DHarrisburg Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 the tint was wearing off, they scratched easily, and the mirrored ones were SUPER dark Isn't that kinda the point of mirrored lenses? Tint wear and scratches will happen to every pair of goggles you own unless you are super anal about taking care of them and don't ski in rain or snow.

Also i could clearly see the sctratches through mine. Im not ragging on them they are sweet goggles but i like my A-frames better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justo8484 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 i've had my a frames for 4 seasons, and the only thing wrong with them is one of the lenses cracked, so i need a new one, but thats because i wacked my face off a rail. the tint doesnt wear out at all, and they dont scratch that easily, because its not just a coating on the top of the lense like most other goggles. and jeff, thats a nice goggle gap you have there.

VTmark Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 i know we talked about this befor but i can't find it what goggles do you suggest to fit over my glasses. i have the lenses that tint in the sun light so thats not an issue.

Zonked Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I don't know what my goggles are and I don't really care. I got them for christmas. They keep my contacts from flying off my eyes when I'm skiing, so Im happy with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LineSki Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I know people said they dont like wisdoms, and I still like mine. But here is a deal and a half right here. 45 dollars for oakley wisdoms. They are last years and just selling them till there gone, its a hell of a deal.

So they arent that good of a price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skifreak Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I didn't try it but maybe they take off a discount at the end to bring it down to $45, or it could be a typo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the standard price for those goggles without a mirrored lense. Sounds like the website screwed up when listing them. You could try emailing them, I guess.

Captain Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I had oakley L frames and liked them just fine. With the lasic this year I bought some Oakley Wisdoms. I ski with a clear lense and there isnt one in the A/wisdom frame so I got the high intensity pink. Its the closest they have to clear. the next closest is high intensity yellow. I like the peripheral vision the wisdoms offer. And they fit my mellon just fine. If your looking at oakley find a ski shop thats good. As I found out from the shop I deal with oakley's website dosent list alll the lenses/frame combos avilable and there customer service dosent know any better either.

Justo8484 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 i'm not sure if we still have any, but i know in the past we have had clear lenses for a frames and wisdoms, as well as o frames. just curious, are you doing all your skiing at night, which is why you want the clear lense? i have used the high intensity blue lense for the past 5 years and i like them a lot better than a clear lense, it gives the snow a little more contrast so you can see terrain changes a little better.

train36 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I was thinking of getting anon figments or subrosa'a since I got a RED helmet and they should fit perfect. Anyone here anything about these, good or bad. I have a pair of smiths from last year I like a lot but they don't fit my helmet real well. I am a little worried about getting the figments b/c they look really big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LineSki Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 figments are nice, but only from what I hear. If you want to get rid off goggle fog you can always put rain x on the inside of the lense. I dont know how good that can be for it, but I always did it for paintballing and it works like a charm.

poconoceancity Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 my scott goggles are pretty good....there a silver lens, got them for 40 bucks at sports authority of all places Taking your advice I checked out Sports Authority. I was surprised at their selection of snow gear. Lots of stuff from Burton and North Face. Everthing was pretty cheap also. They didn't have any high end boards though.

adrian Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 i had oakleys then tried out anons (because i have a r.e.d. helmet) and havent looked back. i have the halcyons, but i might pick up figments because they are so affordable. i suggest them for any riders and now even skiers are wearing them. if you have glasses, smith has the best glasses compatible models, and their stuff is solid. scope it out!
