If you like your Cebe just buy a replacement lens. Much cheaper. Your local shop may not stock lens but if the googles are not long obsolete you will be able to order them. IME by the time I want to replace lenses the goggle's _always_ obsolete. I tend to continue using them even once they're scratched to buggery - not a cost thing, more that I just never get round to replacing them. My last pair (of Cébés) was finally replaced last season thinks probably 9 seasons after they were first bought :-! They'd lost all of their coating, which had started out luminous blue but had scratched so much and become so unstable that I rubbed it all off, down to a slightly grey lens. In that time they were probably actually used on something like 50-100 days, plus kicking around in my rucksack for maybe another 200, so it was hardly surprising. I replaced them with some more Cébés, not through any brand loyaly but just because the shop in Soldeu had them and they fitted nicely. So much more comfortable, and with a nice grey tint, that I tend to wear them much more frequently than the old ones. -- Ace (brucedotrogers a.t rochedotcom) Ski Club of Great Britain - http://www.skiclub.co.uk All opinions expressed are personal and in no way represent those of the Ski Club. |

Felly sgrifennodd Brien :
I got my goggles from last season out for packing and noticed a horrible red streak across them. They seemed ruined so I attempted to take the mark off, now they're really ready for the bin so I need new ones. Any tips on good goggles? I really liked my old Cebe ones, they just don't seem to have stored very well. I use Cebe. They're excellent and in Switzerland (where I bought them a few years ago) they still seem cheap at around GBP20. Just replace them with another pair.
