Oakley Splice Goggle

Item #OAK2761 | 162 in Stock
3 Star Rating

nice but limited vision

By Ranked #1271 - Goggles January 7, 2010

Just got them in the mail and they fit smaller than I expected. I still have nose pinch (similar to Oakley Wisdom), but I think that's going to be a personal issue. The concept is nice, but not really original. Dragon Mace sort of applies the same anti-nose pinch structure to the frame and for me, the Dragon mace goggle fit much better. To compare range of vision, the easiest for me is to do the same technique when trying a new dive mask. Put it on, turn your head down and try to see your feet. I can see my feet and a lot of stuff on the sides when wearing the Dragon mace. I can more easily see the ground when looking around. This is not true for the splice. I put them on, look down and cannot see my feet. To me that's a problem because ultimately you want to easily see what you're riding over or through. Dragon Mace also fits much better with a Giro G10 helmet- no gaps, spaces etc. The Splice does not fill the goggle area of the helmet as well and actually pushes it up slightly for me. Again maybe a personal issue, but something to consider. I'm returning the Oakley splice and sticking to Dragon.
