They do but the selection can be a bit of a crap shoot...

yes, but that is true for EVERYTHING at TJ Maxx

i've shopped for ski pants there the past 2 seasons. hit or miss on sizes and styles, even what they have from store to store.

I got some pretty nice Giro goggles for very cheap at TJMaxx last year or the year before. Unfortunately they don't fit quite as well with my Giro helmet as I was expecting, but they're not bad.

goggles are one piece of equipment that don't excite me much. As long as they work, I'm happy. I guess the same could be said for all soft goods. I'll go five years before replacing pants or jackets as long as they still work and fit properly.

goggles frustrate the crap out of me when they don't work! i have a very hard time finding goggles that work well for me in flat light, i hate not being able to see well.

You dont even want to see my goggle collection. I think I have between 10 and 15 pairs sitting on my shelf. And this was with giving away a bunch of pairs to friends last season. Between the free ones I get from reps, or the ones I buy. I am to lazy to change out lenses, so I just have many of the same frames that fit me good with different lenses.

I'm still trying to figure out the best flat light goggle. Clear lenses don't really do it for me either...they are good at night but not for flat light.

My biggest problem with goggles is them fogging up when I'm skiing hard.... :-?

Where can I find a good pair of goggles for $50 or less? Any specific recommendations?

FYI - tramdock email says they'll have Smith Fuse goggles for sale today @ 50% off (should be around $45)

last time i they had them up there were many styles and lense tints to choose from.
