I have always had problems with goggles fogging, no matter which goggle I have used. The Crowbars have been the first goggle I have ever had that I have never had any issue with fogging in any condition I have thrown at them. Peripheral vision is great, and I never have any distortion. Fire lens is great on bright/partly cloudy days, and Pink Iridium lens is great on cloudy/flat/low light days. You will not be disappointed in this goggle!

the goggles are great! my boyfriend loves them and uses them all the time!

Very comfortable to ski in all day and work very well in bright sunlight. Flip side of that is that they are not what you want on an overcast day or in deep shadows. Field of view is great, and as with other Oakleys I've had you can easily forget you have lenses in front of your eyes when the sun is out.

I have been riding with Spy goggles for the last two years. I can say that the crowbar goggles fit better and give me a wider range of vision than my old Spy's I would recommend to anyone looking for an upgrade in goggles.

I'm a big fan of Oakley products. The Crowbar goggles do not disappoint. They offer exceptional clarity, almost no fogging, and a great fit.I used A-Frames for 4 years before getting these. My son is using the A-Frames now. The Crowbar is a more traditional style than the A-Frame and feels better on a big face like mine.The Crowbar is well ventilated and comes with a helmet-capable strap. The iridium lenses are pretty good in a wide range of conditions. I have never wanted to trade them out for anything other than night skiing. You will need to be careful with them because they are scratch prone. I don't know if it is because they are iridium or because the coating shows scratches more than other types. Minor scratches aren't too bad from the inside view, but lenses are not cheap to replace. The frames and foam are very durable. The A-frames have weathered over 100 days of boarding/skiing and still look like new. There is every reason to believe these will go at least that long.Much like all the Oakley goggles I have owned, they are very good at keeping fog free. They are comfortable and stay put, thanks to the ribbing on the strap. Don't know how that would feel on my head, but they like the helmet just fine. I don't find myself adjusting them like I did the A-Frames - just run and gun. Oakley is smart about the material they put on the foam and they never get sweaty or sticky. I still get goggle lines.Ski/Snowboard goggles are ridiculously overpriced. There are MANY goggles that cost half as much that look as good or better than their peers; however, Oakley goggles continue to stand out in my experience. Are they cheap? No way. Smith and Scott make some pretty good goggles, but I haven't found any that I like as much as Oakley. I would own more of their stuff if it was 15% less. These goggles will appeal to the enthusiast with a little extra pocket change. Are they $20+ better than competing products? Maybe. The non-iridium lens versions are every bit as good with a significant savings so if you want good goggles but are stretched at the price point, look that way. You can score iridium lenses later anyway. With Oakley, you get what you pay for, but be prepared to pay!
