Prescription Goggles

[JeffSkydiver 0]

Hey folks,

How would I know whether a pair of sport goggles are or are not suitable for skydiving? I now own a pair I bought at the DZ, but at Walmart yesterday I noticed they sell sport goggles in several styles and with prescription lens they're only $80.00.

I would like to get them, but how do I know before jumping them whether they are suitable for our sport versus racketball or whatever?

Check these guys out. You might find what youre loking for.

I would look for something that is slightly vented, and that has foam rubber around your eyes to provide somewhat of a seal.

Take a look at www.barzoptics.com
They can be ordered with prescription lenses.

Also an option is Adidas elevation climacool. The have a insert (very small pair of extra glasses) which you click onto the inside of the goggles). take a look at www.adidas.com..am sure they're on a webpage somewhere

Both are expensive...barz are a bit cheaper then the adidas.

Racquetball glasses - with prescription lenses - have served me well for the last decade.
Sure the big, clear frames look a bit geeky, but they are the only frames that survive my loving students slamming my head into the door frame.
