Does anyone have any experience with their products? I'm basically looking for ski goggles that fit well over prescription glasses for high altitude snow/glacier travel.

For high altitude, why not look into Bolle Goggles? I own a pair of their goggles which has an insert frame with my prescription. They used to make several goggles that would either fit over glasses, or allow you to have you prescription (usually clear lenses) frame inserted into them. Bolle has been around many years and might be one of the few companies still offering these products. Check them out.

Cool, thanks for the tip! I'll check them out. Using goggles over glasses is the best option for me because I hardly ever need glacier glasses. For all the Sierra stuff I do, my regular prescription glasses work just fine.

There's a company that makes goggles for motorcyclists that fit nicely over glasses and they are in the $40 price range. I've tried several different goggles and these were the best. Unfortunately they took a trip to gear heaven after falling into a cravasse on Rainier so I don't remember the manufacturer. I'll try and find an old receipt.

What should I look out for as far as lenses go? If they block out UVA/UVB 100%, is there anything else that matters such as lens color to protect against brightness? I was thinking about something along these lines: http://www.opticsplanet.net/bolle-y6-otg-goggles.html

just Google OTG (over the glasses) goggles. As their name sounds, they are made for this exact purpose -- and they work quite well. Any store (i.e., Scheels, Sports Authority, REI, etc.) will have a solid selection of OTG. Additionally, they are surely all over on the web. from $25-$200

Bolle not only carries goggles with prescription inserts, their goggles also allow you to interchange lenses. I find that since I have to wear glasses anyway, the best combo is mountain glasses (90% plus blockage of sun) and when the weather gets really bad and visibility is terrible I usualy have the phototropic (sp?) (yellow) lenses in the goggles (with clear prescription inserts in them). The yellow lenses give you a great depth of field vision in flat light, fog or snow/wind situations. This works really well. This set up is for high altitude which I consider to be over 15K.
PS I just checked the link you provided and the set up I have is BO-SA-RX-adapters-921144000.

Looks like those are also compatible with the goggles I posted above. It would be for elevation up to roughly 19k.

Looks to me like you have the subject covered. Good climbing, Alois.

Thanks again for your help
