I've done it a few times, but always better with lenses - not just from a safety point of view but the buggers keep steaming up!

If prescription sunglasses, you could wear them depending on the weather. If planning on wearing goggle's though, might be best with contacts

Hi Wolf7,

I have inserts in my goggles they easily clip in and out, just get your eye script detail email/send them to the company and hey presto. Have had mine for 2 years so time it's time to get my eyes tests soon.

S.P. (HD )Who said that?

Just ordered a pair of Goggles with the prescription inserts, but for the last 4 years been using OTG goggles over my specs, or prescription sunglasses without too much bother.

I ave followed S.P. down the insert route, and they are fine. However following S.P. on the slopes is a different matter, during a white out I nearly followed him into waist high snow two years ago !!!11

As has been mentioned you can get prescription goggles but in my view that's an expensive option. You can get goggles that will fit over the glasses but I prefer daily lenses and then I have the option to wear sunglasses or goggles and of course the option to change goggles.
