Product Review: Oakley Prizm Goggles (Revolutionary FLAT Light Lenses??)

Not worth the Money!
I was actually on this ride with Chris. I had the opportunity to wear these Oakley goggles on 2 different occasions during the day. I was mostly wearing my personal KLIM Radius Pro goggles. I was not at all impressed with the Oakley goggle. The fitment was horrible and the clarity and sharpness was no better than my KLIM goggles. In fact, I think it was worse. I feel these goggles would work well for a skier or snow boarder. They do not work well though for sledding, especially the style and fitment going onto a helmet. I will definately stick to my $120 pair of KILM goggles comapred to these Oakleys at $260 a pair! Just my 2 cents!

Did you take the goggles back Christopher?
No sir.
they are still new in the box.
Only one ride
Did not take them out this weekend, was too cold to wear them given the high air flow they have.
<hr style="color:#e8e8e8; background-color:#e8e8e8" size="1"> DAY 2 REPORT.
Finally had the opportunity to spend a 2nd full day with these goggles on under another day of overcast flat light.
These goggles continue to flow more air through them than my others, and "some" snow dust as well. If you tend to build up more face heat, you might really appreciate the added airflow they offer?
I still fail to see any substantial difference in snow depth perception from these to my KLIM, so long as I am going from Rose colored to Rose Colored lenses.
For me, and those I have been riding with, we simply do not see the difference that the manufacturer claims.
I will offer these goggles, worn TWICE, for $200 to anyone who would like them.
