Paintball Glasses

[Miscue]

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way that I could get wrap-around type, prescription glasses... with anti-fog lenses. This way I can plop my mask on w/o having to mess around with anti-fog sprays... which I hate. I can't see for crap on a PB field w/o my glasses.

Secondarily, I'd love to have wrap-arounds that can be protective off the field. I dunno about any of you, but I get nervous on the recball field sidelines with the way people handle their guns. Heck, sometimes even walking into a PB store... Sometimes I just leave my mask on when I don't feel safe... and with good reason because stray balls zipping past my head in "safe" areas are all too frequent.

Myself I just use Contacts... Solves everything. :)
I know, lot of help I am...

I'd be very interested in hearing about this as well. My V-Force never foggs but my glasses always do. I just don't wear them when playing but it does negativly effect my game.

[Miscue]

Well, I never wear glasses because I don't need to, except when I play PB. Contact lenses to me... are undesireable although I keep them under consideration.

Using an insert for the lens helps. It gets the lens away from your face and they fog less. You still have to use anti-fog spray. I added dual fans and all that combined works well.

Wrap arounds are unlikely because of the way prescription lens work. However, if anyone finds any I'd be interested also.

Miscue, balls flying around in the "safe" area. I think you are playing at the wrong field(s). Sounds dangerous!

Go to an eyeglass store and get some cat crap for your glasses.

I've used it one before and it helps.

It's the stuff you use on ski masks and the like.

i believe oakley makes prescription lenses for most of their glasses, and they make many frames that would work well with a paintball mask.

What I did, my brother wears glasses, we went to the eye doctor, he said he could make the lens a prescription lens, so glasses were not needed.

My son wears coke bottle lenses and simply is too young to deal with contacts and had an extremely hard time with glasses fitting comfortably under his JT Spectra. We tried several different brands and he had the least problems with the JT's.

The fix we used was mount an RX insert into the JT Spectras. We sent his prescription into NYX Golf and got the basic plastic inserts and glued them into his spectras, works very well for him. Set us back a whopping $120.

Here's another link to check out, they make RX lenses for all sorts of different sporting gear:

Two Ways:

1. Oakley does do their glasses with prescription lenses--and their glasses are pretty much shatter-proof. Don't know how much they'll set you back, but it'll be worth it.

2. JT sells a prescription insert that fits the Spectra masks (well, at least they used to).

I use the Bolle inserts into my JT Spectra's... the inserts cost me 10$ and the lenses I cheaped out and went to Wal-Mart with my perscription and got a set of polycarbonate lenses for the inserts... the lenses were 30$....

they seem to work very well for me... as long as you can keep the lenses of the scripts up against your JT lenses your OK... as soon as they get near your face forget it... fog city..

oh yeah and a work to the wise.... polycarbonate(shatter resistant kids lenses) give you a really weird fisheye view and take a bit of getting used to.

(as soon as I can find a link to the inserts I'll post it.)

I use to use those also, until my prescription changed. Never updated the lens. However, for $30 I might. Now, if I can only find the insert...

I believe that you can get perscription gogles for playing racketball. WOuld those work for inside your mask?

I wear glasses while playing, and to avoid fog up on my glasses, I use a good JT Vortex fan for my Proteus II. Mounts right no the top of the goggles, under the visor and can take 300 FPS shots directly. Works like a dream...
