[quote=Edchris177][quote]Does anyone use ski goggles?[/quote]
I thought about trying them, especially when 3 up on the 5.7. In those cases 2 on the wire & I end up sitting on the hull, foot braced against the traveller casting, eating all the waves.
I have 1/2 dozen different ski googles, I think they all have the same weakness for sailing. The liner that goes against your face is a type of foam that would hold water, plus all the vents are foam covered. All good quality ski googles are double lens, to help control fogging. I have not actually tried a pair, but I think they would accumulate water between the lenses. It would drain, but not instantly. Built for cold weather use, the venting is not huge, they fog badly when you sweat in warmer weather, & or be the cause of sweat running in your eyes.
The cheaper single lens ones "might" work.
You bring up a good point though, I'll bring a pair up for a test drive & report what I find under actual use.
I do like Wolfman, buy 1/2 dozen pairs of knockoff Bolle or Raybans in Shanghai, then put those $1 floater straps on them. I leave several pairs hanging on the gear hooks at the back door so guests don't risk their expensive lenses.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Edchris177 on Aug 21, 2013 - 09:47 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
