SNOWBOARDERS: New snowboard goggles, which ones?

[Zucarita9000]

I've been offered these two models for a decent price. I wont be going snowboarding for another month or so, and I wanted to know wich one of these two you would buy.

Scott Vision Performace

yea goggles are too much of a pain in the ass

go with sunglasses

If you can't afford oakleys, killer loops are nice

if you can't afford that either , I say go with FOAKleys

as long as it has uv protection and anti-fog, you can choose based on asethesics 🙂

if you're a n00b, don't go with the expensive ones, you'll just fall and break them and be pissed.

man... neither. those are horrible two choices. i have a pair of oakley wisdom and they are sweet!! i would recommend a pair of those... or perhaps even the A frames. just buy them from ebay or something. ebay: wisdom = $90, a frame = $75.

but if i had to pick one or the other, i guess i would pick oakley just b/c they make better lenses.

I'm going to third the recommendation for the Oakley Wisdom goggles.

me second that notion.

edit: also, if you cheap out on goggles, it can be a horrible ordeal. so you cheap out now and get some cheap goggles, but the problem begins when you can't see through the cheap lenses in the shadows. then you'll be like, "man, i need some new goggles... goggles that have high intensity lenses." now you're in trouble, b/c you're spending the initial $40 on cheap goggles and you're spending an additional $100 on good goggles. you're left spending $140 instead of $100. therefore, i recommend you get the oakley wisdom w/ high intensity blue lenses (they're supposed to be the best lenses that allows you to see in the shadows).

Hmmm... Oakley's Winsdom are far too expensive here in Argentina ($220+ US). I'll probably look for some A Frames, but I doub't I'll find some.

I can't ride with sunglasses. I always wear goggles and my old Salices need to be replaced. My first two option were these two (Scotts and Oakleys). I'll try to find some before I leave. Thanks for your help.
