 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi All,
I'm new to snowHeads.
I'm looking to buy some new ski goggles as lost mine last year. I quite like the look of Uller Helix goggles, but i can't find any reviews for them online. Does any know why this is? Does anyone here have these goggles? Does anyone have a better alternative of these for around £100?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Spam? Unknown brand least in UK/N America so almost anything else including the mighty Aldi and Lidl would be recommended above them

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

Ha! Thanks for the reply. Found them on a website called sportpursuit.com. I think they are a Spanish brand. Guess i'll steer clear.

I've been using Summit Goggles for the past couple of seasons - small UK brand with reasonable prces for goggles that have magnetic, interchangeable lenses. Worth looking at

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I'm a big fan of Summit Magnetic goggles, love having that other lens tucked away in the bumbag!

Wow! Lots of love for Summit goggles. Was expecting the usual suggestions of Smith, Dragon, Oakley, etc. Great to hear. Seriously looking at a some Summit Xpose II now

Take a look on sportpursuit, there are some pretty decent deals.

@GoblinGoblin, Are you planning on using goggles all the time with a helmet etc. Or just when conditions are bad?

Well, since you asked, Smith I/o chromapop on sportpursuit for £99. If you're in no rush, you can pick them up from amazon for far less. Includes 2 lenses.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

The Smiths on Sportpursuit are great goggles. 2 lenses etc. Do you have a link to where they are cheaper on Amazon?
Been a Smith user for a few years, got some chromapop lenses for trip to BC last year, and the yellow storm lens was used for all but one day, great in snow and flat light.

Definitely look at googles that have changeable lenses and come with a second lens, they will come with a low light lens and a bright light lens and there are a phew options for your price point. I will put another vote in for Smith goggles, i have a set of the £99 smith I/O's.

You know it makes sense.

@endoman, no link now. When I said, 'no rush', I was thinking August. That's when I picked up a pair of the magnetic for my son for 65. I must have bought my pair in March but that was from Glissop for 85.
SnoodlesMcFlude says he paid 36 via amazon for his. No guarantees these prices will be repeated of course, £99 is still a steal if you need them this season.

Went for the Summit Xpose II in the end with 15% off. Will probably end up losing them again this season
