I guess they could come under that tag. Like I stated earlier, I have had a pair of Revo glasses for many years.

When I purchased them, I did not know who revo were, but subsequently discovered they are a "top" brand. It just happened, I needed some glasses and they were all I could find that fitted and that I liked. They were expensive, but I really needed them at the time, so I got them.

TBH, after reading up on the glasses posted by Trencher, I am going to order a pair of those RayZors and if they are any good, will get a few more to be left in places I am likely to need them, plus take a pair of spares when I go skiing.

Back to your point, I am as guilty as most of wanting to buy "decent" stuff, and often that means we believe a named brand will be what is required without checking to see if you can get a better product for much less without a name on it. I think that is one of the things you start to realise as you get older, and is called experience or wisdom.

they burn your eyes thou :thumbdown:

Nope proper UV protection and this years came with cat 1, 3 and 4 lenses.

So, now we are all straight......

What do you prefer? Sunglasses or goggles on a nice day? I know conditions are a lot to do with preference but for me a decent pair of goggles with my lid is better. As good as my oakleys are, I get watery eyes with speed. Goggles also give a warmer face :)

If they fit you, buy them. Do they look good. Di they make you look like an expert skiier? Or is that just me that wants that to happen?

Tend to have both on me whenever I'm skiing, but goggles only get used when conditions are v snowy or cold or I want to use the Contour HD.
