Which one do you guys think looks better? I personally have a pair of both, but I think the splice looks better most of the time... there are times where I would take the crowbar though. Thoughts?

Both look sick, but I like my splices more.

crowbars and splices have a similar fit, but the splice has a different nose design to help with nose pressure. some people find the crowbar nose uncomfortable.

for look, i would say the crowbar. it's just a classic

Try them both on and figure it out after you know how each of them fit your face.

But if you choose to not try them both on: If the bridge of your nose is narrow I would recommend the crowbars and if you have a wider nose I would recommend getting the splices.

Also if you have a flatter nose you might want to look into the Asian fits, they include thicker padding in the nose area.

I prefer the look of splices, less frame to lens, but I like the fit of the crowbar more

Oakley ruined the Crowbar for me when they added the Logo on top of the goggle frame, it interacts bady with a brimmed helmet. Ironically I paid less for an Airbrake with 2 lenses than I did for a C-bar with a replacement lens. The Airbrake is dope as fuck

Sandbox has a lot more curved, and much larger brim than the Smith Vantage.
