I actualy got these goggles brand new not a scratch on them in the case with all the oakley stuff (receipt etc.) for $0.50 at this thrift store! That was the highlight of my vacation to AZ. I rocked them for 4 years untill they were beat and I recently got some zeals witch I cant coplain about them exept for how much they cost compaired to a deal of a lifetime.

I originally bought these for snowboarding, and I saw this here so I decided I may as well review it. I just couldn't see why you would use these for biking. Anyways, a great value for the price I paid, I don't recommend for biking, but for snowboarding.

I bought these goggles for skiing, and they are great (amber lens). Wore them skydiving on my 1st jump and they are PERFECT for that, I'll wear them from now on everytime I "jumpout.". Why would anybody wear these for anything like mountain biking?

Demo'd many other goggles...
Bottom Line:
I can't tell you enough how much of a fan I am of Oakley. I have about three different types of M Frames and Racing Jackets for racing, and all of them have been great. I also own a pair of Juliet's (Rudy ones), and while I had to mortgage my bike to buy them they to have been great! These goggles though I got mainly cause I needed a new pair, but secondly to support Oakley. But Unfortunately I just am not all that pleased with them. The first day I wore them, they were great, but the rest of the week they fogged up constantly. It wasn't because they were wet inside or whatever, but they just didn't provide me with the satisfation I had expected from my other glasses. Another point I want to make is that the goggles have blind spots in the bottom corners. Some goggles you'll notice it, but as I was boarding I noticed that the lenses really restrict your line of vision...
