Default Using snowboard goggles to ride

So I'm waiting on my Fulmer V2 to come in and I'm trying to decide on goggles. I know motocross goggles will work with the Fulmer but is anyone using snowboarding goggles? I'm just wondering how different snowboard goggles tend to be from motocross. Any helpful input is appreciated it!

Only you can tell if they will work or not, it will depend on what type of goggles and how they (and the helmet) fit you.

My wife wears jockey goggles (used for horse racing). We were at the track one day and she bought a pair just to try them, they are light and small and fit under her helmets. I bought a couple dozen for her (tinted and clear).

Sorry gotta ask. Are snowboarding goggles widely available or popular in Florida?

Not WIDELY available nor popular but if you're in a major city, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Fort Lauderdale there are usually a shop or two that sells winter apparel. Stores like REI.

I wear my snowboarding pants/gloves for rain/cold gear, but that's just me.

PS - I did get caught in 3 inches of snow once. Not the funnest experience in the world.

Hey Marc, we're gonna ski Mt. Dora this weekend. If you get those goggles, wax the board and come on up.
