Oakley Stockholm Goggles

[volklgirl]

After stupidly leaving my O-frames in the lodge and having them disappear by the time I realized it, hubby bought me new goggles. I tried tons on and found the Stockholm to be the only one to actually fit my little-kiddie-sized face. I've always had a problem with sunglasses - the ear pieces are always too long; and goggles - the frames hit my cheekbones or pinch my nose, or the edges pull or push at the corners of my eyes, or they just don't fit with my youth's small helmet.

Until I found this:

The Oakley Stockholm Snow Goggle, Jet Black with Gold Iridium Lense.

The gold iridium lense is dark enough to be usable on a blue bird day, but contrasty enough to use when it's overcast too. The only time I've found them wanting so far is that time when the sun is going down but the lights on the hill haven't kicked on yet - yuck. I love that the lense covers almost the entire goggle...you almost don't even notice the frame, and peripheral vision is fantastic. The white and silver design on the black strap is really sharp and complements my chrome helmet perfectly (we all know how important that is!!! ). They're also available in a bunch of other cool colors and with different lense colors.

No problems so far with fogging or with my eyes tearing up like in every other goggle I've ever owned.

Hi Volkgirl- how do these fit with a helmet? I have a pair of Oakley goggles (Pink frame with pink lenses) but they are a little large for me. Is it because the Stockholm line is designed for women; i.e smaller faces. I like these goggles. I'm going shopping. Perhaps I can find online on sale. Many Thanks!

I just bought the Oakley A-Frame with matte white and black iridium. The lenses are FABULOUS! I can't believe how much I love them....and they fit really nicely with my helmet. It just slips right in by the helmet. Love them!

Now.....hopefully I will get to ski in them soon!

The Stockholm is the first one I've found that doesn't either push my helmet up and back or gap between the frame and the helmet. I just LOVE these!!!

Here's the Oakley link showing the available color combos (jeez, I got boring black )

and the polarized version

Check out the lense selector (click the lense tint tab)....I thought it was pretty cool.

Yahoo - the helmet/goggle combo has driven us all nuts from time to time. What kind of helmet?

I'm beginning to think a helmet make/model - goggle make/model combo thread might not be a bad idea - especially for those of us who are trying to snare late season online deals. Ya think?

Yeah. I understand that goggle-helmet thing. If you look at the side of the A-frame rignt near where the lense is, you can see that it has an extra piece. That piece is flexible to fit whatever type of helmet you have. I have a Boeri. It just clicks right in and back.

I love it, too!

These goggles have a great fit! I just purchased a pair for my niece who is 9... oddly enough they are quite comfy on my face too. BF's oakley crowbars, and the other "men's" goggles I've tried on hit my cheekbones and squish in the wrong places. Oddly enough I really don't have a small face either, just higher cheekbones.

I got her the Pink/Persimmon... I still need to pick up a pair for me. I think Oakley got this one definately right! Thanks for the review!

Current helmet is a Giro Sonic size small.

I'm also going to try them with my Giro Talon and report back. I'm currently using the A-frame with that helmet (yellow lense for racing at night), but the fit is really irritating and the A-frame didn't work with the Sonic at all.
