Default Goggles

Looking for Ski goggles w/ interchangeable lenses.
Carrera has a new system that allows for just 2 lenses, easy
change-ability. However no clear lenses available for them,which I
prefer for B-eastern early season/late day.
I 've considered Smith's & Oakleys (Wisdom). Heard the Oak's are hard
to change out. Looks like good product,lots of lenses choices.
Info & experiences appreciated !
TIA !

Both Carrera and Oakley have a great, very light
yellow tint lens that works for me all winter here
in the northeast. Sunny is just a joy so unless
it's also warm I wear these. If it's warm and
sunny I wear glacier glasses. see Tahoe skiing
I don't even bring goggles when I go west.

You never ski on cloudy flat-light days? Must be nice.

Of course I do. The goggles I mentioned are better
than clear lens goggles for that condition.

Pain in the ass. And expensive. Get two or three cheap goggles in
different colors, throw them in your car gear bag, and save money and
lens exchange time.

Goggles scratch up and foam deteriorates before you get your money's
worth out of expensive goggles IMO.
