Why would you need anything else when you're wearing the best? The Oakley A Frame gives you all you need from function to simple style.
Lens fog is a performance killer, so Oakley developed a three-tiered defense and put it in the Oakley A-Frame. First, they devised surge ports to control airflow. Second, they formulated F-3 Series anti-fog treatment. Third, they engineered a dual lens design to reduce fog with a thermal barrier of trapped air. Then they took all that technology and juiced it with the precision of HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS®  (HDO® ), topping it off with a wish list from the pros: 100% UV filtering, impact protection that meets all standards, durable urethane that stays flexible, and comfortable triple-layer polar fleece foam with moisture wicking. About the only thing you don'­t get with the A-Frame goggle is fog.
Features
  • Optimized for small to medium faces
  • Fog elimination of dual vented lenses with F3 anti-fog technology
  • All-Day comfort of moisture wicking triple-layer polar fleece foam
  • Comfort of balanced pressure with or without a helmet via articulating O-Matter®  strap clips

As a result of the convinced articulating O-matter strap clips, it makes this pair of goggles comfortable and just right for wearing with or without a helmet.

The Oakley A Frame Polarized goggle is part of Oakley's first generation of polarized goggles. For bright days, these are the goggle of choice if you already appreciate polarized glasses. The A Frame is built to withstand long-range solar attacks and short-range meteorological events. Polarized lenses reduce glare from icy, shiny surfaces. Don't worry, you won't lose any of the A Frame's famous optical clarity or wide peripheral view. A triple layer of face foam insulates and provides maximum comfort.

Worth the money

Rating:*****

I love my Oakley A Frames. I had been riding with Smiths and Scotts, and just made the switch to Oakleys. I will never go back. They fit really well with my Red Helmet. Zero Gap. Like everyone says, they are so comfy and clear that you forget that you are wearing them. The air circulation is amaxing, they DO NOT FOG.
I got the HI Persimmon lens. It works really well and in average sun too and with mixed light in the trees. I can see all the variation of the snow and avoid the icey patches! It is ok with bright days... but I am thinking about getting a bright day replacement lens.

To get the frame and lenses I wanted I ordered a custom pair from Oakley for the regular retail price.

Basically. Worth the investment.

Cut Down The Glare and Everything Else

Rating:*****

i have had many pairs of goggles in my years riding, from dragon, to eletric, to smith, to spy, to oakley with a huge variety of lenses (fire, pink iridium, persimmon, vr28, g30) and none of them come close to the high intensity amber polarized A-frames. the lens says for "changing conditions" on oakley's website, but i have used them in bluebird days, snowy days, white out days, and everything in between and they have worked wonders in all those conditions. i would recommend a pair to anyone, and as a bonus, they fit perfectly with most helmets

Heart them!

Rating:*****

So, I've rocked lots of goggles in my time. Vowed I'd never rock Oakley's, but gave in after hearing such good things. I absolutely love these! They are my first pair of polarized as well, and the difference is amazing. Even in flat light, they add definition to the mountain around me! They haven't fogged up, even when bending over to strap into my board, nor when I bury my face in my jacket to keep warm on the stinging cold days! I definitely recommend this goggle.

Loved 'Em!

Rating:*****

These goggles were sweet!! I got the VR28 - Polarized and skied last week where we had the brightest of days and the snowiest of days (14+ inches in one day alone!). These were versatile and I could see pretty clearly in all conditions. They did me better in the sun, but I never found myself blind in the snow.

I highly recommend them!!

p.s. I got the Khaki Military which are pretty cool, bc they have velcro change-out patches with the Oakley logo.

solid goggles

Rating:*****

Just spent a week in Aspen with my new oakley goggles and this is the best pair of goggles I've ever owned. No fog. Great venting. Even in bitter cold weather with a mask over my mouth, the lens stayed clear. Love the polarized lens. Only complaint is that the strap could be a little longer/stretchier. I have a R.E.D. helmet, and I had to stretch the goggle strap tight to get it all the way around.

Great Goggles

Rating:*****

These goggles breathe incredibly well. Having polarized lenses helped immensely on those bright days. They handled transitions (in-and-out of the shadows) better than either of my other cheap-o goggles. And, in low light conditions, I was still able to see clearly and avoid rocky obstacles on narrow trails as opposed to guessing what the slightly gray patch was in front of me!
I highly recommend these.

Oakley A frame Hi Intensity Amber Polarized Goggles

Rating:*****

A friend recommended the Oakley A Frame Polarized Goggles over a year ago, however I was reluctant to spend $200 on goggles. That problem was solved with the great deal I got from here. These goggles are great for high light conditions but are also excellent for low light, flat light conditions. They seem to amplify the undulations in the snow. Great deal and product.

Sick Goggles, No Glare

Rating:*****

I have worn many goggles and none can compare to these. There is absolutely no glare. They are very comfortable and fit the face very well. I wear them with a helmet and they easily adjust without stretching beyond the point where it wont go back to normal. Fleece lining feels great in the heart of the winter. Damn expensive but well worth it.

Great Value

Rating:****

Can't beat the price on TD for these polarized goggles. The lense block a lot of light which will be great for bright days but I'm not sure how they will perform in low/flat light conditions. They are a bit darker then my friend's Uvex polarized googles, so I may carry a lighter lens goggle as back up for a few days.

pricey but quality product

Rating:*****

Though I, too, was reluctant to make the $$$ purchase, I was recommended Oakley and found a good deal. I do have to say you will be satisfied with em--comfortable adjustable fit (fitting with or without helmet), good looking and durable. What I really wanted was a goggle that was best for flatlight and these were an improvement on my last pair.

Good goggles

Rating:***

These goggles are pretty sweet, the high amber lenses are great and work well in a variety of conditions but to be honest i have a pair of Smith Phenoms i use on sunnier days that fog alot less often and they are a little cheaper or the same price depending on which lenses you get.
