Oakley O-frame.

Got about 4/5 pairs that I use for motocross, cannot fault them. Pattern lenses and tear offs are easily available and cheap.

O-frames or Crowbars. Cheap and they make instant sense the moment you try to get spare lens' for an alternative brand

I've got some Crowbar MX and they're great! They come with a set of laminated tear offs too

Never Oakleys unless you actually like seeing through steamed up plastic.

new original and "patern" lenses (and tear offs) are easily available cheap online for most goggles

I found Oakleys steamed up quite a bit. I used smith warp stars and found them brilliant

Always used o-frames - cheap, very easy to get spare lenses / tearoffs either Oakley or copies. As for steaming up just take the foam off the vents and give them a swing around your head before a run (assuming u using for dh) that helps prevent/reduce it

This. Steaming up only been a problem in the wet, I don't bother to take the foam off though.

Oakley Crowbar MX for me - but as above, make sure they fit your helmet

Ones that fit your helmet/face. Quite a lot of goggs sit on the bridge of my nose, which is distracting and can make it run ๐Ÿ˜•

Never Oakleys unless you actually like seeing through steamed up plastic.

I've know people who don't even own Oakleys recommend them! Probly cos they're "the brand" to have?

I was recommended double glazed ski goggles to combat misting and bought a pair of these:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/DOUBLE-WEATHER-GOGGLES-MERCURY-LENSES/dp/B001NIC9V6

They happen to fit my face nicely & don't mist easily (but it can be acheived). The strap has a clip so you don't have to slide them up your helmet to get them off - meaning they don't push loads of crap into your eyes when you slide them down again.

Can't really go wrong with O Frame Mxs IMO. Spy Klutch also most excellent.

Cheers everyone - some good options to check out there.

They're not actually for 'DH' tho although the intended use if for descents if that makes sense! Cheers again
