Hey,
So as the tile says I'm almost at 1500, and wondering what goggles to get. Size wise I'm currently wearing Anon Realms, and pretty happy with that fit. Not many shops around me so it's hard to try on various makes etc. Lens wise I'm not 100% sure, but something for low light is leading the race at the moment. Also, I wear a Bern brentwood. Any suggestions??? |

I just won mine too. I rocked Oakley Crowbars last season - fitted well with my helmet and I loved them so I'm getting them again. Just getting the standard white with the persimmon lens which is a low light lens.. All I have to pay is $10 so i'm pretty stoked with that!

Here is a good/recent thread about getting your hook up goggles.
The OP asks about larger lense goggles, but there are a few posts about Low Light condition goggles. A few posts about goggles that come with 2 lenses. |

Is that $10 for postage? Or can you add cash to the voucher to get a higher end pair?

Well shipping is $6.95 so that must mean he had to pay $3.00 extra to cover the goggles. But yes, they give you $100 towards any 2012 and older goggle. You pay the extra plus shipping.

Oh, nice one, thanks. I was only looking up to a $100 limit. Giving that thread a read now.
Opens up plenty more options, awesome.

I went with the Von Zipper Sky Labs and so far I really like them.
But if I had to do it over again, I would go with a goggle that includes a free extra lense. And the extra lense many times is a low light/evening lense. It sucks when you are boarding and the sun is mostly gone and things start to get dim. I hate having an impared range of vision, so I can see why you are wanting to get a goggle with a low light lense.

I selected some Oakley Splices with my coupon and really like them. I like them so much I bought 2 more pairs (different lens on each). Good field of vision although not huge like some goggles, the lens are unbeatable, no fogging. I also have the Dragon Rogue (like them a lot, put them on the same level as the Splices) and Electric EG2 (new, haven't worn them on the slopes yet).

I got the electric eg2's and i love them, they run pretty big, so depends on if you hve a helmet or not too. But electric eg2's are my suggestion. They rule!

Sorry for the late reply. I bought some other stuff (and thats why it does pay to give out these codes!!) with it so I got the free shipping. The Oakleys that I bought retailed for 110 without discounts (member or just general discounts) so the $10 was the extra 10 I had to pay for them from the 100 I got taken off :)

I went with the Von Zipper Feenoms... the Bob Marley colorway is just sick. Good sizing.... a bit smaller than my eg2 but in a good way. Very comfy, and the 2nd low light lens made them a steal.... only 11$ after the discount!

So does anyone know if the goggles you can buy have to be under 100 or if they actually give you a hundred dollars to spend on goggles. Im almost positive it will be the first option but it would be pretty sweet if it wasn't, because I am also nearing 1500 points!!!!!!!!

Hey, good morning! Why read the thread to find out the answer when you can just jump right in and ask! They will give you $100 toward ANY 2012 and older google they have in stock. Any amount over $100, you pay the difference plus shipping costs. It does not have to be under $100, it is a credit for $100. You pay the difference.

^ precisely that. I also said that before in a post just further up. People need to read the entire thread instead of just opening up the title and commenting straight down the bottom! |

I also think for some goggles (depending on which year-new or old I can't remember) you get 100 off the RETAIL price..
I remember because I tried to get the Electric EG2 last winter when I got to 1500 points and it was still pretty darn expensive because it was 100 off the retail price--not the discounted price you get what you pay for it. Just something to keep in mind. |

I got the Danny Kass Crowbars, but A-frames fit my face better. I think I'll try to sell the crowbars nearer to the season's start.

You can get anything thats not 2013. You can also go over 100$ you just have to pay the difference. And of course shipping.

I know someone already mentioned the Feenoms, but does anyone know which other goggles come with a second lens? It isnt clear from the descriptions. I night ride at Boreal sometimes and I have to just take my goggles off because I cant see.
