[QUOTE="Rusty-Gold, post: 534409, member: 39072"] I have just spent a couple of the most frustrating hours I've had in a very long time trying to attach a "beak" nose guard to a new pair of Scott 89 Turboflow goggles! First, they came with no instructions, hints, or tips on how best to attach them. After trying unsuccessfully for more than an hour, I gave Scott a call but was only told "Yea, it takes a lot of effort.". It's pretty obvious that the posts on the guard go through the (more or less) matching holes in the bottom rim of the goggles. But the holes aren't really holes, just slits that easily allow a pointed object through but not so with the rounded heads of the attachment posts (makes putting a square peg in a round hole seem easy in comparison). Then there is the fact that you can't get your finger behind either (especially the inner) post to apply sufficient pressure. The amount of pressure required to force the post through the hole is so great that you're in constant fear of bending or breaking the posts, not to mention the way the foam gets torn up as you're going through these contortions. And then on top of everything, once you finally do get the guard attached, you discover that not only is the guard not quite symmetrically aligned on the goggles, but half of the bottom vent on the goggles is now blocked by the double-walled attachment scheme used! I haven't had a chance to use them yet but I'm seriously concerned now about how effective these "TurboFlow" goggles are going to be in preventing fogging now that half of the venting is blocked. I will give them a try but this experience alone has left a very bad taste in my mouth about the quality of Scott products and their support. [/QUOTE]
