Lost my goggles in the last week of the season last year and need a new pair for this coming winter. I can't be arsed with lots of pairs. Does anyone know of a pair you can buy with interchangable lenses that will work in both flat light and bright sunshine?

smith goggles can be popped out and put back in about 30 seconds.
Get the sensor mirror for flat light.
Get the red/platinum/gold mirror for sunny or just the normal GL55 lens.

yeah, but some are harder to pop out than others. The smiths are super easy, oakleys are harder, electric are pretty easy, scott isnt bad.

really? I found them to be pretty easy. Not as easy as the smiths, but much easier than swapping A-frame lenses.

the goggles with the easiest lense changing system i have ever seen are the anon halcyons. personally i dont like they style but they just have 4 tabs that easily pop out and allow the lense to come out. the lenses are really cheap too. i would really like to see this system used on other goggles because it is super cheap and effective.

I don't think you want Wisdoms, those are so hard to change.
Scott ransoms are great, I could change in about 30 seconds.

word, every time i switch em i feel like im gonna break the lense. theres no point in swiiching lenses. for nice lense (fire iridium HI lense) thats what u pay for. a google frame is like 30 bucks if ur gonn ahave 2 lenses get 2 frames so u dont have to switch em risk breaking em and you can have 2 diff style type of goggles

Smiths are easiest for sure.
A little expensive though for some of them.
