i have a frames and i was thinking of getting a new lens but then i thought for like 20 more bucks i could get a new pair of goggles. i dont know how much goggles have changed since the a frame was made so im not sure if getting new goggles would be worth it. my a frames fit pretty good with my helmet but there is room for improvement. so would it be better to buy a new lens or new goggles?

some but the a frames are still good goggles. That being said i really love my crowbars. So comfortable. work great with the helmit. dont fog and dont mess with ur view. If you get new ones dont get the wisdoms. they suck
