Goggles over prescription glasses

Posted by tomasz in Life, Snowboarding

As some of you may know I belong to this kind of human beings whose eyes need some help to correctly describe what is going on around us. Most of the time it doesn’t make any problems - I’m wearing my prescriptions and everything looks normal.

Problems start when I’m going to snowboard. Usually snowboarding comes together with frost, wind and sun. OK sun not so often but the rest is almost always present on the slope. Again usually it doesn’t make any problems - you just wear ski/snowboard goggles and everything is fine.

But what if you need both of them? When I was exploring this problem couple of years before the only solution to my problem was switch to contacts and wear goggles.

Some time went by and finally this year we started to snowboard. The problem of goggles showed up again, but this time I have found the solution: goggles OTG (over the glasses). It looks like now almost every manufacturer has something in the catalog to please four-eyed people.

Here is what I’ve chosen:

Uvex Optic Vision L - one of two or three that were available in large size. As you may see on the pictures - my huge prescription glasses fit very well.
