    Check out the POC Cornea. They have a huge fov. I ski with Scott Fix's for my flat light goggle and almost feel blind due to the reduced fov. The Cornea's are almost scary you can see so much.

    They ski just shorter than their 186 cm length so probably a 170ish. They rip the hardpack with stability, but they won't carve trenches but definitely hold an edge.
