Goggles for people with glasses

[KitsuneAndy]

What choices do us four eyed lot have when it comes to goggles?

I like the look of the Dye Invisions but they also look like they might be too close fitting for comfort if you have glasses on.

I'm currently using VForce Morphs due to them having a more curved lens and more distance between your face and the lens

just got myself a pair of profilers, great fit, loadsa rooms for me specs. haven't tried the morphs, but guessing they'll be similar in fit?

Yeah, I think all of the VForce goggles are a similar style

the morphs use the same lense as the profilers so im guessing therell be the same amount of room inside both.

dunno about the rest of you , but having glasses sucks for paintball.

anyway, i;ve got the JT Proteus [2] Spectra [2]. can never remeber where the 2 goes............but you get the idea.

Anyway, they are great fitting for glasses, always perfectly comfortable.
Saying this, luckily my only problem is detail, so without glases i can see a person easily, an as no matter what your gogs are made of/covered in/blessed by, my glasses still steam up. as such i dont wear them while playing!
Best bet if you can get away with it

wel i dont wear glasses but people have asked this before and the general response was to get contacts, lazer eye surgery or strugle.

 

[KitsuneAndy]

Contacts are an option, if they make them for my prescription now. I have an A-Stygmatism and had a contact test a couple of years ago and the ones I needed (they had to be weighted) were going to cost over £200.

I'm the same as Rage, I can see without my glasses, but cant see a huge amount of detail. Saying that, the glasses I've got are quite small.

I'm not getting eye surgery just to be able to wear funky masks

i wear profilers for marshling rec ball but our sponsor provides us with jt flex's which i can't wear my glasses under, they are just too uncomfortable. however i now just shoot at coloured blobs in the distance

How often is the coloured blob a marshal? hehe

i found profilers to be the most comfortable over my specs, tho i wore jts a the welsh open and they were fine too

as for stopping your glasses steaming up, dont mess about with those stupid fans they just make a din! find a motorbike shop and ask them for a can of anti mist spray for visors....they use it to treat the inside of helmet visors and it works great, you just spray it onto a tissue then rub it into your glasses lenses, it does tend to leave streaks if you arnt careful but once its on it will stay there a couple of days, ive even held mine over the kettle and they didnt steam up!
