i was going to say....whats all this 'slipping on' business.

I would say it is a very long way from slipping on in my experience. Would be faster for me to put 4 new wheels with studded tyres on!

Is the snow train full of like minded skiers? Is it a bit of a 'party train'?

When I get in tonight I will post it up. I got the link off someone else on this site. Might not be accurate, but makes me feel better!!

they burn your eyes thou :thumbdown:

Nope proper UV protection and this years came with cat 1, 3 and 4 lenses.

If they fit you, buy them. Do they look good. Di they make you look like an expert skiier? Or is that just me that wants that to happen?

So, now we are all straight......

What do you prefer? Sunglasses or goggles on a nice day? I know conditions are a lot to do with preference but for me a decent pair of goggles with my lid is better. As good as my oakleys are, I get watery eyes with speed. Goggles also give a warmer face :)

I dont think designer glasses are meant to be 'better', it is just that people prefer the look and feel of them.

Hmm, being a bit of a pessimist when it comes to human nature, I wonder just how well a pair of $3 glasses would sell when badged as Oakley, RayBan or any of the many named brands and put on the rack at $150.

Equally, I would be willing to bet if you took the name off of the branded glasses and started selling them at $3, the sales for them would drop right off.

That is a bit extreme. My pair of oakleys at £55 if they sold for £30 brand name of , "cheap sunnies" I would still buy them. Like I said on the comment above, the £3 tend to burn your eyes as they dont have protective qualities.

Just my opinion. :roll: :thumbup:
