Best over glasses goggles?

[1xsculler]

Preferably that don't fog.  Smith, Oakley, or?

[SunSurfer]

Haven't found one that works yet.

I use daily use contact lenses for snowboarding. I've seen a few riders with lenses integrated into the goggle lens as another fog free option.

I know that some goggles are large enough but is the problem that the glasses fog under the goggles?

[SunSurfer]

Glasses lenses fog up. That's been my problem. I only use contact lenses for snowboarding, but it means I can consistently see the snow contour with no condensation in the way.

Oakley Flightdeck work well for me. Like Sunsurfer says it depends a bit on your glasses ive always sprung for the optional anti fog coating when i get new specs so its never been much of a issue. If i do get a slight fog i just lift the google a tad at the bottom to let the air circulate a bit more

I use Von Zipper Fishbowl goggles. Been using them for 4 years and Love them. Never had any fogging issues or glasses rubbing or contacting the lens.

I use Oakley Canopy. I have 2 pairs both with prism lenses, and have never had significant issues. If its super cold I might get a bit of fog on my glasses, but that goes away fast. I wear Oakley glasses too, so not sure if that makes a difference.

I may have just solved my problem with my Smith I/OXs.  I cut a 3/4" section out of each side of the face seal which allows me to wear my glasses under these goggles comfortably.  I hope that doesn't affect any aspect of these great googles.  Now, maybe antifoam fluid will prevent my glasses from fogging.

UVEX - model CRAXX

OTG yellow tint goggles. No peripheral vision restrictions. 

I wear prescription polarized sunglasses under them on sunny days and clear vision glasses under them on cloudy, flat light.

I use an RX insert, and it seems to provide better clarity and periphrial compaired to several iterations of over-glasses models I've tried. Not sure on the perscription limitatons on that, but worth looking at.

[ABRider]

I have been thinking about those. Which brand do you have? Thanks

 

[Mr.E]

I purchased my set up through Sport RX. I'm running Dragon X2's, but they offer their insert for a pretty wide range of goggles.

[MNSurfer]

For years I used to deal with this glasses/goggles situation; fogging, pressure points, general product unavailability. Then I found this brand called 'Lasik'. They're like $2600, but it'll completely change your life.

In all seriousness, any OTG's are a compromise, and at least for me, it was finding something that fit over the particular frames.

I use Smith i/o x over smallish glasses and it works well.

I have been using Smith io/x for the last five years and they are the best. I’m a snowboard instructor riding five days a week and they last my several seasons very well made and they don’t fog.

The goggles rarely fog, the glasses do, especially if you ever lift the goggles, letting the glasses cool down. Given that SCOTT Unlimited II OTG LS works for me.

Same here. At some point I got fed up with trying and found the contacts to be the easier solution. Also, I used to take more falls in deeper snow (I was younger and there was more of it) and not having to dig for my glasses was a plus.

[Neil Gendzwill]

That was my original motivation for contacts: huge early 80s glasses had significant weight. I’d yard sale and both glasses and contacts would go flying, then I’d have to clean and dry both ... royal PITA. 

If you can tolerate contacts, I highly recommend. I use the daily wear ones, very comfortable and no cases or solution to screw with. I have astigmatism so mine are a little more expensive but still not bad: it works out to around $CDN 3 per day.

I solved the problem by cutting about 3/4" out of each side on the face seal on my Smith I/OX so they fit well over my glasses and then used anti-fog solution on my glasses.  Worked great.
