goggle recommendations

 Looking for a backup set of goggles. My standby is a pair of Oakley
O-frame over-the-glasses goggles that are no longer made. They still
make O-frame, but not OTG. Their only OTG goggles are the "Proven" model
that look like they have much shorter (top to bot) lenses.

Anybody have any recent experience with OTG goggles? I know Smith and
Scott both make OTG, but have never used them.

I use the quick-strap system to alleviate steamed up glasses, anyone try
the battery-powered venting goggles?

 the diving mask anti fog stuff
worked well for me last winter...
the winter woods riding would go from
sweating like a Texan last month
to January in Alaska frozen goggle
haze... then i dabbed some anti
fog stuff in the goggles and the
fogging/frosting disappeared.

the guy i rode with in the 80's
would break the ears off his old
glasses and silicone his glasses
inside his goggles, looked funny
but he seemed to like it, back then
options were more limited.. haven't
tried over the glasses goggle "yet"

I have a pair of bi-focal safety classes. Unscrewed the ears and
placed inside standadard very cheap e-bay goggles. Works pretty well.
But there is a better solution that only costs about $30-$40. They
make stick on lenses that can turn any goggles into bi-focals.
Supposedly you can move them from one pair to another repeatedly. They
can be found on the net by searching multi-focal stick on lense I
believe.

 

Nope, sorry, I wore contact lenses when riding.  Note that current
soft lenses are way different than those available just two decades
ago, e.g., can correct my 8.5 diopter left eye with huge astigmatism
(sp?).


I used those snowmobiling a few years back (with contact lenses) and
they worked fine for anti-fog.

A guy I ride with bought some goggle inserts with his prescription.
You send your prescription off and they send you an insert that will
fit into most any goggle frame.  He said he found the manufacturer in
a motorcycle magazine.  I don't wear glasses so I have no idea who
they are.  He loves them.
