For Sale: Oakley Splice Goggles 2014

AlternateID

These are my 2014 goggles which I no longer need as I've replaced them. There are some scuff marks on the lens which I've tried to capture in the second photo but aren't noticible through the lens at all. Other lenses are available to buy but persimmon was the all rounder I went for.

Looking for €80. Collection only.

Fattes

Probably the finest googles on the planet and great value at that price if anyone is looking, Fair play AlternateID offering them at such a good price

Provisionally sold.

What did you replace them with? Out of interest.

I have a pair of Oakley Splice too, love them. Wouldn't even realise I'm wearing them most of the time.

AlternateID

2015 splice prizm rose. I must of almost bought them a dozon times over the last few weeks. Should I - shouldn't I. Eventually I hit the purchase button. They look so good I don't want it them them out of the box.

I went for the same lens as well! really looking forward to trying them out. I'm upgrading from the Bolle Modulator which has served me reasonably well over the last few years. I'm expecting big things from the prizm though, hopefully it lives up to the hype.

AlternateID

yikes!

I got the Prizm Rose replacement lens on offer from the UK for the Crowbar, simple enough to change the lens, I bought into the marketing hype but at least I have the persimmon as a backup!

If anyone has tried them out let me know how you get on... Sitting watching a snowboard movie with them on doesn't really count haha

I can empathise fully, yesterday I put a bid on a snowboard on eBay, fully expecting to be outbid straight away, which never happened. In 43 minutes time I could be the proud owner of a new Arbor Element board.

I've no idea what I was doing placing the bid, I was more than happy top wait until next season and buy the board at a knocked-down price.

If anyone sees a high intensity yellow crowbar lens give me a shout, I have a fire iridium lens that i love but want something high contrast as well.

Haha it happens us all, with a new 'season' (1-2 weeks of snowboarding for me) comes endless thoughts and research of new gear I clearly don't need. I've yet to buy any new clothing but already purchased bindings and new lens for googles that I clearly don't need....

I got my Prizm Rose from here at 56e, shop in Edinburgh I think. They have the HI Yellow too:

Love the wood top sheet. Would really like to try one out.

You could order from oakley.com. I want a prizm black myself and then I'm going to stop shopping.

Cancelled it, thankfully the seller allowed me to. Turns out the one I had purchased was the 13/14 board, the one I meant to get was the 14/15 board. Lovely looking board, yeah, and it seems to get great reviews. I like that the tips have extra flex and the body is stiffer in the latest model.

Oh stop! In the last month or two I've bought new bindings, spring jacket, GoPro pole, gloves, and almost a new board. And yet the only part of my kit that actually needed replacing was my pants.:pac:

Good prices there but they don't have the one I want.

My list of unnecessary purchases includes a board, helmet, goggles, gloves, move gloves, bags, jacket, skull candy yet I have all of it except the candy.

Cheers, 65 which is 10 better then Oakley but haven't checked shipping yet

It's like an itch that needs scratching. I bought the 2015 board just a minute ago, woohoo

The Arbour? Dare I ask the price. Think I said this before but all new boards seem really expensive this year. 100 - 200 more than last year.

Yep, the Element! http://arborcollective.com/snowboards/products/element/

Lovely! All the reviews for it are great.

It was €550, including shipping, coming from within the EU. Best price I had found anywhere, by far (when you inc. shipping, tax etc).

You know before my wife does, but I've prepared my defense already - in that she'd come to terms with me accidentally bidding on that other one on eBay, so this is really much of the same thing, again.

Have a look here. I was looking for a hi yellow lens for my splice last year and got another pair of splice with the hi yellow for cheaper than I could buy the lens on its own.

I would recommend the pink iridium lens! Its probably the best lens they do for all round viz and low light.

Have the Pink Iridium lens in my Splices and just back from boarding in the US. There was a snowstorm (:D) the few days I was out and they performed very well in some very low visibility towards the top of the mountain. It would be interesting to know if the new lens would have been much, if at all, different.

Rew

Im assuming Pink is meant to be more all round versus the yellow being low vis only?

AlternateID

This is a very rough list of the sort of order. Starting with low light to blue bird.

Yellows
Persimmons
Pinks
Blues
Golds
Blacks

There are others but most drop in in the middle. Greens and mixed colours. I've never tried a yellow and am eager to try out my rose prizm as it covers bottom to middle range.

Fattes

Rew wrote: »

Yeah its more an all round lens but it is more geared towards low light and mid light conditions. obviously not as good as the Yellow permission in white out but pretty good and better in all other conditions and much more versatile.

Rew

Im happy with me Fire Iridium 70% of the time so I think ill grab the Yellow to cover the rest

Fattes

Yeah depends where you ski and your own eye vision/perception! We get an awful lot of low light here and in N.America where I ski most myself so the Pink is an essential!

Happy shopping

That's the plan but I'm hoping there'll be more options than that

I learned to ski there 12 years ago and haven't been back since. Really looking forward to it.

Did you get the AllStar Season pass? (thought I saw you mention it in a previous thread...)

Do you know what trains are included in the pass? Didn't find much info on it on the website, just going by other forums

AlternateID

I have a snowcard giving me access to most of tirol. No trains as far as I know but I'll have a car.

Just in time for Christmas

AlternateID

Nice. Very nice.

Great set of goggles. Worked a treat last week. Cheers.

No problem. You may of spotted in another thread I had to buy another persimmon lens as my new splice were muck. Oakley have them now for testing.

I spotted an Arbor the other day too. Looked very nice.

The same model?

Am looking forward to getting mine on the slopes next Sunday!

Although the waist on the Arbor is narrower than on my old board, so there is more of an overhang from my boots. Which necessitated a new pair of boots with a smaller footprint.

That's it though, I swear. I'm not buying anything else.

Rew

That reminds me, I bought the prizm rose for my crowbars in the end over the hi yellow. They look great cant wait to get them on the snow.me

Perhaps a hat?

Looked like the same board but I didn't get a close look.

I did the boots 2 years ago with the smaller footprint. I then had to get new bindings. Dropped from large to medium. Boots are awesome fit though so worth it.

I'm sure your prizm will be fine Rew. Must get onto Oakley about mine.

What type of boots did you get? I ended up with Burton Moto and Salomon F4 on my shortlist, I bought the Burtons, but the Salomon look pretty damned nice.

AlternateID

Burton ambush.

Moto are very good. The f4 look fierce complicated.

32 days to go. I'm so bored.

Part of their attraction! Lots of fancy words for the bits and pieces too, uni this, multi that. I wouldn't be surprised if they were made of space age polymers.

5 days to go for me!
