    Goggles with clasps/straps with clasps?

    So for most of my mountaineering over the past few years I've been using a BD Vapor helmet with the goggles held in place via zip ties- this works well, but with the downside that you can't remove the goggles once they're put on unless you cut the zip ties. As a result the goggles get scratched and the current pair is at the end of their life.

    Does anyone know of any goggles with a clasp in the strap so I could pull them on and off when I travel? Thanks!

    My Smiths have a clasp in the back.

    Some of the Bolle goggles have clasps. I have a few pair of the X500 (now discontinued though) that have the buckle clasp on them.

    I made three small Velcro straps to hold my goggles on my helmet, works just fine and cheaper than buying new Smiths.

    Or get one of the sexy orange Petzl sirocco helmets which have an elastic goggle holder. I only get mocked every time I where mine.
