggles showed no signs of damage. After handling these at the shows and cleaning them of finger prints they looked like new and concur they are very durable.

3. Anti -Fog, heard it before I'm sure but Klim teamed up with the U.S. Military on these. They applied the same AF film to the inside of the goggles as our troops use in combat. A Klim rep and good friend told me after he got his pair he sat in his hot tube with brand X. After a minute brand X fogged he then put the Klim Radius goggles on and sat for an hour. After an hour he removed them as he got tired of wearing them........they never fogged. With all that said ANY goggle will fog if you get moisture on the inside of the goggle so it's important to take great care when out riding.

Options:

3 Frame colors are available this year.

Lens Tint: Yellow or Blue
Frame color options: Black (note: pictures show Carbon Fiber on these but they are just a black frames) or Mountain
Price: $109.99

Lens Tint: Silver Mirror Smoked Clear or Smoke Gold Mirror
Frame color options: Carbon Fiber or Mountain
Price: $129.99

Lens Tint: Smoked Polarized
Frame color options: Carbon Fiber or Mountain
Price: $159.99

I have yet to use these riding BUT I have looked through all of them. This is what I've found.

Yellow - The most yellow lens I've ever seen, these will turn the cloudiest day into a full blown beach day.

Blue - Very mild and crisp, I really like these.

Polarized - Hard to say yet as I haven't wore them outside on a sunny day.

Silver Mirror/Clear - Just that, a lightly tinted mirrored view.

Gold Mirror Smoked - Much like the Silver Clear with a gold mirror.

So far we've tested these goggles in the 509, Klim (obviously) and Fly helmets for fitment and all fit perfect.

All goggles come with a hard case, clothe cleaning bag and Klim quality.

We have all of these goggles in stock except Polarized which will be in by the end of the week.

rode with them for the first time on sat,:face-icon-small-fronot happy with the results,going to give them another try before i expound on my review,love my klim gear just hopping it was a fluke thing.they may be over playing the fogging thing just abit,we will see.

We saw the same issue with one in our group yesterday.

I love my Klim gear and the new goggles are cool but the claim of zero fog is a bold one. Some guys just sweat a lot and the help of air conditioning wouldn't change that. Hopefully the Klim goggles will be awesome!

two friends rode with them saturday. they both were having fogging problems with them. they said the jury is still out on them but may try them again. could have been a fit problem,weather was really wet.don,t mean to bag on them i have a lot of klim gear and love it.

Sled Solutions · Nov 13, 2012

I'm curious as to what helmets the guys that had problems were wearing??

Dabull · Nov 13, 2012

lol,i had a feeling that question was going to come up,if your going to make googles they should fit all helmets,not just one.:face-icon-small-win that aside not giving up yet,will give them another shot before i give up on them,love the workmanship and quality of the googles,just never had a google fog up so quick,and so often. if its the helmet so be it the googles are fine and wont work for me.

My helmet is a medium troy lee and i seriously couldnt be more dissapointed in those goggles.. they were fogging within the first 10 minutes of riding. I called klim to try and work something out with them and they werent willing do anything except try and warranty them to try and diagnose a problem. The only problem is that they fog! Im pretty upset with the whole thing. In fact if anybody wants them pm me!

JedInUtah · Nov 13, 2012

Are any of you that are fogging wearing a breath box with your helmet?

Dabull · Nov 14, 2012

Also wear medium Troy lee and wear Oakley splice with it. Work great and great fit.

i'm i the only one that thinks $110+ for a pair of goggles is just ridiculous??? oops sorry i didn't notice they say klim on them, surprised they're soooooo cheap

HandFullThrottle · Nov 15, 2012

How are you guys building enough heat inside your goggles to create fog in 10 minutes? Are you sure you're not fogging up the outer lens?

.......and they didn't. I was personally curious as to what helmets they were.

I've have talked to a few other guys who have used these and they had NO issues what so ever and loved them.
