I need goggles and I have glasses!!!

Hi, having glasses and needing goggles that fit into your helmet is a real pain. Last year I bought my wife a pair of Smith goggles to go over her glasses and I just recently purchased a pair of Scott OTG goggles. The Smith's seem to fit better for both myself and my wife, but it is personal preference. I would recommend the Smith, model 87, OTG. Good luck.

fryertuck75,
You got some good goggle recommendations, but may I make 1 more? After a lifetime of thick (about 1/4") glasses, 2 years ago I had the lasik eye surgery done. All I can say is wow!,right off the table I was seeing good, and was driving to the doctors office the next day with no glasses. My vison is almost 20/15,and I am now free of the need for glasses and contacts just to function. Back then I paid almost 4000 bucks, but now it is around 1500 for both eyes. With everyone willing to drop 5-7,000 for a quad, why not put some of that money into yourself, and enjoy good vision all the time, even when you're not riding!
Just my 2 cents, have a good ride whatever you wear!

Good info--I've been thinking of that too since I sometimes get headaches wearing glasses outdoors. Need them though cause I want to avoid any antelope fawns hiding in the tall grass! (Came close to a little guy last year and as usual had the wrong lens in the camera.)
Most people here seem to go to Canada to have it done because of easier access I think, and lower cost. Did you also?
BTW I use Scott OTG too, work fine.

When I started ATVing I quickly got tired of the hassles of glasses and goggles, especially the fogging in the cold and wet weather. I made the switch to contacts and have never regretted it. Now I have the choice to wear any sun glasses or goggles I want, without the hassles. Now I buy cheap goggles and just throw them away when they get scratched up - no more $100 goggles. If contacts will work for you, I highly recommend you check into it.
