Mask with Glasses

I wear glasses. Right now I am wearing a JT with thermal lens and a fan. The glasses stay fog free with the fan being an absolute necessity. But the hinges hit the lens pushing the glasses hard against my face. And getting the glasses through the foam edge of the goggles is difficult...really not enough room.

My wife and son bought me a Proto "Flex?" for Christmas. The fit was worse and the very expensive cool looking fan was a joke which couldn't keep glasses or lens clear (yes, I know, the lens is supposed to be super fog proof...not with the humidity my sweating face produces)

Now, what brand and model of goggles out there fit over glasses, have a thermal lens and a fan that works? Let me add that I have modified the openings around the  goggle edges on the JT so the fan works 300% better than original. The same mods on the Proto did little because the design of the fan is really a joke with no consideration for actual air flow. (but the fan looks cool! Yes, my background is mechanical eng.)

I would love some constructive input. I am not likely to get contacts or have Lasik surgery.

Yeah, i agree with wildgoat. Contacts is the way to go. But failing that just get a mask that is not so close to your face.

I have played with some very small laptop computer fans and could probably make such a design work. The Proto goggles did not have enough room along the edge to attempt placement of a modified fan design without getting into some heavy duty, pull out the calculator, re-design work. May have to go that way.

My son is now wearing soft  contacts, a solution not available when I started contacts as a teenager. It appears that even with no adaptation time I could wear such with no detrimental effects to my eyes for a day of play.

Still, there have got to be some goggles aimed at glasses wearers!

I wear glasses and use a V-force shield,and I can't say enough good things about it! It has never fogged,is very comfortable to wear and is easy to get on and off...

Now, since my local shop dos not carry the V-Force at all I figured it a good idea to order a spare lens when I purchase the Shield. Anyone know the difference between the rental lens for $10 and the standard clear lens for $20 (and mirrored lens that cost as much as the mask!!!)
