FYI Bow Ridge in Cochrane has a selection of Inferno's with the Prism Rose lens. I was in there today and they mentioned it in case I wanted a second pair for my better half.

Thanks for the intel. I'll be heading there on the weekend to pick some up.

All good goggles are like that.

Never wipe the inside of the lens when wet/fogged/frozen, it wipes off the anti-fog coating

So many complain about fog problems after they screwed up the coating themselves wiping them all the time

This is true, it is best practice to 'dab' the water off if you would like to get rid of it.

However, after having sweat drip on the inside of the lens and dry, its going to need a wipe. I have done this several times and my goggles still work fine without permanent smudging. It's just something you want to only do when needed.

Post a picture of your goggles, specifically showing the lens change lever. The standard airbrakes look different, i have them and the XL's.

Here is a picture of the change lever on the Air Brakes that I have.

I have the Rose Prizm in the Airbrakes combined with a Airoh Aviator hemet. IMO.... I like the performance of the Prizm but its not earth shattering. What I do find is that the Combo has great anti fog performance. Riding the Whistler area, fogging has always been a tough one to overcome. Its the best setup I have ever owned. In saying that going to Comor over the weekend with my Helmet to see how the Line Miners fit. There asking $279.00 for the 18s 2017s are 50% off but there sold out of Rose

I just ordered a pair of the rose line miner infernos off amazon for $200 all in. Looking forward to trying them out as I constantly have fogging issues with all my old goggles.

Are you sure you didn't order just the lens? Pretty good price.

Hey man, I have a bag of them. Aviator's and Sinister's with new spare lens'. Some are scratched and they have the straps cut for Quick Straps. If you can get them to Edmonton/St.Albert, they are yours for the taking.

was the full setup but turned out I was on the American site, worked out to $267 with the conversion. Still cheaper than the Oakley store.

Mine were $330 (w/tax) at sporting life in CGY. But it was the only place that had the high pink with black frames, including on-line. I’d say you got a decent price, especially if that includes shipping and duties/taxes.

Ordered a second pair of infernos a few days ago from sportinglife.ca, prizm hi pink with matte black frames for $295 shipped to my door, if you create a free acct on their site you get 10% off and free shipping

Just bought some Line Miner Inferno Prizim in Fernie at the Ski Base for $275 plus tax. Get to try them in Revy this weekend...yahoo!

takethebounce · Dec 5, 2017

The Oakley outlet store I was just in has them for $250 US and %30 off. Works out to around $220 Cdn. Not sure I want to bite on them yet. Maybe see how they work.
