Hey, looking at buying a pair of Oakley goggles but not sure whch ones to go for.

Had a look at the Crowbars and the O frames but not really sure.

I have a set of Oakley Proven 2010 goggles.. Like the ones below, but I use a blue lens

They fit really well with my 661 lid and they resist steaming up a lot better than my Endura riding specs..

I have both the MX Crowbars and MX O frames.

I like them both, but the Crowbars have a very obvious difference in frame size, they are a much larger goggle compared to the O frames and therefore, may be silghtly more comfortable depending on what you are looking for. They also have the outriggers which the straps are attached to which relieves some of the forces that would otherwise be transmitted you yourself! They are most definately a more comfortable fit with larger viewing area, but having said that i mostly use my O frames because they are a bit more snug and they seem to work for me, despite not being quite as wide!

Have a look out for the Provens as mentioned by jimbo but also the new Mayhems!

I have this Crowbar http://www.cyclestore.co.uk/productDetails.asp?productID=22787&categoryID=798
good fit, good padding, and outrigger system makes them real comfey, and not to much of a faff to change the lens when you get the hang of it.
Looks pretty cool with my 661 legend in black and gold too. Cool

Fox The Main.  Made by Oakley and have all the usual range of Oakley lenses to fit them.  I have a pair and they've lasted me well, are pretty good at resisting fogging up and don't cost a whole lot either.  Mine fit in my tld lid too which was my main concern when getting them as not all goggles do.

Don't get any oakley goggles.

My electric EG1 MX's are honestly the best goggles i've ever used.
