Goggles with prescription inserts?

Kass88

Hi all,

About to start biking again after many years break.
I wear glasses now but I don't like contacts. And I don't wear glasses under goggles. Does anyone know where/what brand etc... sell mtb goggles with prescription inserts? You can get them for skiing and snowboarding. But struggling to find anywhere in the UK that does mtb ones?!

Cheers all.

Can't you just wear skiing goggles?

Not full goggles, but Bolle Tracker safety glasses offer great coverage for MTB and can be fitted with an optical insert.

I've a friend who snowboards and he has said ski/snowboard goggles don't provide great vision except for the sunniest of days. Due them being crazy on uv protection etc... for when your on the slopes.

Will check them out jimothy78. Cheers

Only people I know who wear goggles on a bike are gnarly DH types.

Goggles with xc helmets are well #enduro though.

10yrs ago I used to do DH. But it'll probably take me a while to get back into it. It'll probs take me a month to do a manual again haha. I just don't want to be wearing glasses or shades tbh. They would drive me mad.

@RockmonkeySC

See you have a nukeproof.
I'm looking into the scout 275 comp.
But I can't find anywhere with the 2015 or 2016 to have a test on. I'm 5'11 heigh and 31" leg. What size do you wreckon is a nice fit? Large 17"?

I have no idea, I suspect that the sizing of the Scout hardtail will be very different to my Scalp downhill bike.

Not aware of any with goggle inserts. Could try OTG goggles, should also kill some of the bounce from glasses as well.
