Oakley Snow Goggles (A Frame) Goggles

Oakley Snow Goggles (A Frame) Goggles 

DESCRIPTION

FRAME COLOR: Yellow The new Oakley® A Frame™ goggles use Oakley's proven POLARIC ELLIPSOID™ lens geometry to form a sculptural, eight-ounce bunker around your optical hardware. Strategically placed surge ports maintain a circular flow of fog-cutting ventilation, and rugged urethane frames remain flexible when your world is encased in a sheen of ice. And as conditions slip from bad to worse, and performance becomes especially critical, rely on the A Frame's dual-lens technology to establish a thermal barrier against condensation while providing optical clarity and peripheral vision that's unmatched in antiquated conventional goggles.

Strength:

Close fit to the face. Comfy.

Weakness:

Fogging on first use before I even hit the slopes. I think they may be defective, I was very suprised and disappointed after hearing such good things about Oakley and spending so much.

Chose these because they fit my face very comfortably and were compatible with a helmet. First day I wore them they fogged up before even moving. They cleared up on fast runs but immediately fogged at the bottom of each run. As the day went on and I started venturing into REALLY deep powder (up to my thighs), the goggles got worse and worse and could not be de-fogged. Thought it was just me but had 2 friends try them on a no-powder day and they had the same problem: fogging before even moving.

Strength:

No fogging, Comfortable fit, look great, interchangeable lense for different conditions

Weakness:

A little pricey, and each lens costs 75 bones

These goggles kick ass I have the yellow iridium lens, great at night, but lets in a little too much light if the Sun is out full bore (If the sun is out like that you should be wearing sunglasses anyway). I have used them for a month and they blow away any others I have used. First day I had them, I spent it pounding the bumps and sweating like a pig. They didn't fog once, and I had no moisture build up. Comfy, look cool, and perform great. My buddy has the Wizrads, and he loves them, the perform about the same, but they look to futuristic for me. If you want something a little old school, that performs great these are it.

Strength:

-They never fog. -They look great (I recommend either silver or carbon fiber with the black irridium lens). -They don''t obstruct your vision at all. -They never fog. -Very light. -Great on sunny days. -They never fog.

Weakness:

Okay. Normally I would say that they''re pretty espensive, but I only paid 80 beans for the goggles with the irridium lens, I got a good deal. Otherwise, they will leave you broke but $120 is a small price to pay to avoid tree branches and stuff.

Kindly disregard those morons who badmouth these goggles, they are amazing and truly incredible goggles. I just bought them about a month ago and went riding for all of last week and they have yet to show any sign of fog. I got them in carbon fiber with the black irridium lens and they look sweet, the mirrored lens makes it real easy to avoid people you''d rather not speak to.

Strength:

I wear em from 8 am until 10 pm. Good fit, Good lense, quality.

Weakness:

Expensive, plus you will were these all day...while you get a tan being out there.

A dream come true!!! No yoke, the best goggles I have ever had. I use a blue iridium lense, which is superb in almost all conditions. Light enough for snowshowers, dark enough for sunny days. Take the hurdle of buying them...you won''t regret it.

Strength:

they NEVER FOG, they are comfortable, they look awesome, and they are small enough to fit in a helmet( when ya wear one)!

Weakness:

price is a little steep, BUT WORTH EVERY PENNY!

THESE GOGGLES ROCK THE F*&KIN PLANET! thepair I bought are sooo comforable, almost like sweet pink twat! the only goggles that I have ever wore that are more comfortable are my JT Paintball goggles, but they are by far the best snow goggles. they have the atvantage over the rest by being cool looking, comfortable, never fogging, and a special feature ( i think) is that when your in the lodge, under a bright light, you can "check-out" girls because the tinting is hard to see threw in bright light( just dont get caught)!
