Bust apart defective eyewear, and put on the Oakley Crowbar Goggles with High Intensity Lenses for stellar vision on dark overcast days and in other low-light conditions. The Crowbar's amplified dimensions extend your range of available peripheral and downward vision. A High Intensity Plutonite lens with Oakley's patented XYZ Optics provides correction along three axes and enhances visibility in flat to low light conditions for astounding visibility across your entire field of vision. The Plutonite lens material also offers superior eye protection, blocking 100% of all UV. The Crowbar's ultra-flexible O Matter frame is contoured to facial geometry, offering a precise, comfortable fit enhanced by triple-layer polar foam. Rigid O Matter strap attachments yield a solid, draft-free seal. Oakley engineered the Crowbar to fit medium-sized faces.

Bottom Line: Call it the gray-day and night-skiing goggle.

I've liked them so far.

I've only had them out a couple of days but they seemed to perform well. I rarely use goggles and bought these to help with flat light. They are the best I have seen so far.

a vast improvement over the already excellent Wisdoms

By:

Oakley nailed this one. I had Oakley Wisdoms before and I still think they are excellent, but the Crowbars blow them out of the water.
The new suspension system on the sides of the goggle frame make the Crowbars extremely helmet-compatible right out of the box. (Wisdoms usually required a special helmet strap, sold separately.)
The field of vision - particularly peripherally - are even greater than the Wisdom's range of view. Going back to the Wisdoms felt stuffy after the nearly panoramic view of the Crowbars.
The fit seems more versatile than the Wisdoms. The Wisdoms were supposedly for larger faces while the Crowbars were more middle of the road. I found the Crowbars to fit my face far better than the Wisdoms though, despite my larger-than-average melon.
The only possible downside of the Crowbars is their appearance. If you have a small head, these goggles may just eclipse your face. Otherwise, I think these goggles look great, and they even fit in my jacket pocket more easily than my Wisdoms.
The steeper price for Oakley is definitely well-warranted and worth it if you're considering the Crowbar as your next goggle.

I bought the crowbar with H.I blue lens a while ago and its still rocking. It looks great and works good too. Only think I would like to say is: Don’t buy them, I want to be alone with them. BUY BUY BUY

Fit like the oakley a frames but they seem to fit a helmet a little better because of the strap placements. Also you can't beat the high yellow lens for low light. I would get these over A frames and oakleys other newer goggle.

Cat Crappers

By:
January 29, 2008

Got them and used them once and steamed up like windows on prom nite. GF cat crapped them and buffed them with my eyeglass chamois they scratched like it was going out of style.
Weak sauce.
For the price, i was expecting something much stronger.
Disappointed and am returning.
