goggles or glasses

Quick question, when boarding what is preferable to wear goggles or glasses, or is it just personal preference?

re: goggles or glasses

not a boarder but personal preferance, I wear goggles as I am a contact lense wearer and with glasses I find the wind that gets behind them iritates my lenses, otherwise I would prob use glasses weather pemitting.

Cads,
On a real cold day and your eyes are watering, or if it's snowing it's more comfortable to be wearing googles, .
On a clear day, or if your've been up to mischief???where the shades to hide the eyes Cool

Goggles for me too. Especially when combined with a helmet with a goggle clip.
They stay just where you want them.

No matter how hard I tried, with glasses they always ended up wet on the inside.

Glasses, but only Oakley ones as they are the only ones i trust to give my eyes the right protection. Goggles are only deployed when the weather gets really nasty.

I've boarded in shades and glasses for about 6 yrs. Last year bought myself over glasses goggles and they were fantastic. No steaming up and felt secure.

Plus, Boarders always look cooler in their goggles
