tell me about your goggles.

[hollypop]

what goggles do you have and why do you like them? have you had some before you didnt like much?

goggles are interesting.

 

[LindsaySkiGal]

I have oakley stockholms. I don't know much about lens tint. Is there anyone that is very particular about their lens tint? For me, as long as my goggles don't fog, I'm happy.

I have Oakley A frames because that's what goes best with my helmet and my head! I also have numerous mistakes with the helmet that are kicking around and sometimes wear if I'm not wearing the helmet. (Which isn't often!) The A frames a black with the persimmon lens. I also have a pair in white with a light lens, not good on sunny days. Great for storm days.

 

[hollypop]

the persimmon lens sounds lovely! i tihnk i've seen a pic of those. nice.

I wear Smith Anthems. They fit my head well, and I got them on the cheap from SAC (now Tramdock ). I've got a pair of Sensor Mirrors for flat light and a pair of RC36 for sunnier conditions.

I have Rudy Projects and I love them. Excellent anti-fogging. Red lenses for variable conditions/everyday wear, clear lenses for night/low light, and laser for extremely bright conditions.

I have the oakley A-frames as well! I actually found an asian fit pair since my nose bridge is not very high. I have the standard persimmon lens but I am looking to get the H.I. yellow for those low light days. I borrowed those from a friend and they worked great.

Smith Anthems, Dragon DXS, Oakely A..i actually have about 6 pairs. Many things about them I like...mostly they fit my face &my helemet! What I don't like? I seem to **always** choose the wrong goggles for the conditions of the day. And I'm way too lazy to go back to the car to grab the **right** pair!

I have Anon figments. I liked the look of lots of the Oakleys but they just didn't fit my face, the Anons are so comfy. I've got 2 pairs, one with persimmon lens and one with a mirror lens as the lens only costs about £10 less than a brand new pair of goggles in the UK.

 

[volklgirl]

Another lover of the Stockholm here. Everything else either fits badly with the helmet or squishes my nose, or smashes my cheek bones, etc. I have both the black irridium (for day time) and the yellow lenses (for night time)

 

[Snowsong]

I use the Smith Turbo-fan goggle with the prescription insert. I used to be able to ski without glasses, but a few years back, it got to the point I needed them while skiing. :( I don't do contacts, so this was the best solution for me. The prescription inserts are removable, and they snap into blade-style sunglasses by Smith that I wear biking. I use a Scott OTG goggle for night skiing. They have a blue lens, but they are made for night skiing and I can see clearly with them.

 

[SnowflakeADK]

Smith Anthem here too.
Gold sensor mirror for low/flat light
Platinum mirrors on the way from Tramdock for sunnier days.
I also had the Smith Transits once upon a time (they have been "misplaced") and they fit my small face well.
I've never had a problem w/ either fogging.

Doesn't matter what I try I always get some degree of nose squish.

 

[SnowHot]

I can't explain it any better than this. Love my TurboGoggles!

I've worn Smith Anthems for the past 3 seasons. Great size as I have a small face. Blue sensors most of the time and platinum lenses on sunny days. I've given my goggles to my teenage daughters and this year will be wearing Smith Heiress goggles which seem to fit better with my helmet (and I like the look) in bronze -- a brown sensor lens and another platinum lens. Goggles can really spice up a ski outfit!

 

[slipnslide]

I bought a set of Alpinas in Chamonix last January after accidentally destroying my Oakley’s. I like them and would probably buy another set when necessary.

 

[Greeley]

I like my Oakley Crowbars. They fit with my helmet better than A Frames do. I have several lenses for them, my favorites being the polarized for bright days.

 

[Elangirl]

oh my gosh, I just asked someone who lived back east if BlueKnob was still open!!! I skied there in the seventies---there was a big log house to stay in---the rooms were all open at the top, so you heard everything that anyone did!! I have fond memories of Blue Knob.

 

[ski&bfree]

Can someone explain what a sensor mirror lens is?

 

[ski now work later]

If you go on Smith's web site, they have a description of the lenses that they make. Sensor lenses are good for flat light conditions and Smith makes sensor lenses in blue and brown.

I'm glad you had a good time! We never went away, we're just a well kept secret Might be a sale in the works, not in time for this season. Won't post anymore about it for now as negotiations are still taking place and there are too many rumors flying around.
