Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

2 choices I think; Goggles with Optical Inserts made to your prescription (do a search, sevaral threads) or Goggles made for wearing over glasses.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

sev,
Only just posted a for sale note in the buy/sell forum, for a pair of Oakley Proven OTG goggles in matte balck with persimmon lens.
There are a number of goggle manufacturers the make OTG - over the glasses models. They tend to have softer portions on the side to stop the arms of the glasses digging in.
My partner opted for laser eye surgery in the end! Highly recommended.
Hope you find what you are looking for.

Colin B,
Yeah - the first not great idea (for me at least) unless you are weak prescription and long sighted, as when you lift your goggles up your're blind
My existing Oakley's goe over my specs - they are just old and scratched, and i'm looking for some hints on good value/good quality modern equivalents
Thanks anyway

sev112, I have a pair of Julbo OTG's which fit me well, better than the Bolle ones i had before, which steamed up all the time. Bought them in resort haven't seen them in the UK.

I have over specs goggles, these never fog up
However my glasses sometimes clog up, when worn with the goggles

sev112.. See if you're suitable for contacts, you might think you're not, but technology has really moved on with them. Took quite a bit of experimenting to get mine 'right', and there's always a bit of compromise, especially if you normally wear varifocals, which I do. In the end though there isn't a lot of difference between my contacts and specs. On the downside, putting them is a real pain to start with, infuriating, but to go into bars restaurants without steaming up, wearing normal sunnies or goggles, it's well worth the hassle.
No way I'd have laser treatment done at the mo.. maybe in ten years when longevity has been proven.

Very Happy with Bolle OTG Vermillion Modulators over my transitions specs

I also wear glasses - all of the OTG designs I found to me looked really bulky, so I tried on every goggle I could find until I found one that went over my glasses. They are Bolle but I can't remember the model, they are not specifically an OTG goggle though.

sev112, another vote for Smiths OTGs. I wear them with lenses and glasses. My son wears them with glasses all the time when boarding. .

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Scottkiwi, I have the scott and previously had Bolle's, as with Kendub I have few issues with the fogging of the googles but my glasses still tend to steam up at the end off the day as I get more tired and hotter. I have ordered a few things from sports-outlet this year and have been impressed with their service and prices.

You know it makes sense.

Wash your glasses with washing up liquid and make sure there is no grease or dirt on them and they will resist Steaming up insode your goggles. Also go to halfords and get some Rain X anti fog (for windscreens) and uuse it on your glasses. Works well
