muikabochi 208 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 None. I wear sunglasses... don't go out in blizzards. Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 i still have my Alpinas I bought in a little shop in Nozawa 4 years ago. Built of sturdy stuff and still no scratches Link to post Share on other sites
nippontiger 8 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I wouldnt mind getting myself a pair of POC lobes, but Ive got other things I want to buy, unfortunately, so I guess Ill stick with my old Spy ones. Always a good idea to have a spare pair in the pocket when out in snowy conditions! Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Wow those Anons look good!! Link to post Share on other sites
anything 6 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 im a real fan of my zeal goggles. they automatically adjust to the light conditions - "photochromic" takes a few minutes to change (so suddenly entering dense trees can be a challenge), but means theyre my go-to goggles weather its sunny, overcast or blizzardy. and depending on the lighting, sometimes even ok for night skiing. they only thing they don't change to very well is ultra low light conditions. eg, 3pm in the shadow of the mountain.

Sciclone 2 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Still rocking my Oakley Wisdom Ducati's... I will probably get a new pair after this trip. My brother bought a set of Dragon APX's (Frameless) Link to post Share on other sites
nippontiger 8 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 How about a pair of these.....?! http://www.outdoorgb.com/p/Zeal_Optics_Transcend_GPS_Goggles/?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=directory&utm_content=GBR¤cy=GBP&country=GBR&SelectedBundle=171911&gclid=COqJ99W87KwCFQklpAodGByNJg Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 still with my splices. Though this year i decided id have a pop at actually trying some goggles on. I tell you what, the Electric EG2s are gorgeous. Unlike with the splices, they feel really good and dont put pressure on the bridge of your nose (i have a pretty small nose). Im sorely tempted to switch out, but my oakleys were freaking awesome last year even though i cant stand to look at my face in them Function over form at the end of teh day. They work, i aint switching out until i absolutely have to Link to post Share on other sites
ju87 0 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 still rocking my Oakley A-Frames with HI yellow lenses. got a new pair of Von Zipper Fishbowls... they're ridiculously huge but the peripheral vision is amazing. looking forward to trying them out in about a week's time Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 How about a pair of these.....?! http://www.outdoorgb...CFQklpAodGByNJg Ye Gads!! Look at the price of those - I can buy skis for that Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 That's Y52,000 for goggles I can get a five-day ski package to Niseko for that! Or as Snowjunky said a new pair of skis (and bindings)! Or almost flights for two round trip (less fuel surcharge) to Whistler or Tahoe! And I don't want to know how fast I'm skiing because it would probably scare me too much. Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 This what I am wearing tonight Link to post Share on other sites
nippontiger 8 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 yeah, 52K for goggles is somewhat mental! Actually theres a pair at 27k on yahoo auction now, but still.... For all that data you get with those goggles, Ive got a 500 yen iphone app that does it all and Id rather check that kind of stuff later than be distracted while out in the snow!

provide 3 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 does anyone use the over glasses style goggles? i wear glasses permanently and have struggled with contacts and normal goggles in the past but went goggle shopping the other day and discovered thry make the over glasses style. i tend to exude a lot of heat from my face and head but i've never skiied in super cold conditions (will be in niseko in feb) and i'm worried about my glasses fogging up inside the goggles...

foreversnow 5 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Sticking with my Smith IOS - I love them Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 provide, I struggled with OTG goggles for years before finally giving up. They'll fog, end of story. Electric heat elements, dual fans, whatever, they'll fog. I ski half-blind just in goggles w/o glasses -- if it's a good Niseko day you can't see for all the face shots anyway Link to post Share on other sites
