Wattup guys, I'm getting some new goggles and just wanted your opinionsI have a graphite Smith Hustle Helmet and usually where the goggle's over a beanie and underneath the helmet.

So simply said which should i get?

Smith I/O's or Oakley Crowbar Splices?

*If you think a certain year or color would look steeziest lemme know.

Mucho +k yo.

 
i/o's. you get two lenses and its super quick and easy to change them out. also i think they are a better looking goggle imo
 
It's not hard to take out and put in lenses in Oakley goggles... Take ms a minute or two to do so. When would you need to change a lens in 10 seconds? IMO crowbars look better to with better lenses
 
If you already have a Smith helmet, I would definitely get the I/Os. Even though airbrake lenses are easier to switch (I've seen an Oakley rep change lenses in about six seconds), your I/Os will never fog because of Smith's integration system. Plus the I/Os cost less in most cases.
 
My airbrakes never fog with my holt. The fit is not bad either at all. I'm not fussed on how quick lenses can be chaned it's all about how easy it actually is to do it
 
Oh and I guess misread what you wrote. If you're comparing the Splice and the I/O, Splice lenses take much longer to change than I/O lenses
 
i dont know why everyone needs 2 lenses. i got my splices with pink iridium and love them. paid 40 bucks less then the io. plus i feel like the build is sturdier on the splices. the pink iridium is mirror'd but still bright enough for those shitty days. i love mine so far
 
airbrakes are the quickest, ive had all 3 pairs too. They also fit my face the best out of all 3. Such a good purchase.
 
I can tell u why someone would need two lenses or the ability to switch really fast. I ski at big mtn in Montana and we have a heavy heavy fog that sits in and at anytime that fog may split to reveal sunshine. I have a very low light lense for the hairy fog and a couple sun lenses as well
 
I love my splices. Look sick and are super comfy. The I/O's are good but I prefer the splices personally. My friend has a smith helmet and the splices look sick so if you were worried about style, there ya go
