Help Buying Goggles

I have some really old Oakley A-Frame goggles and it's time to replace them.

It seems that A-Frame, Crowbars, Splices and Smith Stance would fit my helmet best (Giro G10 MX).

I've heard things about the Splices but godamn are they expensive, so are the A-Frames. The Stances are probably the cheapest at 95$. Anyone have any advice? Is there a good reason to go for a more expensive pair of oakleys? Other good companies that would fit my helmet well? Scott? Dragon? Any advice helps.

I'd take a look around the Buy Sell forum. You can pick up some really good goggles (crowbars, splices, fixes) for around 70-110 bucks easy.

dragons would fit your helmet just because i have that helmet and i know the shape of the gogges that dragons come in. They're like the a frames but look cooler ad are more rounded around the froehead. Also the only reason to get a expensiver pair is for graphics or cool lenses. They all ( Oakleys ) come with triple layer fleece foam so there realy is no diference besides looks

Having good googles is in my view very important. I used to have some really cheap ones which always fogged up, and it got really annoying. Now i have a nice pair of dragon ones which I reallllllly love. Dragon make great quality products, and their price is fair too.

check out the dragon rogues. For other goggles, look into smith. I've got phenoms and I like the feel of them, or get oakley crowbars, or splices.

Oakley by far has the best lenses in the business, and if you are willing to spend some money they get some cbars or splices because it is well worth it
