Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

ZEAL or OAKLEY goggles

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi,
i need new goggles - anybody had either the new Zeal ones with the camera there? or the Oakley Prizms or
My eyes always suffer and this time I will splash the cash if i can get something really good with changable lenses for example and a camera if it is good.
any thoughts/advise please?

You really need to try them on, as both the fit and your vision, will mean that one persons 'Best goggles ever', might pinch your nose, and let in too much light.

Having own practically every Oakley Google and lenses version, in my opinion the Prizm lenses are their best ever, except for when it's a whiteout, when the Hi-Yellow is best. I believe the Oakley Airbrake offers the easiest lenses swap in the Oakley range.

I've got the zeal ion camera, great camera, comfortable goggles. Lens is good in the sun, but a bit dark in flat light as expected. Apparently the new goggles have a better camera(impressive if they do) and the goggles are lighter. My personal opinion is that I wouldn't swap mine for a gopro, everybody is impressed with the quality and some haven't even known they've been filmed until the evening. Can't comment on the oakleys even though I swear by their lenses in sunglasses.

The Zeal HD2 is pretty smart, you can link it into your phone, tablet etc and control it from there to. They look a lot smarter and compact than the the original goggle. Theres a vid up on Zoe Gillings Facebook page so you can see the video quality there.

I use Oakley Canopys as I need an OTG goggle. Use Hi Yellow and it really does make one helluva difference for me - used persimmon for years before but I wouldn't go back now.

As for the camera? Personally I go for independent camera - gives you more flexibility to choose your shot rather than just a POV angle.

Quite a long thread on this under "flat light"...

I bought Prizms last year and found them absolutely fantastic for definition/contrast in low & flat light but also with hi UV (I'm short signted and not that young).
I have a small head/face (female) and was really surprised at their fit as normally all adult stuff is too big for me - but my OH, who is large and male, also found that they fit him well.

Thanks Grizzler - yeah the Primzs look great on the PR videos and to my current goggles they will be like actually seeing for the first time lol.
I decided to go with ZEAL and that camera - I always want to take some pics and vids but when I do I dont ski you just glide to the bottom behind someone. On the other hand the same with the ad hoc shots - this thing in theory will allow me to snap it straight away.
I think you all are right for the quality of contrast Oakleys would be better but I m a gadget boy Happy I ll test Zeals in January - fingers crossed they dont freeze too often!

I bought ZEAL GPS goggles from Sports Direct but they went back as they were much too small. They say they are a "medium" fit.
