Frame: Shaun White
Lens: Black Iridium

I bought these mainly for looks, since the most winter activity I get is shoveling the driveway. I love the simplistic lines running down the side of the frame. The black on white look for some reason just works. The all text frame is nice, but I prefer the cleaner look. The box is also unique to this pair, so that's another plus. The Black Iridium lens should be noted is different that the Black Iridium on glasses. It has an increased contrast base like many of the goggle lenses, and will help with visibility.

Frame: Blue
Lens: Persimmon, Fire

Have these for many years and was always satisfied with the fit and protection. Although I found the Persimmon always a bit lame. You are not supposed to clean the inside of the lens, not even with the microfiber bag because of some anti-fog coating. I made that mistake once after a huge crash that got snow into the goggles. That scratched it very badly.

I purchased a new lens and originally wanted to have a H.I. Blue or H.I. Yellow since I normally only use goggles when the weather is not too good. Otherwise I use normal Oakleys when snowboarding. But the shop didn't have them and I fell deeply in love with the Fire lense. So I made a spontanious purchase and I've never regretted it. The Fire looks spectacular on such a big lense and you get the whole color sprectrum from blue, green, yellow, orange to red and back. It's just amazing. And it goes very well with the plain and a bit boring blue frame. Also it is not too dark even in low light conditions. I was a bit afraid of this first, but no problems there.

Frame: Shaun White Illusion Stripes
Lens: Black Iridium

The A-frame has received a facelift for the '09 model year and is now larger. A wider field of vision, especially on the peripherals makes this frame much more appealing along with a more solid feel. The new Shaun White colorway is infinitely nicer than his previous signature series and will instantly grab the attention of other people on the slopes. The microfiber bag has the matching pattern which goes nicely with the new Shaun White Jupiter LX and his limited Blue Chrome Frogskins as well.

Frame: Carbon Fibre
Lens: Persimmon

Really comfortable, I'm impressed by the way they can keep in heat but not fog up, they hug my face really well and the carbon fibre finish looks boss, the persimmon lenses are amazingly clear but I haven't had an opportunity to test them in really bright light conditions yet.

Frame: Black
Lens: Laser


I got these a while back on usstandardissue.com and they are really cool. I honestly don't know how effective the "laser" lens is but it does look really cool and looks cool to look though, I feel like I am master chief from Halo when I wear them. They are actually a lot lighter than I expected, they appear to be really heavy but they are not at all.

Frame: Black
Lens: VR28

Great low-key colorway. VR28 is a nice lens color that gives everything a warm, brownish-red tint. I've never worn goggles before, so I can't claim to know how they're supposed to fit, but these feel comfortable on my face and offer an acceptable amount of peripheral vision. The dual adjustment loops on the strap feel secure, and the strap material has rubbery stripes on the inside so it doesn't slip.

Frame: Black
Lens: Laser Lens

I had never seen these before, so even though I have absolutely no use for goggles, much less goggles with a Laser Lens, I had to get them anyway. This version is the SI "Assault" A-Frame. Unlike the standard A-Frame, the SI comes standard with the helmet strap kit that has wide-set brackets to make it easier for the strap to route over a helmet. The strap itself is also plain black, with no logos or patterns. Assault goggles also lack vent holes in the lenses.

The Laser Lens is an odd green-apple color. I have noticed some significant distortion in the lens around the nose cutout. I was not expecting that from an Oakley product, but I wonder if that is due to the material used for this particular lens tint (if it is different than standard Plutonite).

Frame : silver
lens : black iridium

I've been using it hardly. He has gone in French Aples, French Massif-Central and has always been a perfect goggle for sunny days.
Let me tell you a little anecdote which happened with my A-Frame :
I was riding in Les Deux Alpes with a group of friends. During a big ride, I stopped to have a little break and my buddies did the same. Our late skiing monitor arrived and felt just above my position. During is fall, the tail of one of his ski hit me in the head. A part of the the impact was absorbed by my helmet, but my goggles got a big shock from the ski.
After I recover, I pulled my A-Frame off to see how damaged he was and ... nothing ! Both the lens and frame was free of mark ! Without it, I probably have had big injuries.

Oh, and by the way, he is very comfortable, fit me nicely with of without helmet (and I have a quite big head), never fogs up...

A true classic

Frame: Pink
Lens: Pink Iridium

Read my other review for frame comments. The Pink Iridium lens is definately a cloudy day/night lens. The rose base appears similar to G30 or G40.

Frame: Matte Black
Lens: H.I. Amber Plarized

This is the smallest Goggle and probably most popular. I prefer something with more peripharal vision as I feel a bit of tunnel vision with these on. Visually the lense provides great contrast but the polarization masks ice patched making it a little dangerous on shady trail.

Frame: Black to clear fade ; Copper Tribal
Lens: Persimmon ; Gold Iridium

I wish I could give the A-frame a better score. I love the goggles but the strap is WAY to small. I have a medium sized head and the goggles fit me fine, but the strap is extremely tight.

I own 2 pair of A-frames, one with the helmet strap, which is just as short.

Great goggles, but the strap makes them almost unusable. Put the crowbar strap on the A-frame and it would be perfect.

Frame: Jet Black
Lens: Blue Iridium

Very cool goggle. Once I tightened them up enough, no snow got in. Provided awesome visibility. No wonder why this goggle is so popular.

Frame: Carbon Fiber
Lens: Persimmon

This model is for small head compared to O frame, Wisdom or Crowbar. I own a pair of international fit model and I have no problem wearing it. Persimmon lens is officially for both day and night but especially good for night vision. Not recommendable for a sunny day. Some people complain A frame provides narrow vision but I don't agree.

Frame: Silver
Lens: VR28
Nice goggle with great vision. Has that Darth Vader look, which is awesome.

Frame: A frame
Lens: ice iridium
