    Don't wear Oakley goggles? What do you wear?

    Simple. What do you wear if you don't wear Oakley goggles?

    Smith I/OX. Love them. Had cheaper smiths before them. Never any issues with them.

    Unless it's Quebec cold, I prefer my Julbo zebra sunglasses. Best anti fog coating I tried.

    This. I love geeking out over gear, but this is one area in which I have a hard time giving a fuck.

    Shit goggles fogging have caused more problems than my binding weighing an extra 5g or my softshell only breathing 500mg or water instead of 550g for me.

    YMMV.

    Which is why I use a welding facemask.

    What Hugh said.

    Eyes, hands and feet are important.
    I've had Uvex photochromic goggles for a couple seasons now. They work great for places like whistler or MT and ID, but for the PNWet it is all about the Smith Turbo Fan.

    Ray-ban wayfarers. Polarized brown lense. Amazing eyewear.

    Oakley Canopy. Wait, what?

    I stopped with Smith. Too many fogging issues and I felt the optics were sometimes off with lens'.

    Oakley have been far superior in both departments. Pink Iridium is boss.

    Smith I/O, good fit but the lens seem to scratch fairly easily.

    Tried on the Oakley Splice and Airbrake, they fit me weird, my eyes are in the lower 1/4 of the goggles.

    This
    Julbo bivis or other wraps with zebra or camel - their photochromic is best and like daught said, the anti fog is for real.
