Description

Get Polarized.

The Oakley A Frame Polarized goggle is part of Oakley's first generation of polarized goggles. For bright days, these are the goggle of choice if you already appreciate polarized glasses. The A Frame is built to withstand long-range solar attacks and short-range meteorological events. Polarized lenses reduce glare from icy, shiny surfaces. Don't worry, you won't lose any of the A Frame's famous optical clarity or wide peripheral view. A triple layer of face foam insulates and provides maximum comfort.

Oakley A-Frame H.I. Amber Polarized

H.I. Amber lens is what I rock on those clowdy storm days and believe me they make a world of difference. The contrast is great, it really allows you really see moguls and other features that you normally wouldnt pick up nearly as close with a regular lens. Even though they are pricey I believe they are worth it!

I bought the Oakley A frames last year for backpacking in windy conditions because reviews said that the breath well. I tried them on last week and they don't fit my face. The bridge of my nose is squeezed down so that I can breath through my nose. This is a deal breaker for high altitude climbing. I am 6', 2", 230, with a slightly longer nose. I am looking for a frame with a deep V cut in the nose bridge and superior lense quality. Any suggestions?

Check out the Smith I/O. I picked up a pair this year for skiing and they are excellent. There's more room around the nose than my old A-Frames and they flow more air as well, which helps prevent fogging. I also noticed that they are significantly cooler than my A-Frames, they don't keep my eyes as warm. This is probably a good thing, especially for backpacking, where you won't be moving as fast to help prevent the fogging.

I second Smith. I've got a big face and went fro a-frames to smith phenoms last year.

Here's a more thorough review on the problem with the lens' inner anti-fog:

In general, it won't hold if touched when wet. Other than that, the peripheral vision on the gogs is what makes this such a versatile tool.

I've had the smearing issue between the lenses twice now with the A frames which makes them unusable.

I've been wearing a pair of these in Afghanistan for a few months now, usually in combination with a protech helmet while riding through the desert on an atv or motorcycle. They have been working great. They keep the dust out and the polarized lenses are great for the blazing Afghani sun. There is really only two things to say here; 1, they are functional (the polarized lenses are worth every cent), and 2, they just look cool. Those two reasons are more than good enough for me.

Best goggles hands down.Hi Amber polarized lenses don't look the best (I like the look of the fire lenses, or the mirrored finish), but they definitely perform the best. I've used them in heavy snow, fog, overcast, sunny days, rain, wind, wind and heavy snow, night riding w/ lights- basically every situation possible, and so far I haven't found any others that I'd rather have. The A-Frames don't fog up....As long as you keep moving, the wind keeps them clear. This is my second pair (the first carbon/black iridium lens fell off my damn helmet), and it's been the same positive experience with these, but the lens is much better. I've also tried the following Oakley lenses: persimmon, black iridium, and fire. Picked these due to overwhelmingly good reviews, here and on other sites- I'm glad I did. Hands down- best!BTW- I picked these over the newer Splice goggles...I like the fit and look better overall. They are a bit less bulky compared to the Splices.

I want a pair of Polarized A-Frames, but I don't know which lense is best for me. I will use these goggles in all conditions (sunny days, snow, flat-light) except I never ski at night. What is best for me?

I have two pairs, a fire iridium lens and a H.I. Amber polarized lens. The fire is gerat on sunny days, cuts glare breathes well and feels great. Handles low light conditions so so, the H.I. Amber lens is what I rock on those clowdy storm days and believe me they make a world of difference. The contrast is great, it really allows you really see moguls and other features that you normally wouldnt pick up nearly as close with a regular lens. Even though they are pricey I believe they are worth it!

These goggles breathe incredibly well. Having polarized lenses helped immensely on those bright days. They handled transitions (in-and-out of the shadows) better than either of my other cheap-o goggles. And, in low light conditions, I was still able to see clearly and avoid rocky obstacles on narrow trails as opposed to guessing what the slightly gray patch was in front of me!
I highly recommend these.

I love this goggle. I had few Smith goggles and this is my first Oakley and my favorite one. I used it numerous times in sunny day, in snow and blizzard day, amazingly performed well with no fog at all. I LOVE IT!

Just spent a week in Aspen with my new oakley goggles and this is the best pair of goggles I've ever owned. No fog. Great venting. Even in bitter cold weather with a mask over my mouth, the lens stayed clear. Love the polarized lens. Only complaint is that the strap could be a little longer/stretchier. I have a R.E.D. helmet, and I had to stretch the goggle strap tight to get it all the way around.

Has anybody had much experience with the Hi-Amber polarized lens and low light conditions or night skiing? My Hi-yellow lenses are almost shot, and I was looking for a replacement, but it looks like the light transmission numbers on the hi-amber is closer to an all-around lens. Any thoughts?

I love the HI Yellow a lot more than the HI Amber, but if you want a lens better for lighter conditions, you could get it with the Amber. If you do do a lot of night skiing, you will miss the HI Yellow.

Can't beat the price on TD for these polarized goggles. The lense block a lot of light which will be great for bright days but I'm not sure how they will perform in low/flat light conditions. They are a bit darker then my friend's Uvex polarized googles, so I may carry a lighter lens goggle as back up for a few days.

These goggles are pretty sweet, the high amber lenses are great and work well in a variety of conditions but to be honest i have a pair of Smith Phenoms i use on sunnier days that fog alot less often and they are a little cheaper or the same price depending on which lenses you get.

i have had many pairs of goggles in my years riding, from dragon, to eletric, to smith, to spy, to oakley with a huge variety of lenses (fire, pink iridium, persimmon, vr28, g30) and none of them come close to the high intensity amber polarized A-frames. the lens says for "changing conditions" on oakley's website, but i have used them in bluebird days, snowy days, white out days, and everything in between and they have worked wonders in all those conditions. i would recommend a pair to anyone, and as a bonus, they fit perfectly with most helmets

These goggles were sweet!! I got the VR28 - Polarized and skied last week where we had the brightest of days and the snowiest of days (14+ inches in one day alone!). These were versatile and I could see pretty clearly in all conditions. They did me better in the sun, but I never found myself blind in the snow.

I highly recommend them!!

p.s. I got the Khaki Military which are pretty cool, bc they have velcro change-out patches with the Oakley logo.

What is the difference between Hi Amber, Grey and VR 28 lenses?

Shane O'Donnell

Member since 
Responded on

The VR28 lens is for bright days, and they bring out any depth the sun hides and offer very little actual light protection for your eyes. The Grey is also for bright days, but without the enhanced depth. The HI Amber is for cloudy, overcast or whiteout days, where you need high depth increase in a lens.

are you asking about the jet black/hi amber colorway?...because if so, then the black is the color of the frame and the hi amber is the lense

Absolute glare reduction and contrast enhancement. And despite the "no eyeglasses" notation, I bought the A Frame because they were eyeglass compatible. I originally wanted the Crowbar which I found definately did not hold eyeglasses.

I love my Oakley A Frames. I had been riding with Smiths and Scotts, and just made the switch to Oakleys. I will never go back. They fit really well with my Red Helmet. Zero Gap. Like everyone says, they are so comfy and clear that you forget that you are wearing them. The air circulation is amaxing, they DO NOT FOG.
I got the HI Persimmon lens. It works really well and in average sun too and with mixed light in the trees. I can see all the variation of the snow and avoid the icey patches! It is ok with bright days... but I am thinking about getting a bright day replacement lens.

To get the frame and lenses I wanted I ordered a custom pair from Oakley for the regular retail price.

Basically. Worth the investment.
