Oakley Crowbar Goggle

These goggle have been amazing for me especially for my snowboard races or some park riding. they also look really cool in my sandbox helmet. I have the yellow and red ones with the blue reflective tint.

I have to admit, I loved these goggles at first, but after about 5 days of riding I broke my lense, oakley was kind enough to replace them. I had those for almost 2 months then cracked them down the middle again. Oakley wouldnt replace them that time so i=I decided to buy some with my money, I split the lense in half yesterday, I will never buy oakley goggles again!

First of all, these are Oakleys, so you can't go wrong. No fogging, great comfort, good quality, and of course good style. I own a pair of these and love them. The lens are crystal clear and you often forget you're wearing them.
To help those who are trying to decide between Crowbars, Wisdoms, and A-Frames hopefully I can help.
First, the A-Frames tend to fit a medium to smaller face. They're definately the smallest of the three. Because of this they also have the least amount of peripherel vision when wearing them. However, if you're face is smaller you probably won't notice this anyways.
The Crowbars and Wisdoms are made for the medium to larger faces. Both have a bigger field of view than the A-Frames but are slightly differently shaped. The Crowbars and A-frames have the typical goggle shape while the Wisdoms have more of a rounded shape towards the bottom. I find that the Crowbars fit tighter around your nose than the Wisdoms do. So if you have a bigger nose I would go with the Wisdoms.
Either way, all three are great goggles, and better yet, if you order from here and they don't fit, you can send them back and change your order without any problem. These guys have GREAT customer service!

Good Goggle, but if your goggles fly off and the inside of the lens gets wet don't wipe it dry because you will ruin a very expensive lens. So your screwed if your on the hill and this happens....LAME. $125 lame

I picked up the Crowbars (matte white/black iridium) before the season and was super stoked to try them out. When the first ski day rolled around I slipped these over my helmet and was not disappointed. The outriggers, while looking slightly odd with a hat, offer the best fit over a helmet I have ever had. Whether I was rocking them over my Giro G10MX or under my Giro Shiv the goggles fit perfectly and the silicon kept them firmly in place. The goggles also offer you a great range of vision especially peripheral and the Black Iridium lens, not only is mirrored so it looks sick but is great for bluebird sun to overcast conditions. Now for night skiing the goggles made it easy to pop out the iridium and put in a clear crowbar lens that I bought extra. I loved how the goggles blended style, great vision, ZERO fogging and an awesome fit, perfect for an aggressive and avid skier like myself. Oakley has made some of the best products over the years and continues to do so while also creating newer and better innovative products.

These goggles look, are comfortable, and have a great field of vision. The tack on the back of the strap really holds to your helmet or hat, and the strap is big enough to fit over helmets or whatever. The venting works well in low wind conditions, but when it gets too windy(20mph+), they let in way too much cold air and your eyes and face get very cold. Overall a solid goggle.

Other reviews already give proof that the Crowbar is one of the best goggles on the market as far as fit, fashion, and function, but you should also know that they take a lickin' and keep on tickin'. when you come down from a cross-continental flight and your face meets your knees, you'll be glad you went with Oakleys.

Super soft frames with sick lenses make the Oakley Crowbar Goggles easy to wear non-stop. I bought a pair last fall, and fell asleep with them on they were so comfy. Once winter rolled around, no more sleeping - they held up great for hours of snowboarding. They fit well with a helmet, both over the back and under. They also are small enough to fit small faces, yet large enough to protect from the elements. Pink Iridium lenses are dark enough to cruise the park during the day, as well as highlighting the ground during the shadowless evenings. Definitely better than all of the Spy's, Anon's, and Dragon's I've worn before.

LOVE THIS GOGGLES, I've had some before, just needed another pair. Chose this ones cause they are GREAT on sunny days to medium flat light days. They don't fog up for nothing. Oakley sure does kick butt!

I have a bit of an obsession when it comes to the oakley crowbar. I have 6 different pairs each with a different lens. Ya I know. But these are by far the best goggles that I have ever used, and I have used many different types of electric, smith, and even other oakley's. I have the Black Ird., and Fire Ird. lens's for those bright sunny days, and the Pink Ird., and the HI Yellow len's for those overcast days. But my fav lens is by far the Grey Polerized. It works wonders when it is really bright out and is also good for the overcast days, my go anywhere do anything lens you could say. Also the endless combinations of the frame/strap/outriggers keep these googles in a class of their own while making you stand out. So bottom line if you are in search of a pair of goggles that make your view of the mountain, hand rail, or gnarly cliff drop, look better, they also make you look damn cool while you do them.

I ride with a helmet and no hat underneath. These goggles work so well for someone that wants to keep there face and head warm. I hiked in these all last season and skied countless days of pow in them.

first of all, these are excellent goggles, worth every penny considering I paid 62 dollars for them here w/ coupons (EPIC). On the slopes, they have never fogged up. I have only lost visibility once, when they were spraying artificial snow and it caked ice on them, but that was a really rare experience. Other than that, the mountain is crystal clear w/ no snowblindness or the like. The only gripe I have is that if you're going to wear them without a helmet, the darn elastic band loosens a bit too easy and after a couple of runs its less than snug. Still, this didn't bother me enough to hurt the ski experience... its just a little unsettling to have your goggles that close to falling off your face. They are very comfortable on large faces and big noggins. Regardless, I would buy these all over again for performance and I have to admit... they're just downright sexy too.

medium face. work well with my helmet. parsimman lenses for cloudy days and the grey for sunny days.

Got these a couple of weeks ago and finally got to try them out on the slopes. They were great, I think Oakley has the best optics out there. I got the white goggles with the persimmon lens, and they worked great with the cloudy conditions that day. I recommend that you buy this great product

These are Awsome they are durable u can see everthing and with all the different lens and styles u can find the pair that fits ur type of riding and its great.

Sick looking goggles! I prefer the Smith I/O because of they fit my face better, but these are good goggles too.

the new blue and orange goggles are super sick looking, the crowbars are always a super nice goggle choice and look super good on the slopes

Love Love Love these!!
I got the Shane McConkey Pro model and they are great. They fit smaller than my Wisdoms but still feel awesome. They go great with or without a helmet and look good in almost any color combo

these goggols are ACE!

If I'm wearing my helmet, these are the goggles I rock. One of my co-workers even commented on how gap-free they were with the helmet. If not wearing a helmet I'll rock A-frames or O-frames that are a little lower profile.

With endless combination of frame/strap/outrigger colors and more importantly around 20 different lenses (with varying light transmission, protection index, contrast capabilities), Crowbar offers something for majority of your snow sporting needs. Historically, I myself, having a less pronounced bridge of the nose had issues due to the gap between the bridge of nose and the corresponding part of the face foam. Crowbar can be procured in Asian fit and that provided a better fit for me. As for its performance, the face foam provides a comfortable fit with even distribution of pressure throughout the contact area, and the clarity of the lens is what you'd expect from a 100+ dollar goggle. The top of the frame is a bit rounder than that of many competing models and it did pose some helmet compatibility issues for me. I'd say the best solution for that is to use a helmet liner or something comparable (e.g. velcro strips). Despite the thickness of the foam/frame, the peripheral and downward vision is more than adequate, but don't expect to have as good a upward vision. As for its anti-fogging capability, it's no better than my 40 dollar Uvex goggle that I use for night skiing - if you wear it with a face mask, the steam from your nose/mouth will fog it up - which is expected...I'm just saying, don't expect that it'll be better in that regard.

Same as with my jacket - I left these goggles with my guide in Kashmir...

I love them in low light conditions.. Fit my big noggin pretty well...
As soon as I was back in civilization... I bought another pair,,,

These goggles have a great fit to them, especially when you wear them with a helmet. As always the Oakley lens is amazing. I have the Black Iridium and the H.I. Yellow. The black iridium is perfect for those bluebird days, and if the clouds come and bless you with snow they still work beautifully. The H.I. Yellow work great for night riding, or if you know ahead of time that the snow will fly, then these will keep you riding all day. These goggles are definitely the perfect choice for your goggle needs.

I have the crowbars in H.I. yellow and black iridium. Did the switch from cebe's after a day with terribly flat light, and the H.I. yellow are awesome in those conditions. I have never seen so much in flat light before and I have much more confidence in skiing fast when i can see where I'm going (for some strange reason).
It will be really hard to convince me to go away from oakleys and to try another brand now.

Epic peripheral vision. Super comfortable. Fit great with almost all helmets. The only goggle i own anymore.

Just transfered to these from the Electric EG2's. I have a medium to large face and wear the Pro-tec B2. The frame fits my face perfect and like i saw in another rating, someone said "I forget they're on". I felt this way as well. Didnt really feel them on my face which was very nice, and comfortable. The peripheral vision is all you need. Like the EG2's you can see everything but unlike the EG2's, the frame is small enough they'll fit helmets with no problem. The only problem I had was on my last run coming down the moguls with my girlfriend, they started to fog up a bit which is nothing I have heard of from these, so maybe one in a million. The only thing that MAY be a problem is if you have a helmet larger than the B2, the strap got a little tight on my B2. Helmets larger than the B2 may have a "tight fit". If there was a 4 1/2, that's what I would give them.

These goggles are extremely good. Great field of vision and they never fog up. Also they are really stylish. I got them custom off of the Oakley website and they match perfectly with all my gear.

i haven't used these that much because i bought them at the end of the snow season, but i'm impressed with them so far. i have a pink iridium lense... pros: very comfortable, they look great, the lense works well whether its sunny or snowing, no problems with the lense fogging up at all... cons: on a really bright sunny day, you still have to squint a little to keep from being blinded, this is only if you are looking almost directly into the sun, the strap didn't fit very well around my helmit because it was kinda short, so i just wear the goggle strap around my head... overall these goggles are really great, and definately worth the price

I recently purchased these goggles for a long ski trip to Colorado. I absolutely love them. They work miracles for the slopes. I had no problems with fogging...which was a nice change! :) I also liked how they wrap around my face....I had no problem with cold air getting between my goggles and my helmet. I would definitely recommend these goggles to others.

Another quality Oakley product. Have the Black Iridium lens for "normal conditions" and have the Persimmon lens for really overcast conditions. Swapping out lenses can be a chore but can be done. I have a medium size face and it fits perfectly. Those with larger faces should try em on before making the purchase.

I've been skiing/snowboarding for a good 12+ years of my life and I can honestly say these are the best goggles I've ever owned.

Great quality and construction. They're made to last and are comfortable to boot. They fit great with a helmet and are made for a larger face. If you're looking for a smaller face model go for the A Frame, these are pretty big. The Pink Iridium lens is probably the best all around for this goggle, then I would say the Persimmon. Fit great, and are easy to adjust.

Definitely buy these for your next goggle purchase.

I have two pairs of these and love them. I have a medium sized head with a hat size of 7 1/2 and size medium helmet and these fit awesome. Large field of vision and good style. Definitely stoked on these.

These goggles are very comfortable and provide a good view. They are lightweight, stylish, and breath well. No fogging up for these goggles.

hands down the best goggles on the market, the peripheral is just amazing and it fits almost every helmet. I use mine with the smith variant, works like a charm. Best style, best vision, and immaculate fit, what else could you ask for?

My wife got me these for my birthday, gotta say they are the best. Never fog, clear lens, and protection is great. Def recommend these!

These have worked well over the past month or so. I have not had fogging issues and they are compatible with my Smith helmet. The vision field is sufficient, no complaints here.

these goggles are great! just wore my pair for the first time (first time oakley goggle owner) and i must say they did not disappoint. the day went from snowing, to fog, to overcast and finally blue skies with sunshine. i used the vr28 lens (also bought a second pair with clear lenses, they were great too) and they worked great throughout the day. super comfortable and they keep your face nice and warm. never fogged up too!! the only thing that fogged were my glasses... great goggle, highly recommended

these goggles are awesome. i have the fire iridium lenses and they are way rad. i will never use anything else. they are super comfortable on my face, have a good field of vision, and also never fog. they also go really well with helmets. i recommend them

I HAVE 5 PAIRS OF THESE AND I WILL NEVER STOP BUYING THEM GET THEM NOW!!!!!

Kicks butt! Fit's with Helmets Awesome! Near flush with my RED Mutiny. All the lens options make it so you can't go wrong

I have a bigger face so these work great for me. I have a pire of high and low light lenses that I pout in them depending on the day. I love these goggles.

These goggles are by far, the best goggle i have used... They are super comfortable, and lightweight. You can smash your face a million times, but the lenses just don't break. i have only had one fog up, but it was my fault, which is a pretty good track record if you ask me. BUY THESE GOGGLES... you will not regret it

These are my secondary goggles but they don't disappoint. Usually wear them when snowmobiling and/or when it isn't too sunny. Great ventilation also.

Las year I got oakley crowbar Eq enamel with blue iridium a it was the best choice I made cause I love them a lot the hdo is crazy good I love them cause I like the color to I need help with a lens choice I want a lens for my Oakley crowbar goggles I want t fire iridium or dark gray witch is better fire iridium or dark gray.

I've only skiied two days with the goggle but so far, so good. They are comfortable to wear with the strap under the helmet, or over the helmet and the visibility has been great with the persimmon lens. First day I skiied with them at Breck it was overcast and flurrying and the goggle picked up the definition of the snow without any problems. Second day was bright and sunny and I didn't have any problems with glare or with feeling like the lens was letting too much light in.

Style wise, at least for my face, the frame of the goggle sticks out quite a bit and looks a little bulky, but that is a very minor complaint.

Overall, have really enjoyed the goggle so far.

[sidenote: I typed "google" before typing "goggle" every single time I went to write "goggle" in this review...it has taken over my mind]

The Oakley Crowbars are very nice, quality goggles. They are sturdy and the lens is also nice.
However, for those with larger faces, you may want to consider a larger goggle/one with a thinner frame. I bought theese as a replacement for my 2 or 3 year old cheapo goggles, and, amazingly, the peripheral in them was not as good. It was still decent, but I'm not paying $70+ for a downgrade in what I can see. The biggest problem is that the frame, at least for me, is obnoxiously large. It's like trying to see through a lens surrounded by a Crown Victoria bumper.
The problem was especially pronounced when I was racing. In a tuck, I could not see up to see where I was going without painfully craning my neck because the frame was in the way.

All in all, a very high quality piece of optics, but better for those with a small/medium sized face than those with a medium/large face.
