Goggles and eyewear

I only wear goggles for poor visibility, for all other times Sunni's 8)

Funnily enough, I wear sunglasses ONLY when the sun is out. As soon as you lose that light, I find you need to get the bins off and go back to the googles. I cant not wear anything or else my eyes run like mad.
I have got more used to wearing googles (Yes I know they are goggles) in recent trips, and now find them better to wear all the time. Mine are North Face, and they were the most confortable face fit with good visibility I came across.

caron look out for Adidas Robin goggles. Quite good peripheral view and they are made for smaller faces :D

2 options i would say
1 the addidas you mention
2 bolle do a butterfly clip/insert that will fit pretty much ANY make of goggle
I can get this for you if you want to go down that road

Most goggle makes will do an over the specs goggle which will generally be a bit bigger in size to fit over the glasses.these models will sometimes give you a better field of vision because of their larger size

Thanks for the reply mate, but i don`t really get on with goggles. i`ll wear them over sunnies when the weather turns, but that`s about it. Looks like the Adidas E.E Explorers are the way forward for me then!

My experiences with wearing glasses and goggles over the last 25 years of skiing are that most of the OTG goggles available make the wearer look like a complete prat.

It is not fun wearing what looks like a plastic cereal box on your face. Only in the past year or two have makers stopped treating specs users like an afterthought. To accompany my trusty Oakley L Frames, I now have some Sinner Beast 2 with a rather nice Tortoiseshell frame :D
