Oakley Splice Goggle

Feeling pressured? Could be your goggles. The Oakley Splice combines patented, distortion-free XYZ Optics with a pressure-eliminating frame design to help you breathe, see, and perform better than ever. Until now, most goggles have relied on the classic 'raccoon-eyes' frame shape that accommodates a range of face and nose shapes, but that can create unwanted pressure on the nose bridge, restricting breathing and causing discomfort. To eliminate this, Oakley's team of learning computers designed a frame that arches completely over the nose, using your cheekbones for support and filling the gap with super-soft triple-density face foam. The result, in short, is a super-comfortable goggle that maintains all the amazing range of vision and clarity you expect from Oakley. But don't believe the hype; try them and find out for yourself.

  • Flexible O-Matter frame remains pliable in any temperature
  • F3 Anti-fog coating eliminates the steam-room cloud
  • Outrigger strap mounts distribute strap pressure evenly to the face with or without a helmet
  • New for 2010/11: integrated attachment points for Oakley Splice Bandito removable face mask

Bottom Line: Living proof that goggles can evolve.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

These goggles are perfect. I have two polished white ones, one with Fire Iridium and one with Blue Iridium, and those two lenses do a good job tackling any light conditions I may run into. They are obviously not the easiest goggles to remove the lenses from, but considering the frame they have, they are pretty darn good. Goggles like the IO have easy interchangeability, however, the lens is completely exposed, while these have the frame to brace impacts on the edges. On top of the quality optics you get from these, they just look cool so get some for yourself.

The frame is behind the lens, It still takes the impact. It actually resist more impact because the lens goes all the way to the edge then has the frame behind it. As opposed to the traditional styles and its only sits about half way in the frame and not all the way to the edge. Just saying I've eaten it and been fine, my friend fell with splices and the "splice" part by the nose jammed down into his upper lip and took about and inch long chunk out of his face.

Love them! Fire Lenses. Got them the first of last week and took them out on friday and saturday. Friday was bright and sunny and they were great and didn't strain my eyes at all. Saturday was well below zero so I was bundled up pretty good which caused my breathing to go up into my goggles and they didn't fog at all. My buddy doing the same thing had to take is goggles off because they were too fogged to see through. Comfortable and look great!

they are a large goggle- i am a little bit shorter than you and they cover a lot of face. But they look awesome and do not look that big or dorky or anything at all. if u wear them with no helmet or beanie they might look a little large, but if you ask me, it's way cooler to have a big goggle than to have some cheap,tiny thing. They are rad.

I've used these goggles for 4 days and I absolutely love them. I have a HUGE head so I need a pair that will fit. Well here they are. But best of all they're sleek so they won't look big to the point where your face is 90% goggle. They are great on the nose so that you can still breathe. Absolutely love them. Highly recommend them. For anybody. Oh and I hear this word fogging going around. What is that? Never heard of or experienced it.

Are these googles helemt compatidible with the smith variant brim helmet? I love the design of the gogs but I want to make sure before I purchase them that they will fit correctly. Also, do these goggles fog up a lot? I do a lot of backcountry skiing and I have to hike to get up to the trail and will they fog up if I have them on my face while I sweat and breath? because I have owned a pair of goggles before that did this and I really didnt like them, they were a pair of smiths and I am hoping the oakley splices wont do this.

great goggle

By:
September 21, 2011

I got these last season, because when i saw them i thought i probably wouldnt get my nose pinched with such a wide nose piece. Well that was the case, these goggles dont pinch my nose at all, and thats rare, because usually all goggles do. They also fit my face perfectly i have a pretty small face and there not to big. You can see perfectly with no distortion from the spherical lens. If you want a great goggle with great breath ability, oh ya the breath ability is amazing, these things never fog up on me. If you want a great goggle get these there the best.

Oakley Splice Goggle

By:
April 22, 2012

I am very disapointed by the lens quality of this pair of googles. The Lens Tinting is very uneven. It is dark in the center of the goggle lens and light on both sides. This causes very distinct vision changes as you change your focus point while skiing. It means that one eye looks through a dark lens while the other looks through a light lens, which is disconcerting. This is the first Oakley product I have purchased and I do not recommend them.

I've been thinking of getting some new goggles for a while now. Have had the crowbars for 2 seasons now, and they are incredible. Would like to try something with a bigger lens, and larger viewing area. Thinking of the Oakley Splice goggles, the new Oakley Airbrake goggles, or the EG2's by Electric.

Has anyone had any experience with any of these?

Thanks

If you are really concerned with field of vision go with the EG or the VZ fishbowl. But the splice and air brakes are a "nicer' goggle.

Absolutely Amazing!

By:
December 8, 2011

I bought these goggles because I don't seem to have a very big head. So when ever I put goggles on with a helmet they felt like they were sliding down off my face. With the nose cut out being shaped the way it is I feel like there is nothing touching my nose. The field of vision is also great, better than the A Frames, and in my opinion as good or better than the crowbars. The clarity of the optics is also unmatched by any other brand. Fogging hasn't been a problem like it had been in the past with the A Frames I had previously owned.

I highly recommend these goggles to anyone.

By:

These are a great pair of goggles, they look good, fit well and it takes a lot to get them to fog up. Awesome clairity in any condition. You really can see very well with these. I guess that's kind of obvious, being Oakley, but it's not just all hype. Oakley knows their optics. Fully adjustable and can fit helmets pretty easily. If you're thinking of getting a pair I would definatly suggest these.

I work for Oakley so I've handled both a lot, not to mention I ride with both. Honestly, it's really not a noticeable difference. They both have great rating and are by far the most popular. Splices have a sharper look to them, hence "Splice", so I'd be looking for what fits better and feels more comfortable or what looks better. Performance wise they're both great.

enough said.
Only one thing wrong with them- the lens is a little hard to put back in but I think i'll get the hang of it, and besides, if that bothers you so much, buy the oakley airbrakes, which is one step up from the splices. I would recommend getting two lenses and the facemask that fits into the goggle and you will have the sweetest goggle setup ever.

I work for Oakley, and both are good lenses. It comes down to more of a preference. Personally I think the pink iridium looks a lot better with the mirror finish and all and I also like the way it looks when viewing through it. And now that I think about it I rode with Pink Iridium last season and it was better than the persimmon because it was light enough for overcast days but still okay if the sun pops out.

Darn nice goggles

By:
February 25, 2012

These are excellent goggles. I got the marine blue with black iridium lens and swapped the red strap for a black one, which looks very cool now. It's cool that you can customize the outriggers and strap for a unique look. They're the most comfortable goggles I have worn and fit nicely with my helmet. The lens is very clear and you have to really work at it to get these to fog, and even then it goes away quickly. Just looking at the lens, you can tell the quality. It's much thicker than most goggle lenses, and is more rigid. The field of vision is good. Highly recommended. Not that these things need another positive review...

Nothing better than Splice (So Far)

By:
October 25, 2011

I had one pair which I lost last year along with my entire gear bag (Shattered Splice w/ Fire). I loved them so much, that I since replaced them with two other pairs and have been very impressed. My old Smiths just kept fogging up on those snowmobile rides that I had to find something else and accidentally came across the Splice.

Anyone who has been at high speeds on a snow machine know what I am talking about when it comes to fogging and very cold temps. These things simply do not fog at all and fit great in my MX/Snowmobiling helmet and are very comfortable. Fire Iridium was a great choice, but now use Pink Iridium for day and HI Yellow for night/low light. You will not be disappointed with the Splice one bit

They're probably polarized bro, it'll be etched in on the right side of the lens "Polarized." And If they are Polarized get rid of the lens sell it or throw it away and get non polarized.
*Incase you or anyone doesn't know*
So we all know what Polarization does, and the ONLY thing it does is eliminate "white glare." Also Polarization will always make the lens a little darker for the user. However, little do people know: Everyone wants the best. Yes Polarized lens's are sweet...Except when your riding down a hill and don't see a patch of "white glare" in front of you. So you black out and wake up in a hospital. Turns out that "white glare" that you eliminated, eliminated all chances of seeing a slick ice patch in front of you. Which is literally what polarization is supposed to do, but its not a good idea on the mountain unless you're riding pure back country powder with no groomers or compressed snow (compression forms ice).

Just a heads up. I ride in the rockies so its not as big of a problem but on the East coast...F that. Also, if you too ride in the west on large busy mountains, you know that clipping someone or falling up there is more than just getting back up. People are benched for the season, get passes clipped, are scared out of riding, or even death.

I have an emerald iridium lens on my Crowbars, and it works surprisingly well in all conditions. It cuts the bright sun pretty well and is contrasty enough for flat light and low visibility days as well. I have other pairs of Oakleys with Fire, Hi intensity yellow, and Persimmon lenses, and I haven't needed them since I got the Emerald lens (except for a couple night sessions, then I used the yellow ones).

Get the Smith I/O. The frame is designed to change lens in a matter of seconds, and comes with a low light and high light lens. Also, new to this season is the Oakley Airbreaks. They look a little better and I believe Oakley is far better. Nonetheless I wear I/Os. Airbreak design is very nice and sleek. But the "user view" isn't as big as the goggle makes it look. You have less of a view than the Oakley splice. But I like my I/Os more than my Splices

Poke around a bit. They give a description of all of their lenses and what light level they are good for. Iridum is for bright sunny days. The persimmon are for low light days like when it is snowing.

You should consider getting a least two lenses for different conditions. They change out super easy.

Design to not pinch your nose pinches your nose

By:
February 29, 2012

The design Oakley has to not pinch your nose actually ended up pinching my nose a lot, making it tough to breathe. And I have a very normal-sized nose. There's a ton of foam padding around the bottom that makes them stick off your face a bunch, limiting the downward vision (not cool when looking down a cliff), and that's what restricted breathing out of my nose a lot. This is all being said while wearing a Bern hard hat helmet. Without the helmet, and hat only, they fit great. I usually rock A-frames, and sent back the splices in lieu of A frames for the pinching reason. Plus A-frames are a lot cheaper

The pink iridium might be a little to dark for low light. I would say Fire Ir. for bright light and H.I. Yellow for low light.
If you aren't night skiing or storm skiing i think your choices would be fine.
I have a Persimmon lens for low light and plan on buying either a black or fire iridium lens for bright light. I would use H.I. yellow for low light but two $75 lenses would be too expensive for me. :-)

Got the one with the iridium lenses. Great for bright days. I also got the Persimmon for low light. Lenses are super easy to change. I have a large face and find the splice to be slightly narrow around the eyes. But not too much that it affects my vision. No nose pressure. And no fogging problems. Would buy again.

THE whole doesn't pinch the nose is true, breathing is that much easier. Don't fog up except when hiking and sweating hard but thats normal, Great fit, comfortable and worth the price.

Either or will work. It just depends on the style you are looking for. There is not much difference between the two once you have them on. Grey works better in overcast days though.

The Grey allows 10% light transmission and the Fire iridium allows for 15% light transmission. If this is for super bright days.. Grey is the way to go.. Fire would be good for Bright to med days when it is a bit overcast.

Great goggles, super comfortable. I have the fire iridium lenses and they work great on bright days, i wouldn't get this lens if you don't have low-light goggles/lenses. Never had a problem with fogging either.

what helmet would everyone recomend? do these goggles fit better

what helmet would everyone recomend? do these goggles fit better with or without brimmed helmets? I have crowbars and the smith variant brim helmet, and the helmet bounces just a little on the goggles, not a perfect fit, do the splices have the same problem? thanks.

The crow-bar and the splice have almost the exact same fit in a helmet. I use both the crow-bar and splice and use a RED Hi-Fi Helmet and it feels the same.

Hi Kyler, I have used both the Crowbar and Splice, but only on brimless helmets. I have found it easier and more practical. I vary my use of helmets between the following brands: RED / Pro-Tec and POC. Hope this helps?

May not fit all large heads/faces

By:
August 30, 2011

I really wanted these goggles to work out for me, but they were too small for my face. Even though this is supposed to be Oakley's large size goggle, the outer edges of the foam face seal touched the outer corners of my eyes. Very disappointing. The pair of Arnette goggles that I need to replace didn't have this issue for me. This may be a problem for only those with a giant melon like me (I can't wear one-size-fits-all ball caps, they sit up on my head like a beanie). Otherwise the design of the goggle was attractive, but had to return them due to the fit issue

You could also check out your local gear store; I know mine will just swap their frames to whatever lens/frame combination I'm looking for.

Hey Konstantin,

As far as I know they were never available with those lens. The Navy Mint Block Text came with either Black Iridium or H.I. Yellow. Your best bet is to just buy the frame and lens separately.

The splice will have a better peripheral view for ya man and the slpices are wider around the nose so they don't have the problem of your nose being pinched if you have had that in the past go with the splices but other then that they are both awesome goggles and you can't really go wrong whichever you choose

Neither goggle is "better"- the splice is slightly wider and was designed to reduce the nose pressure that some people feel from the crowbars. Personally, I prefer the crowbar fit. Your best bet is to find a shop that stocks both and try them on, everyone's head/ face is different.

Great Goggle

By:
February 9, 2011

I just recently used this on a small ski trip and loved the goggle. I chose the persimmon lens and it worked great on a moderately sunny to overcast day.

As day turned to night there was a section of the resort that wasn't lit very well and I had trouble seeing through the goggle there but under good lighting these worked great even at night.

Fog: Worn all day mixing between a lot of heat (coming off me) to cool areas in and out of the ski resort my goggled didn't fog up once where others were having issues.

overall great goggles and great lenses!

Bought the Splice as replacement for my old a frame. Bought it with the fire lens and I must say, WHAO amazing. Tried it out first time last week in a very sunny StAnton and I just loved them. I have a R.E.D helmet and they fit perfect. Can only say buy them if you need new ones!

Great Goggles!

By: Backcountry.com Employee
September 8, 2010

These goggles really are some of the best goggles I have ever used. These are a slight improvement over the Oakley Crowbars. The lenses are the most optically correct lenses of any brand on the market, and the added height of the lens on this model gives the user a larger field of view. The goggle also has a stiff bridge over the nose to help with breathing. It helps your nose not to get clogged on cold days as easily. The added vents probably allow for less fogging, but I have no empirical data to back up that claim. If you are debating these between crowbars...buy both!

the fire iridium lenses from the inside tone out alot of the light but wherever you point your eyes you see a different color
is this how it is with all of them?

joe, id have to day that persimmon is the best all around. it will work fine in bright day conditions protecting your eyes, but lets in more than enough light to allow you to night ski easily

All of the lenses are super high quality, iridium is mostly aesthetic if you want that, I have blue iridium which I like, although its not as iridescent as fire iridium. If you don't want iridium, or you are skiing in low light, you would be better of with one of the "H.I" options.

The regular amber lenses work great but I find blue iridium works well in a variety of conditions. Pink iridium is awesome in cloudy and dark conditions while fire lens is my favorite in bright light.

I just rode at killington in the bright sun with these goggles with fire iridium lenses and i have to say, they are the best goggles i have ever worn. They are super comfy, the extra space for my nose helps me breathe, and, not that i would recommend this, you can basically look into the sun with the fire iridium lenses and not destroy your eyes. i got the pink lenses too for flat light and/or night skiing, and changing lenses is really easy. these are sick goggles!!

Great Goggles!

By: Backcountry.com Employee
June 22, 2011

I got a pair of these for free on the opening day at the Canyons Mountain Resort in Park City Utah in December 2010. They are nice goggles and fit well. There is no nose pressure which is super nice, but it seemed that the nose area is a little higher than other goggles so I could constantly see the nose padding while boarding. I usually wear Women's goggles because I have a small face so my problem might have been that these Splice goggles were to big for me so I had to wear them higher on my head. I gave them to my dad because they were free and he loves them! My brother also has a pair and he has no complaints with them.

the wide nose on the splice doesn't give you that "pinchy" feeling that other goggles tend to do. the out-riggers help the goggles fit into most any helmet, and the SICK colors from Oakley make these goggles a must have!

Very small. Narrow field of view. Design did not alleviate nose bridge pressure. Admittedly durable construction but look cheap up close. I am sticking with the Oakley A Frame.

Have to say your review just doesn't jive bro. These are much wider in the nose and facial region than the "A Frames." As for periphreal they are definitely excellent. Cheap up close? Same quality and engineering Oakley is legendary for so buy with confidence my friends!
