Ski Goggles for blind folk like me

I wear glasses and am looking for something for wearing over my glasses. Been a few yeas and I am going to try to get back into skiing this year.

you could go to a ski shop and try some on, just an idea tough

I was at REI today picking up a helmet and goggles for my daughter. The selection was crap. Wanted to see what others had used. Didn't end up with time to hit a dedicated ski shop.

ETA: and sadly due to work schedule and my daughters schedule I will not be able to hit one up all week either.

For over glasses just try on as many as you can find. Wearing both sounds very uncomfortable to me. I know that prescription goggles are made. Not sure how it works.

If you don't have a helmet then I would consider getting one. Head injuries happen.

You can get prescription setups with Smith goggles.

The three they had at REI were the suck. Pressed the glasses slightly which distorted the image through my prescription.

I could suck it up for one time with just my prescription sunglasses but goggles are better for comfort for long term.

just saw these exact things in the sportsmans guide magazine I got. I'm sure the website will show them. they were overtop riding goggles.

too bad you missed the ski expo this weekend--you could've tried on just about every pair of goggle imaginable.

My dad has an older pair of one like these and loves them. Get one with the fan so your glasses do not fog up.
