Cracked Lenses. Does it matter?

I just noticed that I have a crack in the interior part of the lens in my crowbars (black iridium lens). I have not had them out of the mountain yet to see if it will matter? Will they fog up or have any affect of performance? Or will it perform the same, and just have a ugly crack in them?

I am trying to figure out if I have time to shop for a lens, or if I will not be able to see through them well with the cracked lens and need to have them replaced by the time I go again.

it depends but if its on the inside of the lense it probably will.

I just put a crack in the inside of my crowbars and they started fogging a bit but they crack is getting bigger and now I can barely see half the time. It sucks. But you might as well try yours and see if you have better luck.

all the crowbar lenses ive had ended up cracking right down the center. it didnt affect it in any way. no fogging and i couldnt see the crack. only way to find out is to use them

Yo if you need some new goggles I have a pair I can sell you on the low.

I think a crack will make your goggles fog up faster but other than that no.

if the crack is distracting/ annoying while you wear the goggles..then I'd say get replacements. happened to me

A lot of oakley crow bars crack on the inside lens in the centre right in between the eyes. i had 2 cracked lenses in that spot and they were both fine as long as i took them out of my bag after a day of skiing! contact oakley and make sure you have your receipt. i unfortunately lost my receipts and couldn't do anything, but it didn't effect vision much at all
