wearing glasses in paintball.

[johnmassive]

to all players that wear glasses.

what goggles offer more flexibilty and comfort for my fellow blurry visioned brothers?

first of all no clever sods. i dont do contact lenses!

thinking about it is it legal to wear glasses under goggles in torney rules?

ive been balling for years and about a month ago started wearing glasses....i was a bit worried that they would fog but a trip to a motorbike shop will sort you out....get yourself a bottle of anti-fog, the stuff they treat the inside of helmet visors with...works a treat....i had mine on under my gogs all day reffing at the pa last week and no probs at all.

there is no reason why you cant wear your glasses while you play.....fine in all rules i know

wouldnt bother with goggle fans....very noisy

cheers..what goggs did you have on, did you notice any damage to the frame of your specs. i currently have proteus 2 and cos ive got a big head the frame keeps digging into my huge cartman style head, and has a slight bend in it.

suppose a trip to test them all out at planet is in order then.

but i was just mostly curios about the legality in tourney play. thx for answer.

Generally all V-Force goggles are good for wearing glasses under. Not sure about the profilers in that but the shield/morph etc are really good if you wear glasses(or so ive heard).

a friend i used to ball with had glasses and a pair of profiler gogs, and he sed that they felt a treat with glasses!

 

[jahlad]

yup im using profilers.....not tried any other with my glasses on but when i tried some dye gogs a while ago they hurt around the ears

have a trip down to planet and try em all on

First, everyone is right. A bit of anti-fog spray will do the trick. However, I may suggest sport goggles (lenses that are made to your perscription) and grip your face.

spend extra cash on new glasses only for paintball. Just another option though. Oh yeah, my pair of Flex-7's worked fine for me with my glasses. Fans do suck, noisy, and break easily. Last time I checked, its okay to wear the glasses under your goggles. Hope this wasnt too repetetive, and helped a bit. Oh yes, save up for the lasik, thats what Im doing Otherwise, stick to your glasses. Just slap some anti-fog on them, and they should serve you just fine. For Some Reason, The picture will not come up, and Im sure I did it right. The mods must have put a lock so you cant use pictures in this thread. Haha. Hope that helps.
