a frame vs. crowbar - Snowboarding Forum

NLNick · 02-02-2011, 03:59 AM

I have been looking a while for some new goggles...

It just saw a 30% off at some oakley goggles; ambush, a-frame and crowbar.
What is the best one to get?

A-Frames! and where are they 30% off at?

Ignore the Ambush. Both a frame and crowbar are excellent goggles. The crowbar is a bigger fitting goggle-- fits on larger faces while the a frame is pretty standard fit.

Just depends on your face and what you like. Me personally I like smaller googles, I prefer not the goggles that take up half my face. Some of these goggles are just ridiculously big. Sure there is something to be said about peripheral vision, but A Frames give you plenty. I've been rocking mine for years and they work great.

Pretty happy with my Aframes. Just got a new set of lenses for them too.

A Frames have been on SAC a few times recently for $40.
