Several places are offering 40-50% off their remaining stock here over the summer.
I am looking to build out a 2 or 3 goggle/lens quiver.
We are moving from VT to CO late this summer, so light conditions are going to change when we ski most weeks.
Currently I have been extremely happy with a pair of Oakley A-Frame Prizm Rose. They have provided great visibility in just about every light condition here in New England the last several years. They are certainly weakest in super sunny, and white out conditions. However, they do better than my old pair of Dragon NFX2 goggles on sunny days with lots of shadows.
I am not concerned that much about a true storm lens, as I will be day tripping to ski, and probably not venturing onto I-70 when it is nuking.
I am thinking I will need a pair of lenses with a darker tint for Colorado bluebird days, especially above treelike. We have Epic Summit Value Passes this season (mostly to ski with my Dad on an Epic Military $99 pass).
I am looking at Smith Chromapop options from $65-110 and Giro Vivid goggles in the $70-90 range. Another pair of Oakleys would be an easy match, but the cost would be higher.
Suggestions on lens Chormapop Sun vs Chormapop Everyday vs Giro Vivid Royal vs Giro Vivid Emerald?
Any advice would be great. Thanks!
