Oakley Snow Goggles Question

[nord1899]

Okay, I've tried on the Blue Iridium A-Frame, but is it really a mirror tint? It didn't look like it at the store, which granted, had cheap florescent lighting.

Does it really matter? As long as it keeps the glare out of your eyes it's doing its job.

True, but its a coolness factor. And for how expensive they are, its something I consider.

I already have a Persimmon (amber) A-Frame which is great for cloudy days, but now I am looking for one for sunny days.

Looking at either Blue Iridium or Fire for the lense.

They have Over-The-Glass (OTG) goggles. That is, ones made to fit over normal perscription glasses.

Also, I think you can get them custom made for a perscription. No idea on exactly how to do that and how much though.

Npt sure if that is what you were asking about.

Unfortunately, Oakley only does prescription sunglasses.

That being said, I want a pair of Wisdom goggles REAL REAL bad.

Saw a pair at the store today and they are just wider. I think the A-Frame is better.

Polarized isn't really needed. Least I have never needed it. Not when the goggle can block 80+% of the incoming light.
