Not the biggest fan of wearing goggs. Maybe wear em once a year for the one day a season my mountain is actually cold. But I got a trip to Colorado coming soon to silverton, I have no idea about goggles at all I’ve never looked or researched them ever. What are some low profile goggs I won’t look wack with

Any style oaklly you like. Prizm tech is so nice and beats all other brands.

I use the fall line XL and love the fit. They regularly go on sale on evo

Yep. I like flight decks also and you can get last years for 100ish. Prism lenses are very good, I like the jade color

Most tend to get Oakley line miner or smith squad for low profile

These are both recommendations. Another one to check out is the Smith Squad XL, or L if your face is on the smaller side. They can be found pretty cheap ~$50-60 sometimes and especially if it's not something you're going to use much in the future might be worth the savings.

Comes with two lenses, $77 CAD is like $55 USD

personally i think that the shape of smiths look a lot better than most oakley goggles do and both work about as well as far as i’ve seen

For biking I’ve had the best luck with Oakley goggles so I’ve thought Oakley might be the best idea for ski goggs

I wore squads before oakley prizms and the clarity and contrast is way better with the oakleys, it makes all the difference on stormy or overcast days I prob won't ever go back

This what I rock, Giro Ledge. I love them. No complaints, sorta pricey (150ish I think) came with a really nice low light lense that I use more than the tinted ones. Would recommend

I’m the same way I hate wearing goggles. Last season I just grabbed a cheap pair of giro clear lenses for just in case days and they get the job done perfectly

just get a cheap pair of spys if ur not gonna use em that much. Aces or Raiders would work well. I never really use dogs either but don't hate my aces when I have to
