glasses under your goggles

[poconoceancity]

Jeff,

 

I looked at your picture and noticed you wear glasses under your goggles...is that irritating. Every time I tryed it or even wore contacts while boarding it bothers my eyes

nope, no problem, and those were my goggles made for glasses. i recently switched to A-frames, just normal a-frames, and the inside space is smaller, it still accomodates my glasses. No problems.

What brand goggle/helmet do you wear?

[Zonked]

my contacts pretty much never bother my eyes..there are a select few times where my eyes start to tear so bad that im afraid to take my goggles off because i dont want people to think I just cried ha

[AtomicSkier]

leedom scream cut, and oakley a-frames...

 

btw, moving to the "Gear" section

[skigurl]

i've worn both under my goggles, and i've got kid, not youth, kid goggles, and it's fine, but glasses under goggles with helmet was kinda uncomfortable

Before I got contacts the only problem I had with my glasses was that they fogged up a lot. Btw Jeff, I have the same goggles as you, and I love them.

my helmet/goggles match my skis perfectly

 

yea, i do love the goggles, though they're a little bit too dark for night skiing

[Schif]

I got a different lens put in them when I got them. It looks kinda like yours but is a little more transparent. It cuts down on glare during the day, and works just as well at night.

Jeff, I hope your PASR sticker is on the back of that helmet.

Ok just checking.

well i have contacts not saying i ever wear them but a few times i have gone snowboarding with them and it caused no problems.

I had a fire lens, but got a High Intensity blue because the fire lense is just wayyyyy to dark. I wear contacts under my goggles, and I've never had a problem. I hated wearing glasses under my goggles.

i have oakley glasses, and they told me you can get prescription lenses for goggles. like rec specs and other goggles like a frames.

they are freakin dark as hell, especially at night. I'm gunna get a pair of wisdoms for the night.

[LineSki]

i got the wisdoms with a real light lenses they are great. the lense has like three levels. dark at the the top to get the light then it gets lighter, and even more lighter. best goggles i ever bought and i used to have a frames.

[insomniac]

I have wisdoms as well.

Go for the Lasik. No problems with your glasses fogging up and you can look up into the snow and rain.

[skimom]

Nestors sells goggles that can go over glasses. I have them, but once had a fall where the goggles with glasses smashed into my face and the glasses broke, leaving me with a big guage immediately adjacent to my eye. Now fearful of enucleating my eyes, I usually just ski blind.

 

They also make goggles that contain prescription lenses. I've thought of that. Who knows, maybe I'll go for lasik.

I've seen both kids and adults wearing their glasses under their goggles. They said it doesn't bother them at all.

 

Skimom, that's my biggest fear with wearing glasses under my goggles.

 

Unfortunately, lasik is no good for me as my vision is so bad the surgery would not get me to 20/20 and I'd still need glasses/contacts. So why bother.

well i used to were glasses be for i started to snowboard and i hated every minute of them always fall. i don't see how any one could go over jumps or over really any terrain with out their glasses hitting their goggles

[Zonked]

my dad had that lasik surgery done..but the only thing is that he needs readin glass's to read the newspaper. But otherwise he is very happy he got the surgery done

[zaldon]

i know a guy that got lasik surgery done and his eyes hurt around loud noises.
