I am in between 2 goggles for the ski season and wanted to see others options, for context I get a massive discount so they are both very good prices.

Spy Marauder Elite 112$ (Normally 280$)

Oakley Flight Deck L 93$ (Normally 186$)

I am an East coast night skier so I will have to buy replacement clear lens for either of them but not really sure on what I should get.
 
for what its worth Oakley makes a good product they have dropped a little but still good however over the last 3 season I have had 5 different companies goggles and the SPY has been the best overall as far are lens quality, construction etc .. now Oakley could regain that title for me if .. They made a NON magnet quick change system .. I ski a lot of nights too and SPYs quick change on the Legacy line of of goggles is the best in the industry IMO give those a look ... If you do intend to go with Oakley the HI PINK lens is amazing at night BTW and SPYs yellow with green Spectra is also

So, the legacy I can get for 88$ brand new or I could buy the Marauder Elite for 112$ brand new. Any opinion there? Obviously price but because its such a good deal, those prices aren't a big deal. I was leaning toward the Marauder Elites because I've seen some Pros use them but obviously that shouldn't be the reason I buy them.

honestly SPY makes a great product I only have used their legacy and bravo models because I have a preference for the spherical lenses but the marauder elites look sick and im willing to bet they have the same quality as the legacy so if it was me picking those two id lean towards the legacy but pick what you think will fit your face the best and integrate with your hemet (if you wear one) best
