Oakley Goggles
Oakley goggles come in a range of shapes and sizes, I currently own a set of A-Frames and Wisdoms. (See photos)

A-Frames - These are the comfiest goggles I have used by far. Light wieght and clear with good ventilation preventing a lot of misting up. The high intensity yellow lense has seen a lot of snow, and has not scratched or worn in any way. And believe me, I've give myself a number of black eyes testing these baby's out.

Wisdoms - I bought these after the A-Frames (they were cheaper than buying a new iridium lense from Oakley). Positives are a larger lense for better angles of vision which helps let in more light. The iridium lens reduces glare and provides greater contrast for the brightest of days. I found these goggles comfy and relatively light on your head. They follow the contours of my face well. There are also quite robust. Down sides - For those of you with small faces or big noses, these goggles may inpinge on your nose alittle, I found this initially but I got used to it pretty quick and its no longer a problem. The A-Frames dont have this problem.

Hope this gives you an insight into a few styles of the oakley range.

just got a pair of crowbars with fire a iridium lense for these loooovely sunny days!

The fit is great for me, so i guess i have a large head as ive heard they fit medium/large heads better.
The goggle frame allows for great peripheral vision, and the strap has rubber on the inside so it wont slip on helmets.
yea i have yet to try them with a helmet,
though so far so good
