Crowbars or o-frames?

so right now i have a pair of crowbars, but the thin foam on the top part of goggles is ripped which really pisses me off when its snowing. i am wanting to get some new goggs but i am having a hard time deciding whether i should get another pair of crowbars or a pair of o-frames.

considering i have 3 dollars at the moment i am leaning towards the o-frames simply because of the price, even though i really like the fit of the crowbars i have right now.

the reason i made this thread was just to get some info and feedback on how people like o-frames and what you guys think of this dilemma. help me out if you can thanks dudes!

I own both and enjoy my crowbars more. It may be because I prefer the look of them, or something else but I deffs use my crowbars on more daily then my O-Frames. Both are sick goggles though, either shall serve you well!

o-frames are really really tiny compared to crowbars.

thats what i found too actually was that i tried out a pair of my friends o-frames for a couple runs but he said that they were like a small size of them or something and that there are other pairs that are bigger on your face

Why o frames if you're going to buy oakleys? You can buy better goggles for cheaper....

Go with Crowbars, peripheral vision is so much better.

CROWBARS! not only do they look miles better, but the shape is a lot better and O-frames are tiny.

If its Oakley then get crowbars or the new canopy which comes out next year. Splices look like alien goggles... From another company, Smith IOs are the jam. And the O Frame, well you gotta be BDog to run those bad boys.

crowbars obviously, just get a pair with the lens covering the opposite light spectrum that you already have and boom! you're always covered

Get a thin sheet of filter foam, say two or three millimeters, and just glue it in place. I did it to my o-frames and its still holding up.
