What goggles give the best peripheral (side) vision along with what is directly in front of you (downward)? Let me know what you all think.

Oakley A-frames have suprisingly good peripheral vision, and they're pretty cool looking. So do the Wisdoms. Right now i am using a pair of Spy Blizzards, which are real sweet. I like them more than The A-frames. The Blizzard is definitely a good goggle have, as well as the Smith Fuse Regulator, thats another nice pair. You should probably try them on before you buy them though, hit up your local ski shop and test them out to know for sure. Ride on man.

i've got a-frames and have never had a peripherl vision problem. but from the looks of it, the oakley wisdoms, spy orbits, or the anon halcyons have the most peripheral vision

o-frames are junk. why would anyone list o-frames or messengers over any of the many goggles now availble with a spherical lense?

Messengers are wicked. I've got no complaints about 'em. Cheaper than the Wisdoms and I think they're better, plus if you have a towel hanging out your pants when you where 'em you look chill.

if you want to spend 120 bucks on a pair of goggles, be an idiot and buy oakleys. i have and LOVE my messengers. they never fog, areeal comfy, and look good. by the way, if your interested, i have a pair of never used a-frames for sale...i want $70 but i will negotiate. the googles are jet black with a fire lens. if you are gnna buy a-frames, buy them from me...you will save yourself a bunch of $$
