Goggles for Glasses?

[Kick]

Hey guys,

    I've been taking a look at some goggles, and I'm not exactly sure which are good for my situation. I'd really like some full seal black-tinted goggles, that fit comfortably around glasses, as I wear them. Could anybody help me with this?



Thanks,
    Kick

It depends on how big your glasses frames are. I've had success with arena flakjaks but I don't think they sell the Gen 1 versions anymore. You may have luck with the new versions. Also revision has goggles and they sell Rx inserts for the insides of the goggles.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Bishop, I'll take a look into those!

I have tried everything. If you can wear contacts that is what I suggest. Other wise get a pair of ESS turbo fans with the RX insert. Contacts will be cheaper. If you go the ESS route you will have to get the lens stencil for the cut out for your lens from the ESS optometrist to actually get the lenses cut for the RX Insert. Total cost for that is $350 for the googles the RX insert and stencil.

As much as I'd love to get contacts, I've got an astigmatism in both of my eyes, so wearing them actually make my eyesight blurry. Might as well spend the most money on eye protection, only have one set of eyes!

The ESS Striker land ops goggles are designed for fit over prescription glasses. Check out militarywarfighter.com,they are out of Grand Rapids

Thanks, I'll check them out!

I wear small framed glasses, gen1 and gen2 flakjacks work fine in combination with OpsDrops on both.

I bought a set of inserts for my turbofans and got ahold of the company that provides the Rx services for ESS. They cut my lenses and installed them for me for like $80 if I remember right. Of course the TFs were like $120 and the inserts were about $25, so total was about $225.

The big advantage to me though is that I can use the same inserts in a pair of ESS Crossbows, which I use as sunglasses. Kinda hard to find nice prescription wraparound sunglasses, and they're great on the motorcycle.

I'll be getting a job soon, and as well as plan to get into airsoft. Thanks for the head start guys!

Actually you got a deal. I did this about 4 years ago and it was much more expensive.

ESS Land Ops fit well over most glasses (they're actually designed for over-glasses wearing). I bought them after having issues with another pair that sat too close to my face. The turbofans though are likely your best bet so you don't have to deal with fogging as much (if at all). I believe inserts are available for both though, and I plan to go that route soon.

A guy from Canada on Instagram has a pair to go over his glasses just fine. I asked him and he said JT Airsoft goggles. Not sure exactly where to find them, but I assume they're probably cheaper than the ESS, although those will be of better quality.

I asked a similar question on a different forum and all the feedback I got is in the link.
