My dad has these old ass goggles that he has been rocking for years, and they are falling apart so for X-Mas I'm gonna buy him a new pair. I don't know what to get him though because I don't want to get something like crowbars and ahve him look like he's trying to look hip and young, because he is 63. Any suggestions on some subtle, but good looking gogs I could get him? Thanks

crowbars aren't just for the hip and young. I gave my dad my old pair and he absolutely loves them. BUT if you absolutely can't have your dad interfering with your steeze points then I'd recommend some A-Frames. I promise, OLD PEOPLE get a KICK out of this new TECHNOLOGY. but on a more serious note the spherical lenses are dope, he'll see the mountain in a whole new way. Make your dad happy this christmas and just buy him some 'bars.

I don't get it...Since when are Crowbars young and hip?

Just get him some Plain Jane Crowbars, he'll love them. I think he deserves the best you can give him.
Don't cheap out on him because you're afraid that he'll look "young and hip". That's the dumbest excuse ever. It's not like he's going to steal your girl.

Either Crowbars, or look into some Smith I/Os.

Remember, PLAIN JANE!
You youngens are only making it young and hip because its a fashion show for some of you.

wasn't planning on cheaping out, just didn't want to get him some flashy shit that he would look stupid with. I think I might go with straight up black cbars though, cause those are sick but not too flashy, and are quality gogs

Good idea, you can save that for the kids.


Plain Jane rules all. You can't go wrong with neutral colours. I'm sure he'll love them.
