Anyone wear glasses under goggles?

I hate contacts and I really need my glasses to ride properly.

So looking for some recommendations on ones that fit well?

I've been looking at melons currently. But open to options that are known to fit well.

There are several brands that make goggles designed to fit over glasses, there is a thread on it somewhere on the forum, but I couldn't find it.

I know 100% do an OTG range (over the glasses)

ACCURI OTG
 
Obviously everyone's glasses are different so I can only comment on mine but I've worn glasses with Melon and 100% goggles and I found the fit is very meh (both googles are great without) I also have a pair of Smith Wildcats glasses that are very close to googles and found those to fit slightly better with my glasses but I am yet to find a real viable option to wearing glasses and eye protection so if you do please let me know.
 
Get prescription safety glasses?

I see melon have a return fuction, maybe I'll order some and try them.

Prescription safety glasses for me. I've had a couple of contact lenses blow out.
 
Roll offs/tear offs for the lens , they are see through covers for the goggle lens you rip off when they get too muddy to clear the lens. Used a lot in MX
 
What's roll off support?

Its a film that goes over the goggles, and as you get mud on them you rip one off to have non muddy goggles again, its a racer thing more than anything. But running them constantly can really help stop lense scratches.

Possibly this?

I use this UVEX safety goggles over my glasses, they are cheap and work like a charm, can't imagine riding without them when it's colder outside.

I use 100% OTG and they are fine over my specs. They ventilate well and I get very little problem with steaming up. However, the ventilation mesh is good enough to keep out dust.

I'd prefer the clear lenses for my Oakley riding specs (I have heavy tints for sunshine) but the price for multifocal+astigmatism lenses is just plain stupid. I can buy 10 sets of goggles for that!
 
Oakley OX8033_06 - £75 from Low Cost Glasses with prescription lenses - £75 all in. Stop my eyes watering on the descents.

How long ago did you get these? Current cost is £100 with discount. They do look decent though ?

2 weeks ago....£125 now.........knew I should have bought 2 pairs...........wanted some with transition lenses. I’d pay £125 though......they are good.

Cheers. I might hold out for the next price dip for now, they do look ideal so I'll definitely get some ?

Just found Low Cost Glasses on Quidco. 15% discount plus 0.8% cashback, if that will stack with their current onsite discount it makes a difference.

I need to get a new eye test really so I might get that sorted next week so my prescription is up to date...
 
look at the store. I bought cheap glasses and had the glasses made. The price was 400 euros

I did look at the store. All it does is point me to the Spanish distributor in Barcelona. There doesn't seem to be any way of buying anything online. Maybe it's different for each country?
