Question

Should i buy just a new lens for my spy goggles or should i buy a whole other pare of goggles?

Answer 1

I was going to do the same thing for my spy goggles, but they were out of stock.  to be able to get lenses, you would probably need order them at the beginning of next season. What i decided to do was to get new goggles.  The smith cascade graphic series goggles seem to be a nice pair. the lenses that come on them look perfect for all conditions. they usually run at $60 but around now, all of the shops are having sales. i would go with buying new goggles.

It depends what color lens you want.  If you want a clear or night lens, then it is ok to buy a lens for the goggle, since it is hard to find goggles with a night or clear lens.  It is probably better to buy a new goggles, considering th price of the goggle compared to the price of the lens. If you have a scratched up lens that is still usable, the goggle might come in handy for an emergency, but if you want a nicer goggle it would be better to buy a new goggle. The spy blizzards kind of itch my face sometimes.  When i get tired of goggles i get new ones. i think $20 is too much for a lens for a $50 goggle.  If you can find a lens for $10 then you should get the lens, but I think any more than that wouldn't be worth it. Try to find a nice goggle on sale.

Answer 3

Depends on what kind of goggles you own, but from your other question, I'm assuming you have Spy Blizzards.  

Spy Blizzards are pretty cheap goggles, and a clear or orange coloured replacement lens will cost you 20 dollars, if you want one that is mirrored that'd probably cost you 40 bucks. And you could probably purchase a new pair of spy blizzard goggles for that price.   (see actionsportsoutlet.com)

Don't buy a lens, just invest in a new pair of goggles.  And seeing as the season is coming to a close, tons of stores are putting on massive sales.
