izlat Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Hello all This is more riding vs. climbing but someone might be in the know and willing to share it I am trying to understand what would be the best goggles to purchase for riding around Rainier in July. I think my polarized sunglasses (Native Nano 2 - I like them much better than the 2 pairs of Oakleys I have and they also have much better warranty and are cheaper!) should be enough but if we get a whiteout and high winds, i might need a pair of goggles. It seems that I would only need a yellow / rose lens for this but I am not sure. I am prepared to spend as much as I need for top quality product. Any opinions on the Oakley Wisdom? I am no fan of Oakleys but would get them if they are worth it. Zeal seems to be pretty cheap but might be just as good? I was thinking of Aspect or Link models, come with both rose and yellow lenses that can be swapped. The others I think about are Spy Blizzards, Bugz Batz (I like the style, silver over rose lens, look pretty dope) and Electric. I might also go with Arnette or Smith but they are not high on my list Thanks and more power to you ivo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lummox Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 you have at least three pairs of sunglasses and know the name of each = youre gay or gay acting. whynt you wrap some clear saran wrap around yur head to define a new gay style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphinx Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Don't go expensive. I got a pair of 50 buck smiths, and they have never fogged up, ever. They don't have excessive airflow, and they are comfy. Yellow lens. For glaciers in summer you want something dark, glacier glasses will probably do fine. Again, don't spend too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gapertimmy Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 or... just go up to any of the ski hills right now, stevens, the pass, and i'm sure you could find a pair of goggles in the melt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izlat Posted June 5, 2003 Author Share Posted June 5, 2003 lummox you are so concerned with being / acting gay - deep down you are afraid you are gay yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chucK Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 In this case Rainier Beer goggles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj001f Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 The Oakley Wisdom's aren't worth it - they didn't work any better than their cheaper goggles. And I didn't find their "look" me. Stick to cheap goggles (<$50) because they're going to get scratched and beat to shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izlat Posted June 5, 2003 Author Share Posted June 5, 2003 that's what I thought about the Wisdoms too - thanks! as for the beer goggles - i don't drink beer... vodka, scotch, bourbon, etc - that's my stuff. lum - in case you didn't get this: i have no goggles and all the shades I have are worth crap if weather turns bad. also, I have accumulated the shades over a period since '96 thank you all guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayner Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Save your ride for RAMROD (July 31). Look for Dwayner running on the side of the road with a croquet mallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
