If you want cheap goggles for FPV and dont care about how it looks I can recommend to trash a pair of Trimersion 3001AD and screw it to an ordinary baseball hat. I bought it on ebay for 99$ shipping included. Works really great.

I took out the video board with optics, hard wired the 5V and the video signal and attached it to a baseball cap (without the cap). Very simple, lightweight and comfortable. Ugly thou... I also glued a plastic can on it to protect the electronics. This mod is about 2h work...
The 5V is made out of an Hextronik UBEC and and 2S lipo.
This picture shows how to connect the video signal and 5V. I just cut the wires of and soldered my inputs to the cables.
