Regular or Perscription sunglasses

[prepheckt 0]

Hey I was wondering for those of you who wear glasses, do you wear contacts with regular sunglasses to jump or do you wear perscription sunglasses? I have a pair of Oakley sunglasses, but it's kind of a pain to wear them, because they aren't perscription. If I do get a pair of perscription Oakley's I'm worried about losing them in freefall not to mention the fact of trying to land with uncorrectived vision. Normal sunglasses would be cheaper....Thanks for the help in advance...

somthing i have seen alot people do is wear crokeies(sp) on there glasses under there helmet. If you were a fullface that would seem like overkill. Even with all that i would be VERY nervous about taking a $500-$600 pair of shades jumping.

<----Lost his nice pair of Oakley's at 5k 4 weeks ago. I have an idea where they are, in about a 100 yard square area, although it is very tall grass...I keep meaning to go look for them, just for the hell of it.

Eitherway I wasn't really happy about loosing my Oakleys, even though through some connections I had only paid $40 to have them ordered from the factory, still, they're gone and if I want another pair like them I'm going to have to pay full price this time ($130ish).


I'm going to stick to my $10 goggles for now, thank you.

I have prescription Oakleys, but I don't jump in them. I jump with my God-given vision, flawed as it is. I was worried when I first started doing it, but I'm nearsighted, so the last 30-50 feet of final look clear to me anyway.

I wear contacts with shaded goggles. It's easier than wearing glasses and goggles over them. Those disposable contacts rock, imho.

I have normal glasses that go darker the brighter it is. I also have a normal pair of sunglasses for when I have my contacts in (damn visor on the z1 )

Think about maybe getting perscription goggles? Got mine for like 80 or 90 $$ Can get them tinted so best of both worlds.
