goggles help please

[macsdad]

I am helping my daugther find the right goggles as she is now starting high school lacrosse (first time player but made the team). I am having a hard time finding any of the new models here in the san francisco area. So I would like to know if anyone knows what local stores carry the the below list and (more importantly) if there is a preference from anybody who has them already - thanks.

STX 4sight
debeer vista
bangerz hs 7000
iris pro

[sumSum]

I can give you a link to some websites that you can buy from online. I would reccomend the STX 4sight to you.

The Iris Pro and Debeer Vista are untested. The bangerz hs 7000 rest right on the nose and are very annoying to wear. Your best choice as SumSum said would be the 4sight. The only down side for those is they don't have a wide range of color options.

[sumSum]

If you dont find the colors your looking for at Bacharach, SportsHerWay has exclusive colors.

Make sure you check the USL list of ASTM approved eyewear before purchasing.

At the time of this posting, the 4sight & Vista meet all standards. The HS-7000 only meets youth standard (there is some dispute btwn Bangerz & USL about that http://www.bangerz.com/hs7000update.html), and the Iris Pros are not listed yet.

Thanks for the feedback. She ended up with the deBeer Vista which one store had one pair. There was not time to have her first choice, the 4sight, shipped. Every store in this area had the Iris which just did not seem to fit properly.
She is extremely happy with the Vista's so far because they are comfortable, less vertical wires and the fact that everybody else has the Iris.

Thanks again

This a website that you can buy lacrosse equipment for both boys and girls. I hate wearing googles Our school has these googles caleed bangerz and they are better than the other teams that we play because you can see better out of them then the cascade ones but i dont know where you can find them. ZI think you have to order them online but not sure who carrys them. :monkey: :monkey:

i would get the cascades the fit well and except for sometimes you dont even feel em

[laxkay841]

I would recommend the 4sights, like many other people have mentioned. As owner of a pair of 4sights and Iris...I would most definately recommend the 4sights above all. The vision is clearer and also they are more comfortable...just my opinion

[LexLax]

Try the 4sights. They are really comfotable and relatively cheap.

[sumSum]

He's already bought the deBeer Vista...

[lacrossemom]

Does anyone have an opinion on the Warrior Theia Wire goggles? I did a search and came up with nothing. They seem to be a little cheaper than the 4sights.

[celtlax]

with goggles price shouldn't be an option...go for comfort, fit and vision...some goggles are more bulky than others...theia is significantly larger than the 4sights and uses padding similar to some of the other goggles, unlike the sticky gel padding of the STX...too bad you can't have your daughter try them on locally....personally I have tried on the Brine Guru, DeBeer Vista and used the Cascade Iris....I love the 4sights so much that I even bought a backup just in case..

[bacharach]

WHile I can't sponsor any one manufacturer over another I can tell you that without question we have as of today sold about double the 4Sights as compared to all other goggles PUT TOGETHER!!!
