Mask / protection for glasses wearer

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a faceplate / mask that works well for people that wear glasses? I've been to a couple of paintball centres, but I always struggle because my glasses fog up, or get squashed under the mask.

I'm thinking about playing more regularly (if I can fit the costs in with my other expensive hobbies), but the mask issue is something I need to sort out first.

Thanks in advance,

VForce goggles are very good for people who wear glasses because of the shape of the lens.

But as said above, you'll need some sort of anti-fog spray for your glasses otherwise they will steam up.
My bro wears glasses with his vforce profilers and he like them, so maybe try them.

rental goggles are naff

first thingis to buy a pair of anti fog goggles, v-force are the best for people with glasses, profilers are a good option however the jt proflexs are rather comfortable. i still find my glasses steam up, but anti fog spray should help

also if you remember to try and breath out through your nose it helps alot.

Thanks

Thanks all - I'll have a look at those options.

Sadly contacts aren't an option, so I have this same problem with every sport I play. For some things I can have custom prescription goggles made, but that's getting expensive.

I'm no sure if prescription paintball lenses would be possible either, because the field of vision you get from a mask lense is so big that you'd only have good vision right in the centre of the goggle.

Profilers would do just fine...
