Hi I would just say that the most expensive are not always the best , i tried oakley and found them uncomfortable ,sold them on ebay and bought some sinner ones , half the price and they are excellent. Try your helmet on when buying them as other people have suggested . Lense colours are important but a yellow/orange tint is fine unless very bright. Basically but from a shop rather than online as comfort and fit are important and dont worry about names and labels! Hope this helps,

Just because you bought a pair of Oakleys doesn't mean they are all the same. All the Oakley Goggles I have tried (Crowbar/Wisdom/A Frame) are a completely different fit. The Sinner one's might be great for your face but it doesn't mean that they are good for everyone.

Worry about names if you are clumsy, Oakley warranty is excellent and rather than laughing at you for sitting on your goggles and cracking the frame they will probably replace it for a nominal charge. Magic.

my point exactly , just trying to suggest that very point that its worth trying one differnt makes rather than the standard suggestion of oakley! With regards to Warranty , advice is dont sit on them!

...or drop them or crack them or have someone else sit on them or have them cracked in your luggage. Unfortunately they don't cover them for loss (2 pairs) :(

If there is another brand with a similar warranty and a good quality product at a cheaper price - tell me and I will change allegiance. Until then...

Some helmets come with a "goggle gasket" in case the goggles are little too small to get a good 'seal' as such.
