Had cheap pair around the £35 mark before and ended up chucking them due to poor ventilation.
I have a pair of Oakley A frames hat i find gives really good ventilation allowing air to flow at the top of the lense and the bottom of the frame.
I also picked up a pair of electric EG1s on sale that I'm itching to use.

Smith have a good rep but Oakley's disintegrating? Never mind just one but 5 pairs? News to me.
Does anyone wear sunglasses instead of goggles? Do they basically have the same function? I find goggles make me itch
Sunglasses are fine when it's sunny, but don't do so well when it's snowing or windy. Not so good when there is poor light IME.

Tried Oakley goggles for a few years but found they disintergrated after about 2 days and fogged up badly. Had them replaced five times by Oakley before I gave up. Went to Smith glasses for yeasr but now have gone for the Smith IO. Man they are the dogs... Fantastic with or without a helmet. Easy change lenses too.
Liked them so much got the wife a pair too and believe it or not they improved her skiing. She can see the snow now.
Worth every penny

Yeah the foam kept falling off from around my forehead. Either the glue could nt handle the cold or my ski (I can only guess).
Also I could not believe how soft the lenses were.
Used Alpina climbing goggles for a few years. Now they were tough with their ceramic lenses. They eventually gave up the ghost and the elastic went on them (about 10yrs of hard use).
Now I am Smiths all the way. 8)

You must be incredibly unlucky, myself and a load of friends have racked up plenty days well below -30 in the Rockies without issue. No luck, eh.
