I lost mine last year and i need some new ones and i know absolutely nothing about goggles or which ones are good, so im wondering what you think would be the best pair for a good price.

plus oakley is making those goggles, really similar to the crowbars but they're called the splice or something.  more pro models for it including Pep's which are sick

i reccomend crowbars, but just about anything from a trusted brand name that fits your face is good.

Smith and Oakley make the highest quality goggles on the market. Hands down Oakley and Smith lenses are way better than anything else on the market. Scott is a close third.

Buy a pair of goggles that you like from any 3 of those companies and I guarantee you'll be happy.

Spy, Anon, Electric and other smaller companies have crappy lenses and crappy coatings. Sure they look cool, but when you're skiing in freezing rain and the ice takes off the entire mirrored coating on your lens you won't care.

I have a pair of SPY's and like them just as much as my crowbars and prodigies, especially in tough weather conditions.

I think Anon goggles are really cool, I have a pair I think they are called the Realms or something like that.
