Can i get some suggestions on Goggles please? I used Zeal Dominator SPX Polarized Goggles,they seem to fit ok, maybe ever so slightly small, i have difficult time breathing thru my nose with these.

For climbing? Skiing?

For climbing, the best I've found are Uvex Pocket Goggles.

Light, compact, effective.

For skiing, there are a zillion goggles to choose from. Just try them on and see what's comfortable.

For climbing or skiing, I use the Smith I/O. Interchangeable lenses are great and they're the most fog-resistant goggles I've ever owned. The Sensor-Mirror lenses for flat light are very good.

They're just small enough to work with my climbing helmet. Bummer? Pricey.

Are most goggles lenses replaceable? I've got a Smith PMT Airflow goggle with scratches... I've seen replacement lenses advertised, but it looks like you'd need to do some demolition to get the old one out

Depends. The lower end ones often are not replaceable, but go check over at http://www.smithoptics.com/products/#/Lens+and+Accessories/ or contact them directly to see what they say. I've heard Smith is really good about inquiries but have never had to contact them yet.

I've got a pair of Von Zippers that I use for just general snowsports, figuring if I need goggles on a climb it's windy as hell. Otherwise I use some Julbo Colorado's in the snow.

I wear smith goggles. They are great to wear all day boarding. Their sunglasses are awesome too and they have unbelievably awesome customer support.
