Though I, too, was reluctant to make the $$$ purchase, I was recommended Oakley and found a good deal. I do have to say you will be satisfied with em--comfortable adjustable fit (fitting with or without helmet), good looking and durable. What I really wanted was a goggle that was best for flatlight and these were an improvement on my last pair.

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.

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.

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

The Polarized lens did wonders for cutting that blinding glare off snow/ice. Lens was dark enough to take the hit out of a bright day, but let enough light to still see clearly. Optically correct and great all around. One draw back is the fact that I have a small face and it was rather big.

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.

I have worn many goggles and none can compare to these. There is absolutely no glare. They are very comfortable and fit the face very well. I wear them with a helmet and they easily adjust without stretching beyond the point where it wont go back to normal. Fleece lining feels great in the heart of the winter. Damn expensive but well worth it.

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.

One of the best.

A friend recommended the Oakley A Frame Polarized Goggles over a year ago, however I was reluctant to spend $200 on goggles. That problem was solved with the great deal I got from here. These goggles are great for high light conditions but are also excellent for low light, flat light conditions. They seem to amplify the undulations in the snow. Great deal and product.
