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

Arno hi, thank you for the reply - any particular Smith or something midrange is perfectly adequate?

Smith or Scott. Double lens (which almost all will be) Anything else is at least likely to contain an element of fashion premium. I like the Smith Gold Lite lens and the Scott Amplifier lens personally but you can just go with whatever framestyle you fancy.

i've always liked the prodigy but it's a matter of taste really. that model was discontinued last year so you might find some deals floating round on the interweb
you should give some thought to lenses. will you be wearing them all the time or only on flat light/snowy weather? i wear mine all the time while i am skiing and find the ignitor mirror lens to be amazingly versatile.

Hi,
I have recently brought some Dragon Rouge Googles from www.boardshop.co.uk
for £50 
They had some other deals on there also. much cheaper than the other places i have been looking.

I've had Smith, Oakley and Bolle Goggles in recent years, ot these Bolle and Oakley were of similar performance and both were better than Smith, Oakley have a very good rep for fixing their products if they get damaged, but that said I never managed to damage my Bolle ones

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

Don't buy based on brand alone. Buy based on these criteria (in order of importance):
1. Fit (to face/head)
2. Fit (to helmet if you wear one)
3. Optics (cheaper flat lenses distort and will give you a headache by the end of the day)
4. Lens coatings / Lens options for changing conditions. At the end of the day these are supposed to protect your eyes from snow blindness, etc.
5. Ventilation (affected by fit with helmet) Double lenses are MUCH better for anti-fog
6. Style (Usually linked with brand)
Most top brands (like the ones you mentioned) have good and not so good products.
Personally, I use Smith I/0 but that's mostly because of fit. I think others "look" better. Oakley are just too small for my big head!

You know it makes sense.

I have had a pair of zeal dominators for a couple of years now, really happy with them and polarized spherical lens as well! Also came with a low light lens and they have excellent ventilation.
Think I picked them up for about 65 quid, not sure what their current range is though (assuming new models etc)

I've had Smith Phenoms for the last few years and will be getting a new pair this season. Best goggles I've ever had by some distance.

A-Frame is my friend - fit and function, and can get replacement lenses pretty much anywhere...
