Lets start this off with I didn't search at all. There probably are threads on this already I just don't know about them

I need new goggles pretty badly and have made the choice between Oakley Crowbars (last years) or the Electric EG2. I've kind of been leaning towards the Crowbars because they're a bit cheaper and I like to color but the EG2s look like they have the best field of vision which is what I'm really looking for.

So which one? (To the people who have tried one or the other.)
 
smith I/Os. best goggle ever, they come with 2 lenses, a goggle box, and a goggle bag. plus the field of vision is so good
 
Smith I/Os take out the Crowbars on field of vision by far, as well as comfort/fit and originality, since you won't look like every other kid on the hill.
 
eg2s have the largest possible. my brp has them, i tried them on and you cant see any of the frame at all. not even comparable to crowbars
 
EG2s are good but they don't fit helmets well, i've tried wearing them with a helmet and its pretty awkward. Either way crowbars are my fav.
 
id say c-bars if you wear a helmet
and eg2's if you dont. cuz eg2's are fucking awkward with a helmet from me trying them on instore but my crowbars are fine with all three of my helmets :) (bern macon, smith holt, red mutiny)eg2's are definitely like 2x the field of vision tho.
 
I can vouch that the Smith I/O perfectly interfaces with all helmets I've used due to a pivot point side. I've used them flawlessly with Smith Hustle, Smith Holt, Smith Variant Brim, Bern Baker & Macon, and any lame Giro.
 
I love my I/Os, huge field of vision. Others to look at are the EG2s and the POC Lobes. I personally dont think that the cbars have nearly the field of vision as the other goggles that I listed.
 
i know it wasnt a suggestion yet, bt for future reference, scott ransom's field of vision is so shitty, cbars are great though, the only problem is the replacement lenses are 70 bucks a pop
 
i run a lift at a local mountain. every kid ive seen with those goggles, i can smell their cologne before they are even on the chair. if you are that guy, then by all means, get them. otherwise get EG2s. its like not wearing goggles at all. very lightweight and super fast lens changes.
 
sorry i sound like a complete noob but do u know how to replace crowbar lenses can someone pm me witha link or somthing? cause iv never had a pair of cbars b4 and i will give +++++++karma
 
eg2's hands down. i've had a pair since around christmas and they are by far the best goggles i've had. plus they fit real nice with a helmet if you have the goggles underneath. its basically like not having goggles on at all since they lenses are so fuckin huge
