Best Prescription Goggle Option?
I have a dry eye issue so wearing contacts while skiing is not much of an option for me. I've been researching and have found 3 options. Anyone have an opinion or advice on which option is best?
1) Bolle Rx Goggles | http://www.rxskigoggles.com/ 2) Bolle Rx adapter inserts | http://www.ski-prescription.com/ 3) LibertySports | http://www.libertysport.com/products...?codectgr=1028 |

Best Prescription Goggle Option?
Thank you lal_truckee. Interesting comment about an optometrist gluing lenses into any goggles. I may ask my optometrist about this idea.
I thought about prescription glasses under goggles, but I have 2 concerns about that option. 1) the frames are metal and the lenses are generally not poly carbon lenses...so, there seems to be a safety issue with this option. 2) I think the glasses might night sit tight especially with me being a snowboarder. The prescription sunglasses with removable wind/snow guards seems to be a versatile option. |

Best Prescription Goggle Option?
I decided to order Bolle goggles with the Rx adapter that installs on the inside of the Goggles. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Total cost was $120. I really was tempted to get the LibertySports SnowRiders, but the total cost was going to be $350. I like that the Bolle + Rx Adapter are real over the helmet goggles and it seems safer that glasses over goggles...not to mention glasses over the goggles has an issue with fogging and just being uncomfortable. I'm a snowboarder, so i need something that will deal with the demands of snowboarding.
Here's a link to the Goggle: http://www.campmor.com/outdoor/gear/Product___87492 Here's the link to the Rx Adapter: http://www.opticsplanet.com/bolle-go...ear-lense.html |

Best Prescription Goggle Option?
Guys, i ended up buying the Bolle Rx Goggles with inserts and the LibertySports sunglasses for snow sports. The LibertySports sunglasses is the best option in my opinion. Even in very cold weather (-2F), i preferred the sunglasses. i thought they might be an issue going down steeps which could cause too much cold air around my eyes...goggles would keep you theoretically warmer...but it was not an issue wearing the sunglasses. Rx sunglasses from LibertySports are comfortable, give clear vision, look good, and they are more flexible in that i could where them around the village and see. Wearing goggles with the Rx insert while in the village just to see is a little weird.
