so for christmas my parents are giving me the choice of custom c bars or any pair of EG2.
which goggles are better overall, i know oakley is like the top for goggles nowadays but the sick big look of the EG2's is causing comotion within me.

my custom c bars would look like
frame: baby blue  (maybe blue to white fade)
lens: persimmon
strap: white w/ black logo   ( or white tiger)
outriggers: neon green

so NS i ask you to help me and give me the pros and cons of each goggle and which one i should vouch for for christmas

ive had both....both are sick. it depends if your wearing a helmet. EG2's just dont really fit with helmets. crowbars have better lenses. with no helmet eg2s are rad tho.

Ya i'd go crowbars they fit with or without a helmet. And you can change them all you want, very custommizible, and I wouldn't recommend a persimmon lens. Do you always ski in the day/night?

Definitely get the cbars they are so comfortable no matter what. but dont get the persimmon lens, its not worth it. and if you get a better lens with the goggles its cheaper than buying it later on.

Other than to look for fit like suggested above, you could choose based on popularity. Everyone has crowbars (myself included because they're so damn good and customizable), and not many people have EG.2's. That looks like it might change though, because so many people are really stoked on EG.2s.

If you're getting crowbars, don't get the persimmon lens. It's their worst lens quality wise, and isn't as nice to look at or through.

I'd recommend crowbars personally.

Do you wear a Giro or Bern helmet? Crowbars only, eg2's just don't fit.

Hat only? Take your pick...
