I'm going to be in the market for a new pair of goggles..but i have a problem. I was just asked by my optometrist to switch the wearing glasses on a regular basis instead of contacts because i'm getting bouts of a severe eye irratation and i wondered if people with glasses have had any experiences with any of the new goggle systems out there...

yeha, definatly proteus is the way to go, alot roomyer on the inside than you may imagine, plus the rest of the mask fits closely, small, looks cool, comfy, it's a great mask.

my vforce morph is great. part of their pitch is that it fits conviently over glasses. the vforce shield is a good mask too

Vforce, morph or shield you can't go wrong. Plenty of room for glasses, the lens won't fog, and it's optically correct!

Raven Nuvis - has the clip in the strap and isn't restricting with glasses.

just about every mask i've tried have been fine for glasses, a few brass eagles, a jt or 2, and some pmi's (not sure on specific names :P)

ok one thing most of you guys probably forgot about is that the glasses will fog up themselves. best bet would be get the proteus with the fan. or use any pair of goggles and put jt fog resistant on your glasses thats what i did with my glasses and my proteus.

Yup, that's the big problem. The glasses fog up first. I use the JT nofog on the glasses AND have dual "computer style" fans in the goggles( mounted on the underside of the visor).

The spectra's wear actually designed for use with glasses... so probably those...

I used the nVader with glasses it works well with them but my glasses kept fogging up. That could just be the glasses.

ok guys its called jt majik spray. it cost about 5 bucks a bottle and will prevent your glasses from fogging up when this is applied to both sides of the lense. if its really hot that combined with a fan and your set.

My Spectra's great with my glasses. Hoping to get contacts, though.

V-Force morph, are definately my choice. I've never had a problem with my glasses fogging up while I'm wearing my mask, and it's not like I have a fan either. My best suggestion to you is to try a few different masks on and see what's the most comfortable for you.
