I love the I/O goggle
I love the I/O goggle, the evolve edition is made from mostly recycled plastic, and the super quick interchangeable lens option is sick. I can change a lenses in seconds, on the lift, at the top of a line, whereever; it's fast and sweet.
Great idea, but did not fit
The lens and style was great, although there was not enough foam around the nose to create a seal, forcing me to try a different model.
One Size Does Not Fit All
I wear a Giro helmet [size M]. I had to expand the strap to its maximum size to 'fit' and the goggles put a lot of pressure on my face [had goggle marks for 2 hours after taking them off]. The goggles didn't create a great seal, some cold air was blowing through while heading down the slopes. I like the style, the lense switching was very simple, but ultimately I had to return them. I really wish they had other sizes.
Fog & Haze
Not only do these goggles fog up, they form a haze in between the lenses when they get cold. Both lenses that I tried had the same problem. They really don't work at all. They also leak a lot of air, but that's not nearly as bad as not being able to see.
