Goggles that fit over glasses

deepimpact

I've checked ehobby, and want to stay at around this price (don't want to break the bank)
Anyone have any suggestions (I don't have contacts) ?

Most goggles will fit over glasses. I wear sunglasses under my goggles on sunny days.

Oh wait, is that a space cut out in the foam for the sides of glasses/sunglasses on the Survivor one? Don't see it on the other one though.

Yeah you would proably get glasses under those.

I use Uvex goggle over my glasses, they're not a "brand name" shooting goggle but are certified to the same standards and I find they're actually tougher. I started using mine as I had them from work and they were all I brought with me on the day and I've never looked back. HSS hire shops have protective goggles for sale, I've seen the Uvex ones I use in there for about 15 euro or so. I'd hazard a guess that you could pick them up in a B&Q too. Peripheral vision is perfect and fogging isn't a problem.

The reason I like them is because there aren't many good goggles with decent vision that fit over glasses and still offer peripheral eye protection. I've noticed a lot of them have open sides which is pretty dangerous too.

I've been worried about finding goggles that go over glasses myself too. Might have a look in B&Q tomorrow as it is only up the road. I was looking into those wire mesh eye protectors that come with full face masks but I would prefer something a proper set of goggles myself.

Yes you can but they cost a bit more than just finding a pair of goggles to fit over your glasses and they are usually for Lab work. I don't think that I would be prepared to spend a pile of cash on prescription goggles and have them shot to pieces in a skirmish whereas if the goggles only cost about €15 then the cost is minimal.
Vision Express and SpecSavers do the goggles and any other major optician too though so those would be the places to go if you wanted to go down the prescription route.

eyy its a thought

These are the goggles I mentioned earlier that I use over my glasses. For 15 euro you can't go wrong.

I use prescription goggles/sports glasses that I've gotten in Specsavers for use under my American football helmet but they're not ballistic or ANSI certified to the same extent, meaning a direct bb strike could shatter it.

A good pair of prescription shooting goggles are available from ESS but they cost a bomb
