My Accuri's fit great for me. The foam is particularly deep on the frame I found so they sat well into the eye port on the D2. Occasionally the outer edge of the frame sits on the edge of the helmet eye port if you try to throw them on quickly but that is i believe just down to laziness on my part- when they're in position they're super comfy imo. I'm sure the other models are just as excellent.

Awesome, I think I saved a pic of your helmet in fact (that sounds so wrong, sorry, ha).

The goggles look great, so I'll go with those, do you recommend the red lens?

Thanks for posting Smile

Edit: it was riggadon' helmet I saved a pic of, sorry

I demand you delete the candid pic of my helmet....

I liked it!!

Yeah but all the Airbrake haters here will not agree,they would say get 100% or any other goggle as long it's not an Airbrake.

The hate is unfounded. I tried them on in a shop and found them comfortable with a huge FOV. As a 100% owner, I only stayed away because of the cost

I think they look pretty dope I would definitely rock a pair (100% glasses i mean). I think the biggest drawback on the oakleys is the price but if you are a savvy shopper you can occasionally find them for around $100 which is what I got them for at an Oakley Vault outlet store. Other nice thing is that they can last a long time because the parts are easily interchangeable if you wear out the foam face plate it can be replaced for $12 and you essentially have a brand new feeling goggles.

The Airbrakes looked better paired with my matte black Full 9....Might have to order up a pair of 100% goggles to see what the hype is about (and you know, match)

Those are the same color scheme as the Airbrakes Andreu was wearing when he won rampage, really like them. My friend has them on his wall at his house. So jealous.
