Paintball Glasses

[Skoad]

i wear glasses and have no problem with them fogging up. not sure if it's because i kinda direct my exhale downward instead of in the face piece of the mask...i noticed a big difference ni playing cold weather by doing that.
hopefully getting contacts again soon.

i'm sure prescription sporting glasses aren't too hard to find.

This may sound pretty duh because I've never actually used one but I've heard they've worked... Did you ever think about trying a JT Proteus with the Vortex fan thingee? I know it's supposed to keep air flowing through the mask, so it could possibly help with glasses fogging too? Just my .02...

you can get prescription lenses made for your goggles i believe...

Maybe Recspecs. Now I don't know how they'd be for paintball, but many kids use them in other sports, such as soccer and basketball. Only thing though is they are a little large, and may not work with the mask. They almost are like swimming goggles. I'll look and see if they have a website.

EDIT: See below for links to sites with Recspecs.

ok first of all to confirm for the umpteenth time. oakley does make a completely seperate prescription line of eyewear which is wrap around. another thing you can do is wrap your glasses around yourself by simply CAREFULLY bending the frame at the bridge and other places deemed necessary. i dont understand why more designers dont do this. it offers much better protection and looks better. on a side yet related note another nifty thing is making the ear pieces straight as opposed to wrapping around your ear like typical frames. and if you had any doubts no none of these modifications distort your viewing noticably. the same goes to the case of the v-force. it is not a spectacular difference. it doesnt improve your game or perception. but i will say it is a comfortable goggle especially for the price. and lastly lens materials. i use polycarbonate and im never going back to glass. i do occasionally fog up but it seems to have a natural tendency not to and fogging only occurs when you exhale. it does not fog then remain fogged for a while. i dont know if that made sense but i dont agree that polycarbonate or high index lenses distort your vision in anyway and is in most cases the lighter alternative. so to finish up. i have polycarbonate lenses in frames that ive curved myself to avoid scratching the inside of my paintball lenses under a JT spectra mask and i have no problems what so ever.

edit: oh and if you decide to get polycarbonate or high index (any special lens material) dont use that anti-fog spray on the prescription glasses.

besides adding fans to your mask (which I did for my v-force, and I can tell you how to, or just do it for you)

you may look into getting industrial grade safety glasses with sidesheilds. Probably couldn't use the sideshields under the mask but they generally snap on quickly enough and cover the sides of your glasses perfectly. PLus they're rated to stop flying metal objects so a paintball should be a breeze for em. Dunno how much they cost as I got mine cheap through work.

The oaklies generally cost in the 300-500 range depending on frame stlye and tint. The lenses alone cost 200 base.

Here's a few sites I found (Recspecs doesn't have there own website it seems):

Contacts=Most awesome no fog awesomeness you can awesomely get. If you have an eye disease that doesnt allow for it get a fan. Thats what I did and it helped my glasses fogging. Also try putting a thin layer of baby shampoo on your glasses before play.

Oakley makes prescription lenses..

Oakley does make prescription lenses for some of their frames. Not all lenses will apply. Contact the company and they can give you more detail. Miscue, if I'm not mistaken they put the prescription lense inside of their lense. I'm not too sure but I think Bolle does the same thing.

Oakley...look at the bottom of the page

I hope this helps...
