Newbie Goggles

[coldsolderjoint 0]

Hi,

Im new here, 1st AFF jump yesterday.

I used the search function and it seemed like I got results for goggles for advanced skydivers.

What is a good goggle for me to buy as a brand new jumper. The DZ has them, but they are kind of greasy and most dont fit right.

Another student in our class bought some from the gear store, but his instructor wouldnt let him use them because they were tinted.

So, as a brand new jumper. What should I get? I would assume ones like the DZ has for us to use, but what are these brands and what would they cost around?

Thanks Alot

Flex Z goggles. <-- click that

My opinion, they are about the best standard goggles out there

As long as it's clear...maybe amber it's ok too, your instructors need to "read" you, ad the eyes say a lot of things!

Best thing to do is try on as many pairs as possible until you find a nice fitting set...

having said that, I agree with Hookitt - I own a pair of Flex Z's

I have a pair of peerser goggles, they're on the same site already linked. Good for starting out, more comfortable than the cheapo ones they give you for student status, but they tend to cut off your peripheral vision.

Just make sure you get something clear, the instructors need to be able to make eye contact to communicate with you.
