Is it just me, or has the durability of the foam declined in recent years?

I just bought a 4 pack of hustles, I have been running the old 07 vintage no sweat xi for a long time and they are my favorite goggle hands down, these prospect look awesome tho. Remind me of the old no sweat xi.

So, there have to be a few old guys like myself who recognize the significance of the $89 price tag.

Just another company trying to keep pace with Oakley design and technology.

For some reason I doubt Scott's ad campaign for this goggle was "we are just trying to keep up with Oakley". Scott has been making elite level products for decades.

Glad I'm not the only one thinking $90 for a pair of goggles is ridiculous

I hear ya. I've become a closeout bargain hunter. Just picked up super cheap Alias Gear for $79 and a new pair of EKS brand on another order I had to top off my free shipping. I felt like Farva pumping gas into the trash can to get a free hot dog.

I havent had any issues with the foam.

I sweat a lot so I run the panty liners regardless but the foam has held up really well and I wash mine in the washing machine.

I will stick with my Eks for 30ish bucks.. I have gotten discount deals on dragon NFX and spy ace. They are both too large for my taste. They fill the whole goggle port. These look too large too. Off road in Texas sucks when you can't feel the air .

Was given a pair of AirBrakes. Wasnt a fan of the look or the fit. Still love my Eks Brand and continue to support!

Ya these fancy goggles are pimp and all. Good for Scott stepping up to Oakley. But dam who has that kind of money to spend on goggles. I ride in the woods and see goggles as pretty much disposable. I would rather run the cheaper goggles myself and rotate them.

The double tear off pins are interesting. It's about damn time they came out with a new goggle, they seemed to have lost a huge chunk of market share over the last few years.

Totally stoked... I love scott goggles! I have worn them since the late 80s and every time I try a different brand I am dissapointed, love my hustles and can't wait to try these.

I've used Scott forever..... they lasted for years. I tried the Airframe and was sold on the fit, view and how easy it is to clean and change the lens. The price is a bummer, however I take exceptional care with my googled so I was ok with the investment.

Yes $89.00 for the Prospect, before accessories is still a lot.

I don't think I can bring myself to pay $89 for a pair of goggles, let alone the almost $200 Oakleys'. My family needs that money more than I need a new pair of goggles for that price. It's funny when people see something shiny and new and are ready to sell the dog and the house to buy it just because it is new. If you can afford it then by all means treat yourself, but that price tag is not for me.

No molded lens, i guess that is why it's relatively cheap compared to the Oakley Airbrake, Dragon nfx and Spy.

I've been buying Scott goggles since I was a little kid but last year started trying out different goggles. Scott simply grew stale in my eyes. I tried some different 100% and Dragon goggles until I finally bought a pair of Airbrakes on clearance and fell in love with them. The fit and feel is first class, they're simple to take apart and to clean. The MSRP is ridiculous but you can find them on sale around $100.

I'm happy to see that Scott has something new again.

It might be half the price but the lens will be half as crisp as the Oakley. When they remove the lens from the Scott goggle, you can see how soft and flexy it is.

I do like the idea of double tear off post. I bet that would keep dust from getting between the 2.

I've seen way too many Airbrakes break to put down 150 for it.

I sure wish there were more options for us glasses wearers!!! 100% has like 3 color choices, all solid colors, no design whatsoever.

Are there really that few of us that wear glasses and ride too?

I think if they last as long as my EKS brand googles have lasted, I would definitely give them a shot. Excellent design and function from what I've seen.

89 bucks isn't bad if you take care of your googles.
