Description

Your mind might be foggy from last night’s après session, but the Oakley A Frame goggle stays clear all day.

Don the Oakley A Frame Goggles and try farting in them to fog them up. It may sound gross, but it’s probably an effective method for testing Oakley’s integrated dual-lens and surge-vent technology. Or hit the mountain and leave the beans at home. Oakley sealed a layer of air between two fog-treated lenses to reduce the chance of fog accumulating. Vented air circulates through the bottom of the A Frame and back out the top so air doesn’t have a chance to get trapped in your goggle and fog your lens. Impact resistant frames, triple-layer foam with wicking fleece, and total UV protection make the A Frame the workhorse of Oakley’s lineup.

These frames have lasted a while as you can tell by the older model of A Frames here.

These goggles have lasted a long time and I still use them occasionally but I have become a fan of larger lense goggle. These work great but I personally like a bigger lense with a slightly better range of view.

Just killed off the lens and frame from my first pair of A frame's. They lasted many seasons and crashes and harsh conditions. I bought another pair because I liked these so much. Great fit for a helmet wearer also.

These are my all time favorite goggles that I hope I never have to replace! They get used a lot while Snowboarding and Snowkiting!

I've been using these frames for years and have just recently had to replace the lens this season. I would definitly buy them again! ... if I had too! ;)

I can't say that I've ever worn a more perfect fitting pair of goggles! Never had any fogging issues either. Swapping lenses may be a little tricky at first, but once you've nailed the method, it takes less than 30 seconds.
Sure, you don't get as great of peripheral vision as other frameless goggles, but I've never had any complaints(just stay in control and it shouldn't be a problem anyways...)
The lenses are also top notch. I've had some for over 3 years and they still look great.
5/5 stars

Best fitting pair of goggles!

I've only used these goggles a few times but I was totally pleased. No fog, of course, but surprising brightness in a nasty driving snow. I could see when everyone else was complaining.

As Expected

Pretty sure those aren't A-Frames in the picture...
But they look great on you!

i love these goggles; i own three pair. they're the only goggles that fit my small nose. i got the half tone red and have gotten compliments on their look. they're more gray than white, but i like that. caveat: remember not to wipe the lens, only blot. stuffing the bag or tissues in them when wet helps dry them out.

I've accumulated a number of pair since this goggle was introduced years ago. Swapping lenses is cumbersome and you just don't know what the light will be on the hill all the time. Keep a few pair stashed in the car or in your luggage and you can make a game time decision on the fly. I recommend the Polarized lens only at high altitude on bluebird days. The yellow lens is still my favorite for flat light and storm riding. Careful when cleaning the inside of the lens in particular. Best to let them air dry. This goggle fits really well under a POC helmet and the strap is long enough not to squeeze your face. If someone's having a bad day on the mountain, its probably because their goggles are too tight, no joke. After a few seasons wearing sunblock, sweating, and getting after it, the foam can get kind of gross. Then its time for a new pair and keep the lens as a back up.

Killer style, great visuals. (Although I have not used them up in the mountains.) I wear a Smith Vantage helmet, and decided to go with a Smith goggle in order to get that perfect fit. These have a bit of a gap between goggle and smith helmets. Otherwise, these goggles are pretty solid.

I started skiing again two seasons ago after 14 years off from skiing as a kid. I initially purchased a pair of Scott goggles from the local ski shop for around 75. They've become consistently more scratched, tend to fog and at times even have had water condensing in them. Finally I bit the bullet and purchased some A frames.

The downside (let's get it out of the way):
* The particular pair I got seemed to have excess glue keeping the foam attached to the main body, keeping it in a constant state of sticky. I returned these and the new pairs seems fine.
* These aren't indestructible, they will scratch if you aren't careful and you won't get the scratch out, especially on the inside lens.

The upside:
* The fit is pretty good, super adjustable, and the strap stays in place on a helmet.
* They're comfortable to wear and don't limit vision very much due to the very large lens.
* Although I only got about 4 days of ski time to test them, I was in some of the warmest and most humid weather of the year. Almost no fogging occurred no matter how much heat and sweat I put out, and as soon as you started down the trail the fog dissipated instantly.
* Interchangeable lenses mean you can have one set of goggles to go from night skiing all the way through bluebird skies. It's a little difficult to change the lenses at first, and I did decide to pick up a separate pair for night skiing, but I have two shades of lenses for day skiing to handle both direct sun and overcast days.
* You can't beat Backcountry's return policy.

Tips:
* Keep the cleaning bag with you, if you're taking your helmet off you head, take your glasses off your helmet and store them so they don't get scratched.
* DO NOT touch the inside lens while wet. Read the attached info on how to deal with water/snow on the inside lens (and on how to do lens changes, also see youtube).
* To remove the lens, don't focus so much on pushing the lens outward (away from the eyes). Just grab the top of the frame in your right hand, the nose bridge in the other, and pull apart from each other and away from the lens. The lens should start to come right out. You can be pretty rough with the frame and lens without worry, but try to use the cleaning bag or something similar to prevent directly touching the lens.

I'm a female adult whos just a beginner skiier and looking for goggles. I normally love polarized lenses in sun glasses and am wondering if these A frames are a good choice for me despite being non polarized. I don't really want to shell out $120 for polarized lenses if these can do a sufficient job. Please advise, thanks !!!

Polarized lenses for skiing aren't the best choice. You won't find that many that are polarized. The reason is you can't see definition of ice vs. snow with polarized lenses. I would go with a goggle that allows for a replaceable lens and then get a really dark lens. Smith has a couple great options for goggles and then you can get the Fire Sensor Mirror or the Gold Sol X Mirror. Hope this helps.

Have 2 pairs of these and am very satisfied. THey are the first goggles i've worn that havent fogged. Even if you breathe into your facemask and fog up your goggles, they clear up nearly instantly. They are def made for smaller faces, not nearly as big as the crowbar. Integrates well with both my Giro G10 and Smith Maze helmets. Black iridium for sunny days, HI Yellow for low light.

Exactly what a goggle should be. Fog resistant, bomber, sturdy, good seal b/t frame and lense, good foam b/t frame & face, great shape, visibility is just fine (EG2s & I/Os offer a bunch of periphery that I don't find anymore useful than the vision offered here). I've skied the Bern Baker helmet for a few years now and these gogs fit PERFECTLY under its rim, you'd think that Bern had designed the helmet to work best with A-Frames. I can't say enough about this frame. Deciding which lens to buy should be your hardest decision.

I bought two pairs of A frames for my boys for Christmas. They are ages 8 and 10. They fit their faces perfectly. Even though we live in Houston, the A frames were #1 on both of their lists. Great colors, fit and style. I just wish we got to use them more!!

Great Goggles, love em, they are perfect for light to medium snowboarding/skiing. for anything hardcore like going through clouds and near zero degree weather they ice up and fog up.
