I wear glasses and ski. I’m usually fine just wearing prescription sunglasses but today it’s snowing. I have polarised goggles that fit over my normal glasses but I find they steam up and the polarisation seems to make the piste look a bit funny. Would I be better with a helmet with a visor-if so which one? I can wear contact lenses but I find my vision isn’t as good.

I'm sorry I have no answers- but the same problem... so watching for interest!

I'm not a glasses wearer, but I have the Salomon Mirage helmet with built-in visor.
The specs say it's suitable for use with glasses. There's a fair enough gap between my eyes and the visor when I put it down.

DD, DH and I all wear glasses. DD and DH have decathlon helmets with visors. I have over the glasses goggles. I don't think they were any particular brand - just google otg goggles. They work well for me - fit well and don't fog up.

I have a helmet with a visor, was brilliant for putting over my glasses. Would definitely recommend.

I find contact lenses to be preferable to steamed up glasses (but I don't really like goggles either). Someone I was skiing with had oval goggles over their glasses which they were happy with. Polarised Oakleys I think they were

I have anti mist spray for my glasses for riding the motorcycle, I steam up otherwise, worked a treat in the cold snap. Should work with ski goggles

Thank you, I’m going to try a helmet with visor. Much appreciated!
