Oakley A Frame Goggle Replacement Lenses

Oakley A Frame Goggle Replacement Lenses description

Oakley Iridium and High Intensity A Frame Goggle Replacement Lenses improve your vision in low light and extra bright conditions. So you're the kind of skier or snowboarder who doesn't quit riding when the conditions get nasty? And when it's sunny you're going too fast to wear sunglasses without your eyes watering, right? That's why Oakley developed high-performance replacement lenses for their A Frame Goggles. When the snow is dumping and everyone else heads for the lodge complaining about the bad visibility, throw in a pair of High Intensity Lenses to bring out what light is available. You'll see contrasts better and get more fresh tracks. Available in High Intensity Blue or High Intensity Persimmon. On bright, sunny bluebird days use the Iridium Lenses to cut glare without worrying about your eyes watering like your sunglass wearing friends.

I've done a ton of night skiing and racing in the clear lens and it is by far the best lens for anything in the dark...crashing gates or freeriding at night in Japan...these things are awesome. The yellow lens is ok too for that (day flat light is best for the HI), but not nearly as good at night.

Replacing the lense in the A-Frame takes some brute force and stupidity. At least for the first couple of times. They are expensive, so use more force than stupidity. It gets easier as you interchange. The lenses are great. Asked by a Swiss mountain guide how I could ski when all others refused; I simply pulled off my A-frames and let him peer through. He placed his order that night.

In California, there's a mixture of great bluebird days and dumping, stormy days. I used to hate wearing goggles, but after I got my A-Frames I realized I hated them because my goggles sucked. I used them, and Black Iridium lenses for most of last season. For the days that are mostly sunny with a bit of clouds, I use Black Iridium lenses. I like them because they don't TOTALLY distort the color of everything around you like some other lenses. They're crystal clear, too. The only downside... they scratch really easily (and for the most part, I try to take care of my gear). I am definitely going to get some H.I. yellows this coming season.
