What goggles should i get? I wear glasses...

[Ford Prefect]

Hey guys, im just wondering what set of goggles you recommend for a guy that wear's glasses when he plays. Im thinking of getting the new JT Proteus with the fan. What do you guys suggest?

[Richy_C]

V-force masks are designed to allow large glasses, and they are, "optically correct", they say that it means there is no optical fluxuations, i say it's marketing

i also wear glases,they are small,but they barrely fit in the JT nVader.so dont get that. but the JT spectra has a very large range of view(allowing more room for glasses and such)

k guys don't laugh, but the brass eagle extreme vision mask has like curved lenses that leave a good 2 in. or so for glasses. They r a pretty high quality mask to for like $30

[MuckRaker]

yeah ... I've worn my sunglasses under my Raven Nuvis and it was comfy ... Vforce gogs also have the bubble lens for OTG.

[paintballer56]

most masks u can just wear your regualar glasses under the mask...

one company has inserts that hook up to the mask they look awfully *** so i wouldnt get them

[harrysacks]

just dont get the flimsy little brass eagle masks

[Q-Ball]

I wear glasses and they fit pretty well under my PMI X-Fire goggles.

[Q-Ball]

Ahh Stupid me, I meant to say PMI X-Ray goggles

yeah i have x rays and they work pretty well.BE's xtreme vision goggles are good for glasses and have great quality. Don't diss be what they do for paintball is unquestionable excellent for the paintball industry. Your just being judgmental about be because you hear everyone say they make crap so you feel that you have to agree like a mindless zombie without even trying out there equipment,this message is towards any be basher...

I can highly recommend the vforce shield mask
I've played for years and i've never seen a better mask
I bought my wife one and after tring it drove immediatly back to buy the other one my local paintball store had before anyone else got it. BTW any one want to buy a few used masks??

The JT spectra line of goggles are OTG, over the glasses. You can pretty much wear glasses underneath any of these goggles.

Also you can buy glasses frame inserts for JT goggles. You bring these inserts into your optomtrist and you can get your prescription put into the system, a bit more comfortable than have your glasses pushed up into your face.

I've tried most of the masks on the market, and the only thing that I've been able to play fog-free with is the Proteus. Because I have severe damage in my right cornea from a mtn. bike accident (stone to the eye followed by a nasty dbl. eye infection), I have no choice but to wear very-very large frames. The only goggles that will fit over my glasses are: JT Spectra series (Proteus), BE 280, And V-force. My first goggles were the BE's, and they never fogged-but my glasses did. A fan helped- but the design of the BE's & V-force nose foam forces your glasses too close to your eyebrows which causes condensation, and a fan wont remove droplets. The Proteus "captures" (for lack of a better word) your glasses, and keeps them the right distance from your face to prevent fogging and/or droplets. The only time I've had to turn the fan on was on a rainy day, and my glasses were clear in about 10 seconds. The second problem I've had with the BE- VForce design is because the eye chamber is so big, ALOT of your sweating forehead is in that closed in area causing more fog. The other thing that works great in preventing fog is a product called "Cat Crap", and yes-thats it's real name. Pick some up at a ski shop or off the net and you'll be ready to rock. Sorry this post is so God-awful long, but After playing sub par games with foggy glasses for so long- I jump at the opp to tell fellow double goggle (glasses and mask) wearers what works for me. Hope it helps!

One of the main reasons I went with the raven mask was because I wear glasses, I have tried others and with the raven I have tons of room. the effect you have while they are on is wide open, with plenty of room to then move the mask up or down. Unlike other masks they are narrow on the inside as well giving no room for adjustment.And the strap in the back with the clip latch, I thank raven every time I take them on and off it makes it so easy.

Anyone need a good mask? I have a hardly used jt flex 7 thermal ized spectra non fog mask. I paid 85 for it 8 months ago. It still is in great condition. Anyone really want to buy it respond asap at bsdankers@earthlink.com with a serious offer

[Insanekila]

i used to wear glasses (now contacts) and i recomend the jt spectras because they allow a wider field of view than the x-fire but i could still fit my glasses into the x-fires (but barely) and the spectras were a perfect fit
