    Anybody know where I can get a replacement lens for my ripcurl goggles? had a bit of a run in with a snow cannon this year so the lens is finally ready for the bin! the shop I bought the goggles in has closed sadly!

    Replacement goggle lenses are tricky to come by unless you are in a resort. Most of the time it is easier to buy new goggles than new lenses unless you stumble across a shop that stocks them.

    Rip Curl are not a common brand for goggles which will make this harder.

    Last week my goggles (Von Zipper Feenoms) got moisture in between the lenses in Whistler and I had to go to several shops before I found one that even stocked VZ (luckily there was a Billabong shop there that had them - they own VZ btw)

    buying replacement lenses online is generally pricey and will be 2/3rds to 1/2 the price of a new pair of goggles as not many online shops stock them. Companies want you to buy new goggles instead of replacement lenses

    Just google for them and see what you can find

    This is true - I had a pair of Oakley Splice that got scratched, I went into a ski shop to replace the lens and they were more expensive than a cheaper brand they showed me, so I bought the cheaper ones (can't remember the brand, sorry) and they're far more comfortable, and have a better field of vision, than the Oakleys.
