BAMF Goggles

These goggles rock! I got the pink lenses with the ghost text pattern and I don't think I've ever gotten so many looks due to one article of gear. The vision is superb and the field of view is incredible. The big complaint with a lot of Oakley gogs is that they pinch your nose and are small for people with large faces/heads. My face is on large end of the spectrum and these things fit great! The nose channel is the opposite of restricting. One of my friends is an Oakley Rep and describes them as a "breathe-right" strip for your face. I couldn't describe them better.

These goggles kick ass. These are my 1st pair of oakley goggles and I am impressed. They were extremely comformtable - didn't even feel like I was wearing anything after a while. They never fogged up and were a perfect fit with my R.E.D helmet. The lens I got had brilliant vision in all light conditions.
If you're not wearing a helmet, a word of warning, they do look extremely big on the face.
Highly recommended.
Quick Lens Change
Grete Eliassen
Member since
This goggle is awesome because Oakley designed it so the lens is really easy to change. Someone timed me once before I even changed the lens before on the Splice and it took me about 5 seconds to do it. So if you are looking for a high performance goggle but you change your lenses a lot. This is the goggle for you.

How easy is it to change the lens out. Is it something you can do quickly on the hill if conditions change? Or is it more involved?
Member since
Its quite simple to pop these puppies out..you essentially push the frame apart from the lense, start on the top to remove and the nose when putting in a fresh lense (first time it will be a lil bit difficult) but gets easier from then on. There is a link on youtube of how to do that..if you're still puzzled when you have them in hand..check that out.

Here is a sweet link to see what your various Oakley lenses have to offer. Its my favorite spot before I pick a new lenses, The Black Iridium looks like it will filter the most light for extreme sun reflection but you should check it out!

What glacier are you going to? You need probably two. One for bright sun (fire lens) and then a low visibility lens.

I would Definitely go for the Fire Iridium at LEAST! I used them going down the Vallee Blanche in Chamonix, France.. But as Grete said, in case its cloudy or whatever, get something that will work good in different light settings.. I have Fire Iridium for sunny days, H.I yellow for foggy/snowy/night skiing, and H.I persimmon for forest skiing (as I'm not afraid to scratch em)

I was wondering about these fitting with a SkyCap 2 helmet. I have a pair of wisdoms now and was wondering how it would compare?

Great fit, although narrower than I expected. Still have great peripheral vision and good airflow. Fogging wasn't a problem in wet near-freezing and subfreezing temps. Kids have no problem finding me on the mountain (I have the kaleidoscope block w/ fire lens). As expected from Oakley, the optics are fantastic - see every detail on the slopes with these goggles!
Great Goggle

Got the black iridium lens which i found to be absolutely perfect for any conditions. These things hardly ever fog and if they do, just remove them for your face for a second and they clear right up. No nose pinch, they are kinda big, so make sure your helmet fits them without any gaper gap (my fits perfectly with the smith maze). Got caught in a huge blizzard at Vail and while I'll my friends were complaining they couldn't see a damn thing, to me it looked as though it was blue bird...

I'm looking into picking up a pair of these & i don't have the funds to pick up multiple lenses.
So with that said, whats the most versatile oakley snow goggle lense out there? Is it the VR28?
Thanks!
Niall MacRae
Member since
The VR28 and Persimmon, Pink Iridium, HI-Intensity Persimmon and VR50 lenses are probably the lenses that would be considered all-round lenses. They cut enough light to hack it on bluebird days, and let enough light to deal with most flat-light days. The VR28 and Persimmon are the bread-and-butter basic lenses without much style. The Pink Iridium and the VR50 Emerald Iridium are probably the steeziest and most high performance of the bunch, but you pay more. Hope that helps.

sweet digs, fit my face well, no more watery eyes. Got the VR50 lens and its perfect for day time boarding. No fogging, comfy and they get all the looks, that's whats good. After biffing it hard a few times this season in the park, causing them to be thrown from my head or being filled with snow, these gogs have withstood my tests and still work like a dream.

asianplaye1141488
Member since
The splices were awesome, very comfortable and great peripheral. However, I am asian, and with the reduced nose pressure just means more of a gap there,but its not to bad, its still very comfortable. Another thing is that the nose ridge does go up rather high and does block a little bit of vision unless you ride the goggle kinda low on your face. Overall though, they are great goggle, just kinda wished for me that i special ordered.

I do not like goggles to begin with so please keep this in mind. I am a full time ski instrcutor and wear oakley sunglasses all day long. I purchased these goggles for the snowmaking and snow days when teaching. I have worn them once during a snow storm and found them very comfortable and fit nicely with my Giro helmet. They did not fog up once the entire day. The only drawback with them was in flat light the goggle did not help at all, it actually made it harder to see or contributed more to the flat light. If you can change the lense to an amber for flat light I would. I would recommend them to anyone in the market for a good goggle just use good sense on what you need them for.

Member since
Yep these are some jewels and here is why. No tears or caked up teared up lenses at speed. I have the Pink Iridium lense w/gloss white frame. Have been a Smith fan forever and own Prodigy's, Fuses, and the Phenom. They all tear up maybe even the Splice will in time but so far after 3 days of chargin they have not. I wore mine with a beanie. They fit inside a G-10 helmet perfect where a Prodigy won't. Have to give the nod to the Sensor lense from Smith on super flat days but I'll be ownin a pair of the H.I. yellow from Oakley soon to compare. These Pink Iridim worked well from the dark shaded areas or even some flat light (not soup) to mixed sun/cloud.
Just absolutely fantastic goggles
Tyler B
Member since
I absolutely love these, i had some older Smiths which were good, but i decided it was time to really get a good pair of goggles. I chose these and they are just amazing, so comfortable and let me breathe just wonderfully. They also fit my Giro G10 awesome. Very happy with this purchase, used em on some small slopes, but cant wait to get out to utah and really put these to the test.
