They look pretty sweet, how many of ya'll are going to be ditchin' your old systems for a pair of those? A friend o' mine said they felt heavy, can anyone confirm or deny this?
The new DYE goggles
- Thread starter Manning26
- Start date
I'm freakin' torn between getting a pair of the DYE's, or the Proteus. AAARGH!!! I don't even need a new pair of goggles, I just want, ya' know?
Welllll...
To each their own, but the DYE goggles don't even tempt me.
What I like about the DYE goggles is (1) that they're different, and (2) the lenses. What I don't like about the DYE goggles (1) they don't cover up the backs of my ears, (2) they're uncomfortable, and (3) only a rock will bounce off that faceplate with those paint-graters on it. And MY own personal opinion is that they're a bit on the goofy appearance side (they remind me of that sci-fi hero, the Guyver...LOL).
Like I said, to each their own...but the Proteus is da' shiznit in my book and if I couldn't wear a Proteus, I'd wear a Flex-7/Ize.

Hey Justin, you're right on that Guyver thing, now I'm going to think of that every time.
I wonder if they'll cover my tender little ears, you know when it gets cold, I'm going to want serious ear protection. Thanks for the scoop Brutha'!

PROTEUS RULE!!
We got proteus gogs and, to coin a phrase Justin, 'they are the shiznit'
I tried on a pair 'o Dyes at Planet an thought the actual lense and goggle part was cool, nice design and looked great, but when you stick those puppies on you look like one of the guys from 'planet of the apes'. I felt like my chin was hangin off and they felt a lil' uncomfortable. The proteus is by far the best goggle system I've ever used and is a ton better than the flex, stick a smoke lense in a black pair and see how mean you look. BUY 'EM!!
Justin, we spoke to you at Campaign this year (you may not remember us, K2) and got on the subject of team Strange and how good they are as a unit. Now I know you've been playing with the Saberwolves for some time BUT I'm sure I saw you in this months PGI in the Strange line-up, is this true are were just takin' a photo op?

Thank you, Al. It looks like I may be wasting my money on the Proteus then, instead of the DYE. My brother has the Proteus already, so I know how good they are, I was just wondering what you guys who've had the chance to mess with the DYE's thought. Obviously, not a big hit, so far.
Also Al, it'll take more than the Proteus and some tint to make ME look too terribly mean.

I don't know about the Dye goggles but have you tried the Nuvis-1 range from Raven. I used to us the JT-IZE but decided to change to Raven and I'm very impressed. I tried them out at the Diablo Cup in Elsham and liked them very much.

As one of my buddies said: 'Can't beat the Proteus for it's retro style. All they need to do now is release them in white, and you'll really look like an Imperial speeder bike rider from Return of the Jedi'. He has a point.......
