Good goggles for ppl who wear glasses?

I was told that certain goggles are better to get if you wear glasses(which I do). I'm sure some of you have tried more than one and there are even some here who have glasses. Id like to hear your opinions

don't get invisions. The proflexs work well with them.

yes, i have used the invision and the proflex 7 goggle systems. the invision mask is not as wide therefore not being as comfortable for people with glasses (yes i have glasses). i would go with the proflex 7, it is very comfortable and is great for people with glasses.

**edit: i told you nick and i were brothers

I wear my sunglasses over my invision. I say try out some masks with your glasses so you can see what would feel the best for you.

V force is the best for glasses, the goggles are farther away from your face than other masks. I used to wear glasses and the fit great with my V force mask.

my teammate has glasses and he's tried alot of masks and chose the proflex b/c of the foamy ears will give him alot of room.
When i was wearing glasses (until i got contacts) i used the flex-7 IZE i loved it and continue 2 use it until i get enough money (that im not usin on upgrades) 2 buy a profiler

I've heard the Java guardians were good with glasses, but they're not really good goggles. My advice would be to do what I did and get contacts.

ummm... how come the proflex and the protues have different ratings? they both use the same lense and foam. i dont understand how it can be easier to change the lenses on a proteus over a proflex when they both have the exact same lense. same thing goes for comfort, its the same exact foam.

i wouldnt really listen to those ratings. go to a proshop and see if you can try on some masks with your glasses on. trying it on is the best thing to do.

I bought the V-force Profiler a couple of weks ago. I tried the JT and Dye line of masks but neither fit as well for me. I also wear glasses. Just keep in mind that the V-Force Profiler does not have a fan system available. Your glasses will likely fog. I'm trying to rig some home made fan system for my Profiler at the moment.

Other than the fan thing, I think the Profiler goggle is great.

PS: You will not be able to take advantage of the field of vision of the V-force Profile goggles if you are wearing glasses because with glasses you only have about a 100 degree field of vision to start with. The Profile goggles, or any other for that matter, will not be able to help us vision impared players.
