 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I'm about to order some Oakley A Frame Goggles off the net and their is a seperate helmet strap available, I have looked at the design and to me they look helmet compatible. Is this strap needed or are they just trying to get another £12 off me. Also should I go for these or the Wisdom's instead.

Can't answer your helmet question but I do have a pair of A frames which I am looking to sell!
Worn for 6 days only so excellent condition. Silver frame with blue iridium lens.
They are proper real ones bought in a ski shop in edinburgh. Usually 80 to 100 pounds I think with the iridium lens.
Forty five pounds if you're interested.

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

The strap won't be long enough to get round a helmet with the standard one.

DaveC, don't agree...2 pairs in my locker, both always worn with helmet, perfectly ok, no extra strap required

Kel, My lid is a size small though. Larger lids may well need the longer strap as mine is fairly near to the full extension.

my wisdoms came with a standard strap and there is absolutely loads of room, im a 57/58 cm head/helmet size, id be amazed if it didnt work, also id highly reccomend the widoms but havent had a frames so cant comment on them...the offer from col642 sounds like a good one

Scarpa, Ordered them now, I will see when they come my helmet is Large 60 cm, so might need one. I pass Snow and Rock 2-3 times a week so will get one from there if needed. Sure they could make one strap fits all, bit of a con I think. But hey if you want Oakleys that's the price you pay, went for the wisdoms in the end with Blue Iridium lens and a spare persimmon lens for low light. I will see how I go on with these might get the Hi Yellow for flat light if the persimmon aren't up to the job, I hate flat light need to see what i am skiing as I am getting on a bit now and the old legs are carrying a bit of extra weight.

Just bought an A Frame as an christmas present for someone... tried on a few models, all fitted round my helmet with a standard strap, including the A Frame.

Kel, I found that the strap was long enough to go around my helmet but, when on, the sides of the goggles seemed to lift away from my temples. No big hassle but caused a draught and just wasn't right.
The helmet strap isn't much longer but has a wishbone type contraption at each end which holds the strap proud of the edges of the helmet. I didn't have much faith when I got it but its just the job!
One thing, perhaps for all goggles, is that when you repeatedly perch them above your forehead, the sponge seals begin to separate from the frame, so take care.
Hope this helps.

Fair enough, L-XL helmet here, didn't work without. The sticky bit on the back is nice too.
