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 :-)

Scott Fix photochromatic replacement lenses
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

I have a 6 year old pair of Scott Fix ACS goggles that I love but the lense is now pretty scratched. It appears that I can get replacement a replacement lense through Snowinn for about £40. Anyone have any experience with these guys?
In the humble opinion of the Snowheads massive am I better off buying a new pair of goggles than trying to save £50 or so by just replacing the lense? Smile

As an aside , how have you got on with the photochromatic lens ?

I am contemplating a new Salomon helmet which has an option of a photochromatic lens and wondered how good they are these days?

I have been using Oakley prism (a sapphire lens for sunny days and a hi pink for low light) but the faff of changing them and the problems caused on days where it is mixed weather can be a pain…

I think the performance of the lens in my Scott goggles is a bit compromised at either end of the scale - not dark enough in bright sun and still too dark in really flat light. That said, they are 6 or 7 years old now and I feel sure that technology will have improved things in the meantime. I don't believe there is a substitute for 2 (or even 3) pairs of goggles/lenses to cover different conditions but your note regarding the faff factor of changing lenses or the cost and hassle of carrying 1 or 2 spare pairs of goggles is spot on. It's taken me about 25 years to find a pair of goggles I really like so I am reticent to give this pair up as the fit is great for me and they seldom fog up. I do still keep a pair of Bolle Clear Green sun specs in my pocket for when it gets too murky. Probably doesn't help you in your dilemma - sorry! wink
