Ok this is killing me. I've got £100 ($160) worth of amazon vouchers and I need new goggles.

My choices are:
Electric EG2 (not sure if its one or two lenses): £95
Smith I/O (2 lenses): £150
Oakley Splice (1 lens): £150
Oakley Crowbar (1 lens): £100

I have no idea how to chose between em, and I can't try any of them on because there is no retailer near me.

If you had no goggles right now, which ones would you go for, considering the prices also. Feel free to suggest others that ain't on my list. Please don't say just pick the ones you want most etc. That's kinda the problem here.
(also i wear a white R.E.D mutiny II helmet if that makes a difference to your choices)

srsly?
just check the thread size on the front of the camera...it should say right on it.

but i would guess that 43mm is bigger than most cameras that size, i could easily be wrong though.

This.

And can you switch video quality on that camera? 1080 on 30fps must be quite the bummer.

the 20ft would give you significantly more speed than the 10, but the 10 would be fine for standard urban rails

take em to your local shop, they should have a grip remover and a pipe cutter, both of which work 1000x better than anything you could do with whatever you have at home and a hacksaw.

For anybody who has skied 2011 T-Halls: I flexed them the other day, and the tip and tail were really soft, which i like. underfoot felt stiff, too, which is good, but how do they ski? i know that B-Dog seems to really bash em around, and go pretty big. Does the butteryness affect jump performance at all? and are they actually buttery? basically just a quick overview would be awesome, im really looking at trying to buy this year's cheap at some point, or get a shop deal on next years.

What bindings do you have? I'm guessing around $20.

that definitely means that whoever is bending your brakes is doing it wrong.

if i realized that i have no need for them, you certainly don't, and my mountains get more snow fall annually then yours. PLus you own 3 pairs of pow skis. Im trying to save you money kellen, but if you want to waste all that cash on something you will maybe be able to use to it's fullest once a season then be my guest, not my bank account taking the hit

Save yourself money and buy 140's. I highly doubt you need a din 8-18 binding.

If your short/light enough for a 176 ski, there is no need for an 18 din binding, save your money and get the 14, or px12's even

You should get whatever you want. If kids are skiing park with no poles and on Hellbents, having three pow skis aint that crazy.

So?

He probably rides them at 11 or 10. Which is just fine.

No, I ride at 10ish on the lizzies. but the 18din version of the Head Mojo is way beefier.

beefier than the 15 or 12 that is. Besides, I think I paid 90 bucks for them. And the sound an all metal binding makes is just so much better.

A ski that well made could easily take the third mount. Go with the cheap one.
