Oakley Simon Dumont Signature Splice Goggle

This is a solid goggle to have in the arsenal. I have the fire lens and ski with it on those blue bird Utah days. Overall the goggle is great. I have a smith Variant helmet (L) and the strap on the goggle is pretty tight but there is still some room for stretch so it is not extremely tight on my face. The strap graphics are a little lame, would have been nice if they were straight red or solid red on black but that's minor. Overall if you have a larger size face go for the splice over the crowbar.

Oh my gosh, these are by far the sickest goggles ever. No nose pinch, more peripheal vision. Also it fits a lttle better than the crowbar with more helmets. The goggle basically looks like the crowbar but when you put it on and ride with it you will notice the difference in the overall quality, not to mention how insanely awesome you will look in it. So basically, you need this goggle. I guess the only bad thing about this goggle is that if you break it somehow which is like a .0001% chance then you will be sad pretty much forever.

I've worked in a ski/snowboard shop and have tried and owned many goggles and these by far are the best. No nose pinch and good peripheral. I used to wear the Oakley A-frames, but they don't fit so great with a helmet. These fit great with any helmet and i wear the Smith Holt. I got these with the fire lens and an extra H.I. yellow lens. Super easy to change out in comparison to the a-frames and crowbars.

I am on my second pair of these goggles. I get compliments every time i'm in lines or on the lift. Super comfy, and they look awesome. My biggest complaint is the fogging. Every single time I get to the bottom and wait in the lift line they fog up... every time. I have worn them with beanies, helmets, you name it....I've tried everything I can. As long as you keep moving these goggles are amazing!!!.. just don't stop!

The Good: These look amazing with my Smith Maze helmet and fit seamlessly, rarely fog (and only when I stop to breathe) and have decent visibility.

The Bad: They do pinch the top of my nose (unlike my Bolle and Brikos), and the frame is so far out it slightly blocks vision when looking down. I have to hold the bottom of the goggle off my nose to breathe.

The DL: These are pretty bardarss, the Fire lense is actually decent in all light conditions including flat light and they never fog when you're moving. I'll put up with the nose pinch and rally dusk til dawn with the Splice.

These are by far the best Goggles i've owned.
There perfect. they look sick and They feel good on your head

Usage: Snowboarding
Location: Only Tahoe so far, will update if used elsewhere (just got them)
Helmet: Yes

Summary: Got compliments on them while riding first chair of the day. Definitely sick looking goggles. Construction is impeccable, no excess glue visible, very stiff in the right places and bendable across the frame. There's no nose pinch, but there is nose pressure (that's the -1 star). I still had a bit more pressure than I'd like across the bridge of my nose and it would block airflow a bit. I'd pull them back off while riding chair back up and all was well. Peripheral vision is key here. You get more on the sides, but you still are aware of that inverted "V" right between your eyes. I'd considered the few other air force-pilot type options on backcountry (i think there's a POC and an Anon that take up half your face), but this had the nicest lenses of the bunch.

Originally got them in persimmon, but returned them for the iridium. Use the lens simulator on oakley.com to get an idea of what the difference is. The iridium is much better for bluebird skies and bright overcast, but I really began to lose contrast as the sun started going down.

Oakley Splice Goggles are probably my favorite goggles made right now. I don't love the dumont graphic, but I do like it a lot, probably like more than a friend. My favorite color is the new blue/orange and yellow/blue models. But this red is a pretty solid choice as well and I would not judge you for buying it.

The Oakley Splice goggle is the most optically correct lens on the market. It is as impact resistant as a pair of safety goggles, and the stiff bridge over the nose keeps your nose from getting clogged. What else could you possibly want?
