Goggles

[gerard]

Who wears em and which ones do you wear?

[brandy von blood]

I've been looking at some different Smith goggles and some Dragon ones. I just discovered my old goggles disappeared so now I need a new pair. Grrr... So frustrating especially when I need a bunch of new gear and money's tight.

[CrazyOldFart]

Got a chaep pair Smiths for night, and Oakley Wisdoms for day. The Oaks have a chrome look and don't let much light through.

[burnpianoxisland]

I rock em yo. Oakley A Frames, and Electric EG1's

[brandy von blood]

I guess I'll have to check out some Oakley's then. Thanks. :D

[burnpianoxisland]

I love the A Frame lenses, but I hate the shape of the goggles. If only I had money to buy new lenses for my Electrics. ::dang::

[steezy steve]

i rock my smiths, i really like them

[Martin]

i got pearl white A frame oakleys with blue chrome lense there tight. i love em :D

[short_beans]

i've been wearing smiths. they're not too expensive ($26 jrs.) but they work, so that's fine by me

[nutrishus818]

i wear smiths that were $50? and von zips that were 50 on sale.. i just wear em during the day though ... and revently ive been going to night sessions.. 8)

[gerard]

I just picked up a pair of Oakley L frames I think they were. I have to say, trying to pick out goggles was confusing, they all seem the same to me. Except my old ones, they were crap. But I guess when your up at a mountain and its a Noreaster, you have to get whatever the mountain shop has. I want to get goggles that don't allow you to see my eyes though :wink:

[Tizzer]

You should just get an extra lens for your googles that is ionized. Most shops usually stock a few extra pairs. I'm wearing a pair of Dragon DX with a few different lenses for different conditions. I love 'em they're so light weight I feels like your not even wearing googles, plus you can change lenses in about two minutes.

[gerard]

I havent seen any replacement lenses for the L frame, do you know of anywhere?

[Levi]

I wear the Oakley A frame and I love them. They fit nice over my helmet.

[Martin]

yer the A frames are great i got blue iridium ones so u cant see my eyes or nothin so its good heh realy good for keepin out sun light aswell

[Levi]

Yea I love mine I have an orange tint because I do a lot of tree ridding and there is allot of flat light so I need to see. Them damn trees hurt when you hit them.

[Martin]

yer with mine there still soo clear aswell aye clearest goggles ive ever worn. so its good for tree rdin aswell...so they should be for the price i payed haha :P

[albert.]

i have these white vonzippers, they're alright but the orange lense bugs.

[SnoChica]

I wear Oakley A Frames but find that they look a little big for my face. Any ladies know of some smaller goggles?

[LoserGuy]

Did you know Oakley fires a steel projectile at its lenses to ensure eye protection? If any fragment passes through, the lens fails and has to be re-designed. Isn't that bitchin?

[prule84]

thats craaaazy :shock:

i rock the uvex goggs with the orange tint :)
Sweet & cheap.... just how i like it :lol:

[redace24]

I'm with Prule....Cheap is good and sufficient enough for me!

[johngchrist]

okleys have been my favoite. goog customer suport. my lenses did some funky mold thing so i called them up and even though they were like 2 years old they replaced them any ways.

[BadassBunny]

I wear Oakley A Frames but find that they look a little big for my face. Any ladies know of some smaller goggles?

Spy Comet's!!!! I loooove them. Mine are blue camo w/ an amber lens. They're $80 goggles, but I got em for $25 cuz my friend works at the shop! ;D

I also have a pair of Dragon's which Tara Dakides wears [I'll hafta check which model]. They're army green colored with a polarized lens, so I only wear em when it's reallybright n sunny. They're so comfy too -- like fleece for ur face.

My friend wears Velvet goggles. I think she looks like a bug tho. =/

[LoserGuy]

i need some better googles cuz i just got some smiths and they suck. I was thinkin oakley. but i don't know if my dad would pop for some 80+ googles just cuz i don't like my other ones.

[Ry]

i just have some older oakleys..they are great tho

[//\\//\\att]

i just picked up a pair of spy soilders with the silver reflective lenses i really like them, i only got to use them for a week but they worked really well.

-Matt

[tarvis]

i got some oakley wisdom with the blue iridium lenses last year..they are hella dope and i havent had any troubles with them. only thing is im alllways worried about scratching them or somethin so i also love my cheap ass smiths that i got at gi joes 4 seasons ago lol cuz i can just toss tehm around and no worry about it..damn good pair too lasted 3 seasons and still never ever fog

[Gumby21]

I don't have them on me so I'm not 100% sure, but I think my new pair is Oakley O-Frame...from what little I've used them, I like them. And I have an ancient pair of Smith's that got left in a lodge at the end of the night that nobody claimed when I worked there, those are my emergency backup :)

[Agour9]

Ive got a pair of Smith goggles too, but i think im going to get a pair of oakley's next season.

[snowboardnguy90]

yea i sport the Smith... mine's alright with clear orange lenses. I wanna get more polarized lenses tho... cuz mountain creek can b kinda bright sometimes. They were round 60 $ i think, but the Creek overprices everything... so i dunno. I wanna get oakleys most... cuz my Smiths are just too big for my head (which is too big for my brain =P).

Pz outtt

[Bluntslide_pro]

for my first post, I will have to tell you all that I have the Oakly A frame. there gel blue with mirrored lenses, and my second pair I have a pair of Dragon goggles. there pretty fricken tight, there a burnt Amber, with a mirror lense. Hell yeah

[SnoChica]

I just got my Velvet Flurry goggles in the mail a week or two ago... They are clear blue with a semi-clear lens. I got them for night riding. I have a replacement lens for them for blue bird days, crazy ass polarized lenses that are blue and green mirrored depending on how you look at them. And, these are in addition to my Black A-Frames w/Persimmon lenses which are sooooo comfy on your face.

Those Velvet Flurries, you gotta be careful with. Even with them at their loosest, they can feel tight. Try 'em before you 'em ladies.

Yes, I'm a gear-aholic.

[Hobbes+]

I used to have a pair of Dragons......until they broke *cries*. Now I've got these mirrored Zeal goggles that were cheaper, but still pretty decent.

[gerard]

All I need to do is get a pair of goggles that dont look huge on my face. I have these oakleys that are just waaaay too big

[The Voice]

Dragon's with the chrome reflective lenes!!!

[Ub3r Mario]

i'd recommend oakleys or spies. both of these brands have proved theirself most worthy to me. I prefer spy goggles jus cuz they are a bit cheaper, and still have awesome quality. orbit!

[Snwbrdr88]

i rock the white oakley a frames with the high intensity blues lenses

[SDPennywise]

[marq=left:beaa552117]I wear Electric Goggles. I don't know the model though. All i know is there from last year. I can wear them for the day and night. They're rad and really comfy! :D [/marq:beaa552117]

[greeneyes]

so i guess im old school. im all about SCOTT. oh thats right.

[bob-o]

anon figments. pink leather. best goggles i've ever owned, i have like 6 pairs of figments, all different colors and lenses. they aren't too expensive either.

[tehelmo]

Ah, finally another Anon Figment owner. I have them in matte black frame with the green mirror and persimmon lenses for backup. I also have a pair of pearl white Oakley A frames with blue iridium lens for those blue bird/sunny days.

[Voyle]

i think that the oakley O type are really nice, in back, but at the moment i only have a pair of cebe's, that im not even sure work well. i broke my pair of oakleys when i landed on sheet ice off a jump and cracked my collar bone, ON THE FIRST DAY!! how lame is that. :?

[optionNFAripper]

*sighs* i guess im the only person in here rockin the Utopia Too Dirty gogs. personally i love em. theyve got 2 thin layers and 1 thick layer of foam that makes for an UBER comfortable fit. they also come with two lenses, a chrome mirror one for sun and an amber one for clouds. or mine did at least. they run for about 90 bucks if you buy em with the 2 lenses but its worth every penny. they never fogged on me ONCE this entire season i had em. id get snow in em and they wouldnt fog up id breathe in em just to see if they fog up and they wouldnt fog up. if you want a super comfotable goggle that never fogs and has super clear lenses id suggest pickin up utopias. if youre in the twin cities area of minnesota twelfth stone snow/skate shop in woodbury in valley creek mall sells them

[Xixist]

I have a pair of Oakley A frames and love them. have different lenses for different conditions so they work nicely. Also like Iris goggle they are so comfortable but expensive and hard to find lenses for them. Love the Oakleys though cause they dont cut off the peripheral vision

[Grill]

Adidas Yodai - Really liked these until some gypo stole them

Oakley Wisdom Fire - I've only worn them three times. Only good if it's really bright, and they don'y fit my helmet. At least they look cool.

Electric EG1 - I love these. Really light and I can swap the lenses when the flat light hits.

[SimonInAustralia]

Oakley Wisdom.

Black and Fire Iridium lenses for bright sun.
High Intensity Blue lens for flat light/overcast.
Clear lens for night.

If the problem with the Wisdom and your helmet is because of the plastic end of the strap, the hinged part where it connects to the frame of the goggle, hitting against the helmet, you can buy the Oakley Wisdom helmet strap kit. It is a replacement strap with different shaped platic hinge bits the fit better over a helmet.

Dragon Dx

These are amazing and light weight and helmet compatable.
Smiths any kind

smiths are amazing for any kind of riding!

[ltsnowboarder15]

I have Anons. They have the coolest strap. It fits soo easily on my helmet and the strap part that makes em look cool is soo easy to adjust. I luv my goggles.

[nvrsummer]

Dragons baby, dragons all the way

[ltsnowboarder15]

This kid tried to convince me he was sponsored by Dragon when all he cood do is butter.

[CScheben]

Im currently rocking a very cheap pair of Smiths. Ive been looking heavily at oakleys.

[SnoChica]

Im currently rocking a very cheap pair of Smiths. Ive been looking heavily at oakleys.A Frames are super comfortable. A little big for my face, then again, most goggles are. But the Oakley's are by far the most comfy.

[SimonInAustralia]

Yep, Oakleys are super comfy!

Just bought a new pair of Oakley Wisdom, black frame with black iridium lens...they feel nice!

[ltsnowboarder15]

wait how could goggles be uncomfortable?

[SnoChica]

Goggles can be very uncomfortable. Sometimes the cushy foam parts can be scratchy or stiff. They can be too tight. They can pich around your nose. Obviously, you've been lucky enough not to have had uncomfortable goggles.

[SnowStar12]

My first pair were these little girls googles that were pink, they we nice except when i was on the hill for too long, lie 10 mins, they would fog up and that was a pain in the ass. So now i have these riding google for motocross, they are so much nicer it is just they look funny on my small head since they are so huge.

But with out the googles it really sucks ur fack get cold fast and snow gets in ur eyes. Or at least it does for me!!

[IRideASnowboard154]

i have some old anon cyphers, a pair of smiths dont know which ones, and i found a pair of bolles in my room and i dont know whose they are so i kept them

[SimonInAustralia]

Got to the hill on Saturday, went to go riding, realised I left my goggles at home...****!

It was snowing, so I couldn't ride without them.

Had to go buy a new pair.

Should have just bought the cheapest I could find, they would have done for the day, ended up buying another set of Oakley Wisdom, pink frames this time.

That makes four pairs of Oakley Wisdom, I don't think I need that many.

I used to use Oakley but I've moved on to Smith.
My instructor friend from IL is a rep.
The Smith Prodigy's are S I C K !!!
Your wouldn't believe what you can do to the frame with the lens removed. I twisted it around like 2 full times and it goes right back when you let go. Never had an Oakley you can do that with. Plus different lenses are cheap and ship fast.
Go Smith!

Red mirrored lens all day.

[chach3]

I hated goggles when I started, but I don't know how you board without them. Spy Targa II

[wprider1989]

alright, ive had everything from oakleys to spys, and my favorite are dragons, but its mostly about how your face is shaped. peopl with differend sized and shaped faces like different gogles, its just what works for you. dont go out and spend 200 dollars on a pair of oakleys online before youve ever tried a pair on, youll probably get dissapointed and screwed out of 200 dollars!

[mpc808]

Anon Figment, Von Zipper Bushwick and Spy Soldier. I love my goggles, somehow they all fit my face properly.

[wprider1989]

yeah, most gogles fit pretty well, but once you get that one pair that fits perfect. you will know what i mean. i liked all of my gogles till i got my dragons. and then all of them just didnt seem to fit right

[americanbb]

I'm probably one of the only people in here that is in love with their Bolle's, I got some this christmas that are the shiz. I think they're called Screams, but they have mirror lenses, top and bottom vents, some other cool crap and the back clip, so I'm damn happy with em. I really do like Dragons though, I had the Dragon Ranger glasses for close to a year, and yes, they did fit perfect, but one day, when hopping a fence, they fell out of my shirt pocket, a 5 foot drop, which cracked the frames, sad..

[Levi]

I had some Bolle's that had an insert for my glasses. I loved them because I could see. But then I had eye surgery and bought a pair of Oakley A frames and I love them.

[ForumBoarder]

i had dragon foil's i got on ebay for 40$ but somebody jacked them, FAG! but i got some von zipper weisenheimers they are pretty sweet

[Munky69]

I rock the Electric EG-1.

[whitelephant2]

im rockin the 05 Spy soldier MFM pro model, theyre freakin sweet and the vision is great, super comfy can hardly tell ur wearin em

[pipedreams18]

ohh man i love me some goggles..... i dont really know whats with my friends, but they barely wear theirs, i mean i wear mine almost every run except for big tricks for the most part........ the wind makes my etes tear and then my vision is totally blurred

[e.]

Spy's, all the way

[Cheung]

I rock the Dragon Foils goggles. There black to silver fade (top to bottom) with half mirrored lenses... They're pretty gnar. Anyone else have the Dragon Foils?

[Never_Autumn]

I usually wear sun glasses, like the cheap 20 dollar pairs because I am cheap, but I'm getting some goggles for this season. My cousins opened up their own eyewear shop online called Birdz Eyewear.

www.birdzeyewear.com

They have 3 different styles, I am gettin the Penguins. Check 'um out if you don't want to shell out the 100-200 dollars for big name goggles.

They look pretty cool. I'll have to check them out. Not like I don't already have 2 pair of eyewear.

But really, you can never have too much gear. Especially when you have those friends that you want to take riding and they make up some excuse about not having their own stuff.

[Never_Autumn]

Yeah, my friend didn't have anything. He wasn't trying to get outta riding, but it was good that we had extra gear for him to use.

[Gumby21]

so apparently i can't keep track of my gear without having it in front of my face...disregard what i said in my previous post a few pages back. my oakleys are either L Frame or E Frame, I'm not sure how to tell the difference, does anybody know? and my old pair of goggles are Scott, not Smith.

[Cheung]

Lol, im also guna make my goggles look sick by putting 2 spike earings (like studs, but with metal pole, kinda cant find the right work, but with a sharp point on the end) to make them look like horns... ive seen it done before it looks SICK :twisted: .

EDIT: Oh yeah.. silly me... I'm guna put them in 2 of the "venting holes" (theres 5.. I think)... so the last 2 holes.

[ride jersey]

about to buy my electrics...

[ACTIVErider]

I have some Oakley A Frames, Toast with Black Iridum. And I'm looking for a Persimmon lense for those overcast days.

[Negrodomaus]

Sportin the Dragon DX! Also have a cheaper pair of Smiths

[Never_Autumn]

I wanna find a clear pair for night. We were boarding at Keystone and it started snowing like crazy, and all we had were tinted goggles. So, needless to say, boarding while it is snowing at night is a different experience.

[fallof_troy]

you cant get electric goggles in canada can you??

[RedVSblueYeti]

i have oakley wisdoms....night camo with orange lenses..im getting some new lenses, mirrored ones

[mya2489]

I love my Oakley's... :D

[Satan]

oakley all the way. A frame or Wisdom. both have same lens choices just depends if you like a small frame, the A frame, or a larger one like the Wisdom.
for low light the high intensity blue lens, the brightest on the market.
for bright light the black iridium or fire lens.
Oakley has the best optics by far.
