 Poster: A snowHead

Hi,
Fancy goggles with rapid replaceable lens system. Anyone know where I can get a list of what models have this.
Recommendations also welcome.
Cheers Steve.

How rapid? My Oakley A Frames take about 20 seconds to swap around.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Smith I/O range.
On my second pair now, as both lenses in my first pair got too scratched (after a lot of abuse!) and it was cheaper to get a whole new set (Sportspursuit) than replace just the lenses. Went for exactly the same one again, no hesitation. I've changed the lenses (only twice!) on a chairlift, while wearing gloves, when conditions dictated.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Oakley Airbrakes. I saw some on sale on eyewearoutlet for about £80 with 2 lenses a week or so ago. There might be some left.

I'm pretty pleases with the Decathlon Mid Bones goggles, not strictly rapid replacable, but takes less than 30 seconds to change. £33 with S2 lenase and S1/S3 lenses currently available for £6 each. Also OTG which was a pleasnt surprise.

I was seriously considering the Summit Worldwide goggles but then my OH bought me Bolle Modulators. The Summit goggles were a cheaper option over the Anon M2 goggles which I was really impressed with. Both the frameless look and magnetic lenses looked great but too expensive... Summit appear to offer almost the same.

20 seconds is more than fine. I just want something I can swap out when the light goes flat, without resorting to screwdrivers or some such like.
I was hoping there might be a goggles seller online that has a 'replaceable lenses' filter.
Cheers
Steve.

+1'for summit googles. Just received a pair of xpose. Although not the magnetic - lenses are pretty easy to replace quickly

Interesting so many can change lenses so fast.
I'm obviously very cack-handed: even with the fancy Oakley Airbrakes it took me well over a minute.
So i have 2 pairs of googles

You know it makes sense.

Anon Magna Tech....The best goggles I have ever owned. So easy-I change the lens with the goggles still on my face! They just click in and out. Mr P has the M1 and I have the WM1.
