yea you can remove it and the strap is way better cuz it's the helmet strap with grippy things on it, I have some for bikin. are you sure you can put snow lenses in them though? seems weird that ya could, but I guess i've never tried. The snow lenses are way thicker though so how could that work??

dude mx lenses are one layer as opposed to two layers in the snow lenses, which means they fog up like mofos, not worth the savings. I got some mx crowbards for hella cheap, but i'm not gonna break 'em out in the winter.

yea man have fun with that... i reckon theres a reason every snow goggle in existance pretty much has a two layer lense... props to you if it works and you can beat the man though

ok so i decided im buyin the green mx ones and the mx ice iridium lense and i think i can deal with the fogging and of the crowbars have good venting then they wont fog...plus the lenses read antifog.

i had mx crowbars grren/black and bought snow lenses, they did not fit right no matter what. took them to oakley dealer and they told me that the mx ones are not made to fit the plutonite, dual layer lenses, just the single layer ones. I was pissed as F%$k, Oakley says nothing about it anywhere, and cannot find out if store is right or what. But the fire snow lenses would not ever fit right, and skied like shit at hood.

^that sounds more accurate since the lenses are totally different in thickness so it doesn't make sense they'd be interchangeable. I have to green (anti-freeze) mxs they're pretty dope, as I said though good luck with the fogging. Why not just get used snow crowbars??

well I think the difference between the temp of your face which heats up the air inside the goggles makin a bigger difference between the air on either side of the lenses than in summer when it's warm outside the goggles as well... I dont really know though I mean they're mad cheap so I guess give it a shot and let us know if it works, I'm just saying I doubt it's random that ski gogs have two layer lenses all the time I just never paid enough attention in science to tell you why.

I still dont get why you dont just try to find some used but super good condition crowbars with the proper lense?? although if you rock a skate helmet or bl or somethin and like to wear your gogs outside the mx strap is da bomb I wear them on my full face helmet riding DH (biking) and they dont budge.

ok just using an old thread to ask new questions...

so does anyone really know if a snow lens would work?
also, could you put riggers from a snow crowbar on mx or the otherway around?

lastly... why dont people use the mx straps? im pretty sure they are the same... i think they would just open up a bunch of new color options...

anyways lets here what you guys think...

^^the riggers aren't interchangeable, the whole frame shape is different and they have longer arms and attach far towards the middle of the goggle. i assume the straps are but they're much bigger so they're hard to fit around a hat but great for helmets. overall i'd just get normal c-bars the mx ones just don't seem to work very well for skiing but that's just imo, i'm sure other people have diff opinions

if you buy mx crowbars for skiing you are a fag. seriously. Spend the money and get googles that arent going to fog. You can get a pair on here in good condition for like 70 bucks.

well from what i read on this thread, the mx crowbars are cheaper, the come in more colors, and you can still put a snow lens on them and they work fine... so i guess if you spend less money to get a wider variety of colors and a goggle that works just fine your a fag

^no, you cant put snow lens's in, no the straps arnen't interchangeble w/ crowbar snow's. one, the strap is hella longer, like twice the size b/c they go over helmets and the little plastic part that goes into the outrigger is skinier on the mx ones then the crowbar snows. they are really just 2 completley diff goggles just w/ the same basic design... if you want crowbars for skiing then buy crowbar snows...
