Slipping a pair of Oakley's Wisdom Goggles on your face for the first time is a lot like slipping behind the wheel of a new luxury sports car or sport SUV--the universal descriptors revolve around eloquent terms like "wow" and "nice." The Oakley Wisdom Goggle might define the pinnacle of ski and snowboard fashion prestige, but the exceptional optical performance seals the deal for most discriminating and skeptical buyers. The second-nature fit is the result of a soft ergonomic frame and three-layer foam featuring progressively thicker densities for a plush and weather tight seal. The Oakley Wisdom Goggle has a curved lens that extends downward further than many goggle designs so you see more without moving your head. When aesthetics matter most, some buyers choose the sculpted and perforated lower vent construction found on Oakley's Wisdom Goggle over the foam insert vents on the Oakley A Frame, but what you may not know is that the vent holes on the Oakley Wisdom Goggles were specifically positioned to direct the airflow away from your eyes, which matters at altitudes where freezing temperatures and dry air can whither soft contacts into crystal raisins. The strap has a clean hinged attachment that won't interfere with most helmet designs, although Oakley does sell an articulated snap-on accessory strap for the Wisdom Goggle. One thing to keep in mind--Oakley designed their Wisdom Snow Goggles for medium to large faces. If you wear a small size helmet, you might be better served with the sizing of the Oakley A Frame Goggle.
Stylish & tight fit
The clarity of Oakley's lenses are amazing. Very tight fit, protects great. I would buy this product again.
Terrific Goggle
I purchased the Oakley Wisdom goggle after finding the special on the 2008 model. They are a truly fantastic goggle. Soft fleece lined foam makes a comfortable seal to the face, and the adjustable strap with 3 stripes of a "rubbery" material keeps the strap in place on the days when the helmet comes out. They appear to have great viewing angles. The lens has a solid feeling and appears to move more than enough air to prevent fogging. I also like the fact that Oakley sells replacement lenses as I have concluded that clear lenses usually work best for me but only last a year or 2 of tree skiing. Hopefully the frame will hold up through several lens replacements. I would recommend these to a friend.
Great All Around Goggle
I use these goggles for skiing and four wheeling to keep dust out of my eyes. This is the cheapest of three pairs of oakley goggles that I own and every bit as good as the rest. For the price they cant be beat.
