Goggles for Guys with Glasses

yes their is some companys that do them i think that v-force has a couple of masks that will do the job

It would be awsome if the lenses on the goggles where like prescription. Then you wouldn't have to wear glasses when paintballing.

i know a player who i met in a tourney who makes custom masks for people with glasses,large heads,small heads,ect. he said that whenever i need a custom mask hell make me one discounted but they are quite pricey though

PM me if you need one id be glad to help

I used to have contacts. I had to stop wearing them because my prescription changed and now I can't see anything up close when I have them in. Man I miss 'em...

I used to have glasses, and I wouldn't wear them when I paintballed. Now I have contacts and they rock!

patent pending. my friend and this other guys dad got together and invented it, so they're trying to get it patented.

oh. well in that case i guess the patent will be rejected.

There are a couple of ways to deal with eyeglasses and paintball masks. First: JT actually makes an insert that fits into the holes below the viser and hangs down between your eyes and the lens of the goggles. Prescription lenses are fitted into the insert that looks like a pair of glasse without temples. With these your corrective lenses are hooked on the the goggles and you don't have to wear your glasses at all. It seems like an expensive fix though because you need to have lenses made that fit into the insert. Second: get goggles from a manufacturer that offers a fan that will keep you goggles clear. Thermal lenses on the goggles are not enough, they will keep the goggle lenses from fogging up but your glasses will still fog. JT,Dye, Proto and Extreme Rage all offer fans for their products. I used to wear glasses that were pretty large and I had JT Spectra thermal goggles with a fan and I never had a problem with fogging no matter how hot and humid it got. If you can find a pair of goggles from one of these compainies that feels good get a fan and you won't be sorry. I thought the JTs worked well with my glasses. The Dyes were kind of tight even with my new smaller glasses. I never had a chance to try the Proto or Extreme Rage. I hope this helps.

Are there any masks that are specifically designed to accommodate glasses?

 

The way I’m reading the posts is that masks like the V-Force just happen to be roomy enough to make ‘em fit, which works for me.

 

I saw the JT inserts but I don’t want to get them, and then have to spend a ton of money if my prescription changes again.

 

One of the problems with prescription goggles, like the ones for scuba, for example, are that they are so huge, so curved and at such an odd shape that they give the wearer a “fishbowl” view of the world.
