For an upcoming birthday i was looking do buy some new oakleys. i had trouble diciding between crowbars, a frames, and splices. I have about a medium face, need great periferals, and fog ups wont happen-im riding daytime cont. in ohio. Which goggles?

Nt oakleys, they're overrated and overpriced, pick up some smiths or electrics.

yes really, Brand new crowbars fogged on me first run of the day, My I/O's have NEVER fogged, and i got em for half as much as the c-bars, so yes, Oakley is still garbage.

I hate this argument. Some people like their I/Os more, some people like their Crowbars more, and maybe sometimes people even like their EG2s more. It's an opinion, they're all good goggles.

I feel the same way. I honestly think I/Os are better than Crowbars/Splices in every way except maybe lens quality and Oakley barely beats them at that. But other than that, I/Os beat Oakley in everything.

I have never ever had any problems with oakleys fogging. Excellent goggles.

I'd say go with crowbars. All the parts are interchangable, unlike the aframes, and they fit a medium size face easily.

Splice>Crowbar>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Piece of poop>Aframe

Go with the splice's.

And about the whole Oakley vs. Smith thing, Oakley fits some people better, and Smith others. There is no point in arguing
