I was wondering if someone can tell me about these goggles. Are they usefull in skydiving? Or is it "too much".

I now have a simple kroops goggles, but this one looks better

I can buy it for 30 euro, so the price it not a big deal.

If you want to look like a welder when in freefall, sure. The only thing I've seen as an issue for some larger goggles in freefall are the tendency for them to blow upwards. This is especially seen while freeflying (blown downwards in the case of headdown).

Beyond that, if you like the goggles and they have proper perphial vision, give them a try.

Hey, was just wondering if you ever bought and jumped these goggles? If so, how were they?
