I wear glasses as well and this was my first set of goggle/face mask. Here are the problems that I encountered:
- The goggle frame sticks out very far (enables you to wear glasses inside), reducing your downward phrephrial vision. This makes it harder to see where your feet, increases tripping especially playing in the woods/bushes.
- Glasses are worn fairly close to the face, so I found that the fans were not able to keep the eye glasses fog free
- I got the "clone" version for $40 - the lens is not very clear and scratches/scuffs quite easily.
- Fan is fairly loud
- Quality is poor (i.e. the battery covers)
I then purchased a set of Revisions Asian Locust Military Goggles (
http://www.revisionmilitary.com/prod...goggle-system/) with the prescription lens inserts (Note: my face was still too flat/Asian for these goggles - so I had to add extra foam on the nose-pad). This is a fairly low powered fan (only operates on a single AA battery). I compared its performance with another player at a game at Petawawa Airsoft who used the ESS turbo fan goggles (with inserts). Both of us experienced some fogging.
My current situation (which is by no means perfect) is to eliminate the prescription inserts (as it is just adding two additional layers for fogging) by gluing a set of prescription lens directly to the Revision goggle's lens (on the inside). I did this using hot glue, but find the hot glue comes loose after a while - have had to re-glue it about 3 times now. I will be trying clear silicone (the type used for bathrooms/kitchens) next. I find this helps to really reduce fogging. It can still fog up under heavy exertions. So, my plan going forward is to reduce the amount of gear that I am carrying (got a new vest that feels 10 lbs lighter and a lightweight moisture wisking combat shirt). I also am using a lower mesh face mask to protect my teeth.
