Another Solid Goggle

By Mr_Tidbit September 18, 2009

I've been a fan of Oakley ever since I got my first pair of M Frames on my 11th birthday in 1990. Their goggles have always been my go to since the O Frame was the it goggle that guys like JP Walker & Bjorn Leines were rocking in Mack Dawg's Decade.

I've been using the Crowbar for the past few seasons and there are some significant upgrades that make it worth upgrading to the splice. The first is that the new shape in the nose area gives you better peripheral vision looking down & the new shape acts kind of like a breathe right strip and opens up your nasal passage a bit more.

The new shape in the nose area also gives you a new lens that only has 5 contact points with the frame and is 100 TIMES easier to change lenses than any other Oakley Goggle. I personally didn't have a hard time with the Crowbars, but did change quite a few for some people that weren't too into it.

Lastly, the outriggers (the plastic pieces that connect the strap to the frame) have been moved back. So what that is going to do for you is give you more helmet compatibility and takes away the pressure that you sometimes get on your forehead when you where your goggles with a helmet.

If you're a fan of Oakley Goggles, the Crowbar in particular, it's a no brainier to upgrade to the Splice as you're going to get everything you love about the Crowbar and a few extras that are more than worth the upgrade.
