Title: googles?
Post by: turtle22 on July 02, 2009, 01:01:02 PM
so i wear eye glasses to see. but when i try to wear them with my Spy Alloy googles,my glasses fog up super fast. ive seen some google for wearing both. but i could not see much differants in them. i really dont want to spend high dollars on procription googles seeing how fast i go thru lens riding in the desert and mountains. anyone got any ideas?

Check out Pro-Vue. I don't wear glasses (yet) but have friends that have used their products & won't use anything else & supposed to be reasonable on price. I always use tear offs (even when dry) as it greatly extends lense life. Hope it helps.

 I used to have that same problem when riding in the rain or when skiing. I now have three sets of Smiths Goggles that have a tiny battery operated fan in them. These work great  while skiing, making the fogging a thing of the past. During normal summer riding, I can use a regular set of Oakley goggles, but in the rain or cold fall riding I use the Smiths fan goggles. They arent cheap but worth every penny. If they fail to operate,send them back to Smiths, they will replace them for free, a great company to deal with.

 My favorite fan goggle is a Smiths Prodigy. It has the best battery life of the three. I get all my ski lenses from  " 1 800 Pro Lense "  just give them a call and the lense is in your mailbox in a few days.  Ski lenses are two layer like a double pane window glass.
  I do not think ski lenses are under $10 like dirt bike goggles.
