Oakley A-Frame Goggle

The a-frame has always been the main stay of Oakley's line and my day sack.
Should be the first goggle to try when finally switching out of those gawd-awful low end cheapies.
And shall be benchmark for all following goggle purchases for years to come.

Hard to fog, even easier to vent.
Light weight
Seemingly one-size fits all.
Decent field of vision for the size.
A wide selection of snap-in lenses.

The only complaint I would have about these are bad luck.
I've destroyed a couple of these bad boys.

I had a pair of these a few years back, great for smaller faces.

the A-frame used to be the pinnacle of snowsport optics, but is now on a level below the Crowbar and Splice. Still, for those with smaller faces, the A-frame represents a great option. They have the same HDO spherical lens technology as all other high-end Oakley goggles, but in a smaller package. Even in comparison to the high-end offerings of other brands, these are small. The frame also lasts FOREVER, as will any non-iridium lenses. a good buy if you have a small face, otherwise jump on the crowbar or the splice.

The A-frame is durable, easy to use, great looking and with superior optics.

I got my first pair back in 98 or so and I still rock them on occasion. I got a couple of more now and they all have hold op amazingly well. The rubber band is still tight and the lenses have withstand travel to the alps, the norther pars of Norway, countless after skis and more.

The only real downside with the A-frame is it's constraints on the peripheral vision. The frame is a bit narrow and has a lot of bulk so when skiing switch or looking over your shoulder you might have problems. When snowboarding it's however never caused mentionable problems for me.

Bottom line: Durable with superior optics. Limits your peripheral vision.

first off i gotta say these goggles are phenomenal. i have a relatively smaller face and these fit perfectly. they are comfortable, decent vision and look very nice. i have a smith holt and it fits nicely with it, and this goggle is a ratherr hard goggle to find a helmet that fits because of its curved bar on the top. and now with tit's incredibly cheap price now is the time to buy these. my goggles, white text/black iridiums are amazing, only one goggle is better and thats the splice (which i loveeee as well. go check out my review for that) this goggle and the splice make an incredible duo. these do not fog UNLESS you get moisture on the inside of the lense and wipe it with your glove >.< which is what i did, but thats not the goggles fault, thats mine. anyways great goggle, great style, great price, buy em. you won't be sorry,

Tight fit googles are in guys, over sized ones are all over the shop and these tightfit gogs are they way to go!!

i bought a pair of these with the blue lens and they are the second best goggle i ever had i like the crowbars a little better but still a good pair of goggles

I've had these goggles for a year now and the bottom line is:no fogging issues, luxuriously comfortable, superior optic clarity, and 95% peripheal vision. If you have a small/medium face buy these now!....and thank me later.

just like everyone else says, these are legit and they look super sick too.

these haven't changed much in years (if it ain't broke yada yada yada)... and they're still the poster child for high quality, great fitting (they even fit larger faces), stylie goggles... i've moved on from these to the bigger bolder and better peripherally visioned electic EG.2's, but my a-frames are always in my bag just in case... i've gone through a lot of these frames in all different colors with all types of lenses, and can recommend that you go with the upgraded lenses over the stocks (i suggest the G30 as my all time versatile fave, as well as the high intensity yellow for flat light days, and the black iridium for super bluebird days... if you have to go with the cheaper stock lens, opt for the VR50 over the persimmon)... oakley lenses are second to none in terms of clarity, quality, and choice.

I do love Oakley products so when I was unhappy with another brand I got the Oakley A-Frame. I was snowboarding in temps from single digits to 52 degrees & they never let me down!! Great visibility, great style & NO FOGGING!! Awesome goggles!

These goggles fit perfect even though I have a little bit of a wide face. Great field of vision, the venting works perfect and they haven't fogged on me once! (other than when i eat it hard and snow gets inside or clogs the vents). With dogfunk's sale, i was actually able to get two pairs (one with a black iridium lens for sunny days and one with a high intensity yellow lens for stormy days) for less than the price of the additional storm lens by itself at oakley.com

This is a really good goggle at an awesome price. I would definitely recommend them.

Baddest little pair of goggles I've owned.

Delivered very quickly. Look great! Got them for my boyfriend and he loved them. :)

No fogging! Super comfy! I almost hope for overcast weather or night time conditions because I love to use these. A+ Indeed. It's not bad getting compliments on your gear either!

in response to dude asking about s4 goggles, i have heard of them this season, but i've never used them. from what i hear though, they are really customizable, and they look pretty sweet. theres a lifetime guarantee so i guess you couldnt go wrong with them. i still like the a frames.i used these goggles for 5 or six years and they are to this day some of my favorite goggles. never had problems with them, never fog, no scratches and they look so simple and clean. everyone should have a pair of a frames in their closet.

I've been wearing the same pair of these since I started riding in 2000 and I've never had a single problem with them. They have fogged on my maybe 3 times since then and that was in the absolute worst conditions (there were very few of us on the mountain it was that bad). They aren't bulky at all, super comfy (and I've tried on so many goggles over the past 10 years just trying to see if anyone comes close, none do) great venting, and durable (10 years is a pretty good run for a set of goggles i think).

Bottom line is these are awesome!

These goggles are great. Your going to spend a little more money but the perpherial vision and clarity are awesome. Well worth it if your a person who wears goggles.

I use the Jet Black/HI Persimmon as my sunny day goggles...They transition nicely from early morning shadows to sun beating down.

If there is one thing you shouldn't look at the price it's jacket,pants and GOGGLES.
A-Frame will never bring you down. perfect ventilation and great field of view

Sweet google good piece

I got the Oakleys with the fire lens, and in low light situations that lens sucks. So be careful if you go snowboarding often in low light situations like me the fire lens looks cool but you can't see in flat light!

these are amazing i have the jet b lack with fire and nothing is better to stop those annoying rays reflecting in your eyes and they even add to your perifrial vision to help recognize your surroundings!

I really like these goggles. They look sick and are really comfortable. They do fog, but not unless you're really sweating a ton (like sometimes in the spring). The lens color is good (I think I got the prissimon something). They fit real good with the RED HI FI helmet... no gap between the helmet and the goggles. Anyway, overall, comfortable, sexy, great for the price. Get em!

Oakley has great lenses for both their goggles and sunglasses, and the A Frame is a nice, basic option. It fits small to medium faces well enough and is a good fit with a helmet.

These pretty much deliver everything you could possibly want in a goggle, theyre straight up impossible to fog up, super comfortable, stylin, and depending which lens you have (I got the grey Iridium) theyre super HD. Buy em!

i do emergency services work for the state from time to time and these are the same goggles designed for that purpose. they meet all the safety specifications for impact resistance and other standards. there are many color options for fan-boys and hipsters to get your steez on, and many lens options for any riding conditions. i've never had the inner lens fog up. they are comfortable with or without a helmet

This goggles are awesome! The fit is perfect, lenses are great, and they are the most comfortable goggles I have ever worn. A must buy!

this goggles were pretty good more those who usually loves to wear goggles and i think if they buy this one, they will like it, it is the product of Oakley and it give high quality.

I'm choosing between the A Frames or some S4 goggles. Has anyone heard about or had any S4 goggles? Were they quality? shitty?...do they even exist?
