Goggles with helmet, glasses with a hat. I tend to ski in the dead of winter when light is low, so always go for amber lens.

I wear goggles most of the time but if its clear blue skys i wear glasses but i really want one of these ..seen them in snow and rock

depends on the time...last year i went at the start of jan and wore glasses for the week...i have big ones so they were fine but i always had my goggles with me...which came in handy when my boyfriend needed them cause his glasses only literally covered his eyes...they were Oakley minute 2s (or something along those line) and they were doing nothing for him!!!

I invested in a set of Smith goggles this summer winter. My previous pair didn't have replaceable lenses which is why I got the new ones and with one day it being gloomy rain and skiing on the south slopes and the next being bright sunshine and in the ski field on the north slopes of a different mountain I needed to be able to switch lenses to see what I was doing.*

Southern hemisphere so sunny slopes and seasons are back to front.

I'm never buying Oakley's again. Last pair I had broke when I put a pair of gloves on top of them. I swear. AND I never managed to get them replaced. So now I buy the Lidl cycling shades with the interchangeable lens for less than a fiver, and they do just as good a job, but without breaking and without me worrying about replacing them if they break.

Oakley have a life time garuntee on all products, if you send it back to their service center they will replace it or ifyou have broken them they will repair them for about €60 no matter how you broke them.

Good luck with that. I never managed to get a repair or replacement. I went back to the shop where I bought them and was told they were over a year old (only barely) and that was the end of that. Nothing about repair or replace.

Try this number 00441462475400 its Oakleys customer service center. allot of Irish stores are very poor when it comes to customer service and the products they are selling.

Had a pair of Juliets that I scratched and because the lense degraded Oakley replaced it even though I damaged them. Had the foam replaced on my goggles as I had torn them coming out of a heavy apres session all free of charge.

I have lost count of hte number of nose rubbers I have ordered for my M frames again no charge.

I hate wearing my goggles and will only resort to them when it is chucking it down with snow and very flat light. I just dont like wearing them and find them awkward.

I love wearing my Oakley Hi-jinks though and like to keep them on as long as I can!

I've always worn glasses up to now, because I have polarised prescription lenses in a pair of bolle sunglasses and I'm not a contact-lens person.

This year, I'm giving serious thought to trying out disposable lenses, and getting a decent set of goggles.

I have Oakley Sunglasses and Goggles (see attached).


I've had the sunglasses since 2002 and have used them on about a dozen ski trips and love them, one tiny scratch, that's all.
I've had the goggles for about 5 years and they are magic, never fog up, and I have worn them a lot in recent years due to all the deep powder skiing.
The goggles were pretty expensive but well worth the money.

For those of you with both goggles and shades- do you wear helmets? And if so, do you wear your sunglasses with your helmet? The reason I ask is that i would rather not buy 2 lenses for my goggles and so when its sunny, i will just wear the glasses. I always thought it looked funny though....

I just bought a pair of these Dragon DX Snowgoggles Jet / Amber Ionized. 75Euro. cant stand glasses. they wont sit right on my crooked head

I_luv_2_ski!
