i ordered a pair of splices this summer and trying them on i sort of felt super disipointed. oakley said they had good vision and easier breathing.i feel like they restrict my breathing and they have tunnal vision. my first question is to people who have them did you have these problems? do you get used to the vision and breathing? im thinking about getting new ones if i cant get used to them. what are good goggles for vision and breathing? Thanks..

I found the nose piece horrific, completely blocked my nose. Are the crowbars any better?

well that wouldnt make sense because there really isnt a nose piece, it puts more pressure on the outside of your eyes rather than your nose if any on your nose... but no if splices dont let your nose breath, i would have an incredibly hard time believing that cbars would... IMO splices let your nose breath amazing!

hmm maybe you just need some getting used to. for me at least they are perfect and i love the vision in them. i wouldnt recommend the crowbars, the nose piece is supposed to actually take pressure off the nose unlike cbars. hope this helps!

Smith I/O are super comfy and wide range of vision. Anons hawkeyes are also good

i got a pair of splice...used them for a bit and then trades them because the vision really isnt that good....IMO i think the crowbars have a wider range a vision

Hmm.. Well for some reason my splices do the exact opposite, completely pinch my nose and let no air through. Maybe its because I have quite a wide head? I don't know.

if youre really looking for vision get the eg2s. prolly one of the biggest goggles out there and they look ill

actually forget the eg2's if you only care about range of vision. the new drag rogue? i believe. the ones without frames, widest vision of any goggle... but you will look like an alien (:
