[bobo]

hi

i am new to this game and am in the process of buying all my gear but have a dilema!!!

can any one advise me please.

with weraing glasses i need to get the best goggs to minimise fogging best as possible as i don't want to buy and then regret it and still have the same problem???

The v-force would be your best shot. They never seem to fog, even in the worst conditions; and they are very roomy inside so they should be able to accomodate your glasses with no issue.

i wear glasses and use jt spectra with x-wind have had no props at all ,well worth try differant ones if you can

i use proteus+fan,but rarely need to switch the fan on,most thermal lenses should help

i wear glasses an use jt flex-7 ize there really comfortable compared to most others. vortex fan forget bout it thermal lenses are just great and dont steam up. but you also need some anti-fog solution for your glasses as they steam up more.

You have to remember that you have two sets of lenses to consider. Even if you get a thermal lens goggle system, your glasses might still fog up because of the warm air that doesn't leave the goggles. So, you'll probably have to get some de-fogging spray or something like that for your glasses.

I suggest JT Flex 7 with Vortex Fan if you wear glasses.

Thermal lense will not fog up and the Vortex should help your glasses to stay clear.

as you suffer from the british weather like the best of us, i recomend something with a fan in it.
If it rains then stays warm (humid) you goggles might just cope, but your glasses will have a lovely frosted, brick wall kinda effect.

it may cost you more to start off with, but its worth it.

I do the V-force and glasses thang - as far as fitting goes, the V-force go well over glasses and visibility is excellent. The V-force also don't fog and the lenses are simplicity to remove for cleaning/switching.

Glasses however, steam up very nicely. They also act as nice little condensers and you'll also get streaks of sweat running down them so you'll need an anti-fog coating for both sides. Or wear contacts.

I've heard to that you can rig up a cheap home-made extractor fan out of a CPU fan, battery and switch for about £15 . . .
