My local ski shop are selling all their oakley's for $100. The have crowbars splices and a frames. I am wondering what to go for. There is much more of a selection of a frames than the splices and crowbars though. Also wondering what lense to go for. i think that fire iridium are sweet but a a bit useless where as the VR50 Pink Iridium aren't as cool but seem more versatile??

Give me your opinion

I have splices and there super comfortable and have a great field of vision. I would definitely recommend them. Can't comment on the other two because I haven't ever worn them but splices for $100 is definitely worth it.

A frames are awful get crowbars or splices. Splices are bigger and have a nose support so they are very comfy on the face. Crowbars are also very comfy plus steeziest goggle period imho. I don't know where you live but if these are gonna be your only goggle and you're on the east I would not recommend Fire. They are reeaalllyy dark. Definitely the sickest lens though you can't see through them at all from the other side. If its not mad sunny I rock pink iridium. Awesome lens. Brightens up night time skiing okay and it reflects sun and looks mirrored when it's bright out. Good all around lens.

Wow huge hate on O frames here. I love my o frames personally, they don't have the same amount of lens options as splices or crowbars, but are still excellent goggles, super comfortable, and look really good with a lot of different helmets. I recommend them for sure

try em on, whichever fits best is the goggle for you. shameless plug for the crowbars, i love em and i rock fires in almost all conditions except on the darkest of days and i really have no problem except at the very end of the day if it was pretty overcast. Also i personally think the splices look stupid sorry.
