Over The Glasses Goggles...?

Mon, 25 Oct 2010 20:25:42 GMT

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend some OTG goggles for the upcoming ski season?? im looking more at the mid to high price range, my main concern is getting a pair that fogs up really easily! However if this cant be avoided, any advice on what treatments to use would be great!

Cant wait to hit the slopes!!!

:P

I've used Oakley L Frames for years. To stop my glasses fogging, I use Fog Buster on the lenses and aim to keep inside of the goggles dry.

Get some prescription goggles - much better in the long run. ) )

Do you have some? I'd be interested in how a high index lens could be properly inserted into a snowsports lens frame, without being unduly thick and heavy.

I'd have to go with MacGregor to be honest.
Script goggles with script sunglasses (or reactolites) in pocket for the apres activities...

Or do what I did (finally) and get contact lenses (never let a laser near my face please...

The issue that I see with a goggles lens, is that it's further from the focus point than a pair of spectacles would be. A corrective lens would need to be of a higher power to compensate. For a concave lens the size/weight of the lens at the edges would look awful and be heavy in use.

What happens when you go indoors? You'll be needing a pair of glasses to put on.

Not everyone can use contact lenses.

My dad has the adidas goggles (forget which style sorry) but they have separate (and replaceable) script lenses near the eyes and the 'normal' goggle lens at the front.

I realise not everyone can wear contacts, but if you can and you take part in sports I would highly recommend them over the other options.

Contacts are much better than they used to be. It changed my enjoyment of skiing to be able to wear normal sunnies

I keep on trying new contacts as they develop different compounds. One day technology will catch up with my needs. Ex f/t happy lens wearer of 6 years standing.
