Oakley Elevate

I got these goggles to replace my old Anon Figments that were falling apart due to me changing the lenses so often. I have always been a fan of Oakley Crowbars (I've had a few pairs in the past), but decided to try something new, and the Elevates caught my eye. Got them, and they are basically like a hybrid of the A frames and the Crowbars. They're for a smaller face (borderline too small for my own face) than crowbars. They also would work great with a helmet because the ends of the straps attach to the frame with a piece that can move to compensate for the extra bulk of a helmet, or compress down to fit nicely without a helmet.If you have a larger face/head, I wouldn't recommend these goggles, but they're great for most girls or smaller guys!
EDIT: The picture shown is me wearing the goggles with a RED Mutiny II Helmet. No gaper gap!

Purchased these to replace my A-frames which were a little small for my head, left me with a gaper gap and felt like I had tunnel vision. I purchased the Elevate w/Hi Yellow lens based on prior reviews. Have used them 15 plus times this season and they are great: don't fog up, have a wide field of view and give the snow great definition. The Hi Yellow is great for night skiing which I do a lot of. Actually last night I skied down an unlit trail at dusk and could see better with these goggles on than with them off. The Hi Yellow is great for all conditions except on sunny days I do find myself squinting so I may purchase a replacement lens for those days.

These are great goggles, with a quality lens (I used the polarized Fire lens, specifically).
4 stars for fit and overall function.
I ended up returning these goggles, and going back to the Oakley A-Frame (also with a polarized lens).
Here's why:
The Elevate goggles have a smaller field of view, and did not fit my slightly wider face very well. The Elevate also had poorer venting, and fogged up while touring/skinning.
If you have a smaller face, and primarily use this goggle at ski resorts, I'm sure you will be VERY pleased, Oakley makes a quality goggle. It fits very nicely with a helmet.

Elevate is a brand new goggle Oakley introduced this year. I skied in this goggle all year instead of the Crow Bar. I liked the smaller size of the goggle compared to the Crow Bar because the Crow Bar is really big. I ski every day in a helmet and it fit great. It looks really good on a hat too, but I would not recommend skiing without a helmet.
Let me know if you have any questions about this product and I would be glad to respond.

I think these are very underrated goggles. I've had the last two versions of A-frames, but was never 100% happy with the fit or peripherals. The Elevates fit my face better and I prefer the squared off geometry. Also goes well with my giro revolver helmet. HI yellow for flat/low light and blue iridium for sunny days is the perfect combination and worked well during my whistler trip--HI yellow really saved my ass during a white out. Love these goggles.

This is the goggle I have been waiting for. Awesome looking goggle, and it's great for womens faces and smaller to medium mens faces. Fits SO comfortable, no pressure on the nose and conforms around my face so well. This goggle is my favorite by far, and trust me, I have a lot of goggles. Fits great with helmets too- unlike lots of smaller framed goggles out there. Nice work, Oakley!

def smaller than the crowbar and splice, and i would even call them a little smaller than the a-frame. Great fit for small faces. The HI yellow lens is great for low light. fits well with my Smith Maze helmet. Peripheral vision is not an issue for me.

these goggles are really nice and they are more of a normal less flashy goggle then most of oakley's designs. the fit is good for smaller sized faces which also unfortunately makes the field of vision in these worse then the crowbars of splices
