Goggles and perscriptions

Jul 26, 2006 7:02am
I have been looking for a pair of goggles that will fit over a pair of Rx glasses. I have found the Bolle X500 that say they will fit over most glasses but will not work with helmets etc. I have also found that i can order special lenses made to fit a Bolle Rx insert.

I've got perscription sport-goggles. Your optometrist should be able to help you out with a set.

If all else fails, contacts are another option you might want to look into. Any form of eye protection works with those. :)

I've recently bought a pair of Revision Sawfly eye protection. They have Rx inserts that sit on the nose piece behind the ballistic protective lens. I have yet to try them on, or receive them. I bought them based on the review below.

Or you can just go with a comfortable set of paintball goggles and mask. I waer Rx glasses and they fit great with the mask. But I must say spend the # on a good pair since it is summer and it gonna get warm and you will want a well ventilated system.

Okay, ESS "striker" series goggles (not the Profile series) like the LandOps model, work well over regular prescription glasses. The only thing you need to watch out for is that your glasses do not fog up... may I recommend "Ops Drops", you can get it over at US Cav and they're supposed to be some of the best antifog drops out there for land use.
