Sup guys, my goggles got trashes last weekend at baker. I need some new ones but need to no what would be best. I usually ride in overcast-to quite snowy conditions. I was thinking a yellow lens would be best, what do you think. Oh and if you guys could recomend a pair for under 50 that would be nice!

e frames. i hope u didnt pay over 10 bucks. They dont have a yellow lense for those that i know of. All they have is clear persimon gold iridium and black irdium. Iridiums are exspensive and not very good in low light. I would go with the persimon. Its 20 bucks of off oakley.com but the goggles only go gor 30 so its not really even worth it.

Realms
figs
A-frames
crowbars
wisdoms
phenoms
SPY's

shit, that's all I can think of now but there's lots more. Also I use yellow a frames for bad light and fire for sunny. You can try my A-Frames maybe next time but I won't be up any more this season.

o my god. Goggles can change lenses why would you have to worry about different lenses. Get some ill orange mirrors and then go to smith.com and get some extra lenses whatever you desire

First off, upgrade to Wisdoms/Crowbars/A-Frames. Then, pick up a HI Persimmon or maybe G30 or Pink Iridium lens. You dont need yellow if its daytime, imo. that HI persimmon is money for shitty conditions. Pink Iridium and G30 for a bit more light. Proly worth the $$ to get two lenses, HI persimmon wont be the best on a bluebird day, and you wont be able to see out of a gold iridium lens in whiteout.

year end sales, clearance sales, clearance stores, or buy from the distributor or factory if you can get hooked up.
