OTG Goggles SUCK! Try This Instead!!

I've struggled to find a good solution for my eyesight when i'm on my mountain bike.
Riding with my specs gives me the best all round vision but offers no protection.
So i thought i had found the perfect solution with OTG ( over the glasses) Goggles as i would get all the protection i need but still be able to ride with my specs on!
Well as I found out OTG goggles suck!!!
But I have found a solution!!!!!!!

They sell OTG goggles that will fit well over the glasses. Put helmit on, slip eye glasses on then goggles will slide in place without any fuss. The goggles you have are not OTG goggles. good demo, the best to you.

[felipemorales]

You just have to put first the goggles an then the strap and that's it.. I've been using the Airmega goggles like that with no issues.

[kymmoulds]

Well done sir. as a person who rides and wears glasses I will give this a try. Oh, and a BIG thumbs up.

Try scott split OTG goggles. Wider than Oakley air brakes but goes over glasses quite easily. Might depend on your glasses too of course. I wear Oakley sport style glasses regularly so these worked for me.

[JustMe-dvix]

SCOTT is What I also use, they fit perfectly over my glasses with no fuss. I changed strap to the Quick straps, and putting on the goggles and removing them is a breeze.

I completely agree with you I’ve tried otg goggles even different brands they suck my glasses always fogged up I’ve just bn riding without glasses for past several years I just bout some prescription inserts I love mine I’m not guessing in shaded areas no more I can now now I can look farther ahead and I’m not running out of the trail and I’m faster my speed is back best money I ever spent for my riding I even can ware tinted lenses now

I bought a set of non OTG goggles (100% Racecraft 1 - old model) and cut out the plastic + foam untill they fit nicely. No worries getting them on and off even though I have fairly big glasses 🙂
Not sure if it works with the never model, but cant see why it shouldnt.

Have worn goggles for skiing forever and never had a problem getting them on over my glasses. I always check that the goggles fit and when I buy eyeglasses I look for frames that aren't too wide.

[aranoilean]

what i personaly do, i wear a dual sport helmet, with visor and pin lock, no goggle, ., no problem of fog, or anything, ,

but i record your way, it can be usefull

[peterwarren]

Check out bolle safety glasses from boots, my mate in work has a pair and they’ve got a a strap attached which you can take off, I’m gonna see about getting a pair myself think they’re not to expensive either 👍

It's been 10 months since this video is uploaded. How are the RX inserts been treating you? I have the same "problem" with motorcycling, especially on the offroad bike. I have a helmet with visor but the ventilation is horrible in summer, so I always get sand and dust in the eyes from underneath my glasses (internal sunvisor acts as the safety glass).

[billys]

not a glasses wearer but could you not cut out like a 1cm of the foam where your glasses sit?

[steveoutdoors]

Good advice mate. Suppose it's easier for those who use contact lenses as they use just any goggles and not worry about glasses or inserts.

[bionic]

I tried some inserts and cant get on with them at all, my vision is just weird and feels like im slightly disconnected from reality. I have a normal pair of goggles, push my glasses through, put the glasses / goggles on, the bring the strap around.

[dirtcheapdownhill]

Great informative vid Gordy, glad you can finally see, no reason not to fly now 🤪🤙

[brokenlegz]

I tried contacts. Don’t like them. They feel funny. Eyes kept watering which made my vision worse. Plus the optometrist told me contacts will never be as clear as glasses. And it took me nearly all day to get used to the vision contacts gave me, kind of like getting used to wearing glasses all over again!

I can get my glasses in my Oakley Airbrake but it is a faff like you say! So what seems to be working is I unscrewed the arms off my glasses. Drilled a hole in two zip ties put the little screws back in holding the zip ties and cut them to the appropriate length and basically made my own RX lenses out of my old pair of glasses. Doesn’t look quite so silly. Seems plenty stable just mucking about riding down the street. And I’m still looking through my old glasses! And don’t have the faff of the arms.

I dont have any problems whatsoever with my Scott OTG goggles.

[dirtyoffroader]

Hi, Great video.. where can I order these inserts in the UK?.. the only inserts I can find for motocross goggles are stateside. Cheers

[JoshSmith-hgqz]

[robinadamson]
