i wear glasses and no longer wear contacts, what is a good mask that will fit the glasses?

The V-force Morph and Profiler both do in my experience. The morph has a harder nose piece that will keep the mask from bending in under solid hits.

+1 on V-Force Profiler.

Anything with the JT spectra lense has been my choice. I usually wear contacts when I play, but the Spectras/Flex-7s with the Vortex fan are what I've always worn if I've worn my glasses.

Any JT mask works. I wore glasses with my Nvader for a long time.

I like my V-force shield very comfortable with glasses on.

ive actually found that the Proto axis goggles dont work too bad with glasses. theyre pretty big, and have space cut in the foam where your glasses go on the side of your head.

I Love my PROfiler

Also, i tried a JT Proteus recently, and it was nice.

They use the 'Spectra' lenses, so anyhting with those should be good.


Still reccomend profiler tho :)

I've heard that the Profiler is good. And I think the new Empire/Vents goggles were designed for that as well (good luck getting one this month, though)

Brass Eagle used to make a mask that was superb for glasses, but I don't know the name or if they even still make it.

My daughter wears a JT flex with her glasses and has very little problem.

I use the Raven over my glasses. They are lower cost than the JT's and they have been great for me.

the only improvement i would make on the Profiler would be a replaceable foam system

last fall at Blanding in florida, they were soaked in 20 minutes and damp all weekend

My Invision fits with glasses on. It's not the most comfortable, but it's nothing bad.

I wouldn't recomend invisions with glasses. Way to tight.

I'd actually advise talking to your Optometrist and ask about getting lenses that you can actually mount inside the goggles themselves. They do make them, they are a little pricey though, but they're certianly nice to have since you don't need to worry about accomodating the frames through the goggle.

EDIT: Goggels based on the Spectra 260 (JT), Morph (V-Force), and I'd imagine Vents lenses should be plenty comfy for glasses.

I have always udes a JT Spectra-based mask with removable foam inserts and been satisfied.

You may also want to make sure that your choice of mask allows you to add a fan if you find you need one. Glasses seem to fog up faster than the mask lens. Even using an optomistrist's non-fog wax on my glasses, the fan adds some more protection against fogging.
