Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm looking to buy a pair of Oakley A Frame goggles for use in sunny/medium brightness. I'm quite interested in the black iridium and the fire lenses so far which both look good but can't decide which. With both of these I'm not sure if one is darker than the other so which would be better with the medium end of the brightness scale which I am looking to bridge a bit. Also with the black iridium ones from looking at photos the lenses have a brown tinge to them and not sure i quite like the idea of looking out at a brownie white tinge all the time. I guess my only issue with the fire is from an aesthetic point of view as i'm just a bit put off by the way they look (ie. crazy reflective lens), feel a bit of a show off wearing a pair of these, i am a good skier though so my ability wouldn't let down my appearance! I ideally want to be able to just end up with 2 goggles, one pair for sunny/medium brightness and another for cloudy/whiteout. I currently own a pair of A Frames with a persimmon lens but I am planning on replacing this with a hi intensity yellow lens. Any thoughts on whether the fire or black iridium are any good for my purposes?

As far as I know, the Fire Iridium lenses are the darkest. I use the fire lenses in all conditions other than on really cloudy/foggy days. Couldn't recommend them enough, best lenses and goggles combo I've ever owned.

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

I just have the two lenses for my A frames (persimmon and fire iridium VR28) and swap them around as and when I need to. It's very simple to swap lenses.

cad99uk, Thanks for that. Just treated myself to a pair of L frames (I wear glasses) to replace my 10 year old MotoX ones.
Unfortunately they only do them in Persimmon.
