The problem I have is finding a pair to fit over my perscription glasses. Not many sites state if the google will fit over glasses. As far as the fogging issue I get it double as bad. I rigged a pair of JT's with fans but it is bulky and a bit heavy. I have sent out a couple of emails trying to find out which of the above mentioned goggles would answer my problems, just waiting on replys now.

Ess goggles are very nice...

The XT @ arround 50$ is the same as the fan equiped at 180$ (just need to punch to hole. (go to addison to buy a mini 12v fan 6$, a switch and 9v battery, strap to the to the rear with twistee tie (fan to)... all for about 12$ total.... so you get ESS fan for 62$ instead of 180$....

And YES they fit with prescription glassed

The only question is Helmet or no helmet (the XT doesnt have over helmet wing extensions... they do have another model for that... name has something to do with aircraft carrier ops... or something

Opticplanet has great prices and great service ((multiple item shipping rebate))

Cheers

I use the Locusts, and they don't fog. Revision also has a nice anti-fog cloth that works really well. Check out their video on it from SHOT show 2011.

Seriously, come to the shop on Saturday and try some on. You'll be impressed. This way, you can try them in person, won't pay shipping. Our prices are the same in CDN as they are on the Revision site in USD. :)

Thanks sportco thats good to know about the ESS goggles. The fan set up is sort of what I am running now, though mine is a bit more bulky. I was wondering if Jeff could answer if the revision Locusts fit with perscription glasses. I saw Doctor Airsofts review on the Desert Locust Fan goggles from the shot show in Vegas and they caught my eye but there is still that eye glass fitment problem I have.

They don't fit most glasses underneath. All Revision goggles have the ability to stick a prescription insert in them, but you'd need to get the lenses made.

Drek, if you decide on ESS. The best price in Canada. I just got one the past summer. They have all styles of ESS.

Note: This is a real tactical store, I've been there in person to purchase my ESS turbo fans. Plus I wear glasses and also purchased the prescription insert. Great product. My whole team uses them now.

After a summer day of fog in my JTs, ESS turbo fan and ESS crossbow was my solution.

Great store, best prices on ESS: http://tacticalproductscanada.com/

Good luck on finding the right product

Thanks Jeff. I saw the opion for perscription lenses but I assumed that would be quite expensive. I will have to check it out and see. ESS is looking like the best bet at this time for myself.

prescription inserts

I got the inserts for my ESS turbo fan and ESS crossbows, one insert fits both products. I payed an extra $100 for the prescription and insert. Not a bad price to me.

I've even use them for snowboarding because of the perscription. lol

Actually that is a good price. I thought for sure it would be really expensive. So would you just get your perscription from your optometrist and take it into the stor and they can order the goggle with the correct perscription. I will really give this some thought. Thanks for that info.

I bought the inserts and took in to my local store. Didn't need to go to an optometrist. Most stores can take your perscription right from your own glass.
