 Poster: A snowHead
|
Sharing a lift with some guy and he had a magnetic lens that he put on top of the existing basic clear orange lens.
Looking on google they may of been Uvex g.gl 3000
Ive splashed out on a pair of oakleys so not looking to spend a fortune
So willing wait for a discounted pair on ebay/FB or maybe a second hand pair
What ones have you got and any trouble with the magnetic lens staying on ??
thanks

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

I've got the Outdoor Master Ultra that have a magnetic lens system.
Easy to swap and have never had a lens pop out on me yet.

@nbt, the summit goggles with the magnetic changeable lenses are great. At first I thought perhaps a gimmick as I rarely changed lenses or goggles in the past, but the ability to arrive at the top of the mountain in terrible light and to swap them with gloves on within a few seconds is brilliant. Not quite the same as what the OP saw.
I've only had an issue with them once when faffing about pulling them off my face and managing to throw the lens into the snow in the process 
Customer service was excellent too, when my pair got delayed in shipping beyond their control they had me sorted in time for my trip.

I've got Smith 'magnetic + locking tab' ones and eat my fare share of snow skiing off piste last week without issue - but not cheap.
No idea on make/model but one of my friends children has goggles like that (and not the linked Decathlon ones). That's not especially useful but what is, is that he likes speed, crashing, and fiddling and hasn't lost the outer 'stick' on lens yet...

We have been using Smith IO XLs for a few seasons now with religious gogglesox use. Work very well. Rarely have to change lens during a day.

I got some of these..Dirty Dogs - excellent.
They come with 2 lenses (spare low-light lens) and are about ⅓ the price of equivalent Smith products

I grabbed smith io mag this autumn for about £120-140, for 2 lenses I think its a good deal.
Then I had a chance to use them in the December, they are fine, but I had one issue, ive been doing offpiste run, just while returning back to piste, my skis catched a shark and i went over the bars landing to the flozen piste edge (on the ungroomed side of the piste) right on the head, luckily Ive been wearing the helmet but it was quite a strong hit so the lense flew out of the googles, not sure if I latch them properly thought, but this is how it went. huge hole in the helmet, ripped pants, but luckily no injuries. Stay safe out there.

I Bought some line Miner pros and used them over new year week and was very impressed. Very easy to change lens.

You know it makes sense.

I have these. I would agree prone to freezing and fogging.

Have a look at the MW (Messy Weekend) goggles - Ive got the Clear XEP (Magnetic and Responsive) paired with a clear (yellow) lens for those overcast days. excellent goggles - time it right and they often do offers.
