jumpinfarmer 0 #1 November 9, 2004 I know this should probably be in the gear forum but here goes. How many people jump with prescription goggles, and how do you like them? I'm thinking about getting some and want opinions about them. Also what are the best ones to get. Thanks Marc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indyz 1 #2 November 9, 2004 I bought a pair from SportRX a couple of years ago. I think they are the G107 model. After a little more than 200 jumps the elastic strap is getting worn out and the foam padding is starting to peel. The strap is standard wear-and-tear. I never did anything special to protect the goggles, just tossed them in my gear bag at the end of the day, which at least partially explains the foam peeling. I switched to contact lenses early this year so I've stopped using the goggles. The non-prescription version of my goggles are only about $25, so if I were still using them I'd probably just ask SportRX to put the lenses in a new set of frames. I think I got my $115 worth.

Squeak 17 #3 November 9, 2004 OK in my short time on DZ.com this subject has come up about 5 times, a search will reveal heaps of info. BUT Sport Rx seem to be the most prevalent scripted goggles. I run a pair of G102s and I have a VERY strong script (8-10 Base ground lenses)You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?

If you knew that Gear & Rigging was where it belonged, why did you post it in General Skydiving and leave it for me to move? If the subject of your post fits a topical forum, post it there, please.

sleddog 0 #5 November 10, 2004 I wear tri-focals! I was wearing goggles over them, but depth perception sucked, & the goggles were always flopping around in freefall. I got a pair of Sport Rx (with my regular scrip) a little over a year ago. For me they are the best. I too had a problem with the foam pealing, a call to Sport Rx & they replaced it. Marc, were you at Couch this year? If so, I think we may have done some jumps together!Blue's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
