Scott has a great reputation making ski goggles. This over the glasses (OTG) model really secures your eyeglasses on your face. No need for bands around the back for the frames. The soft foam pushes the goggle lenses away from your face and keeps you warm while preventing fog by the installation of a venting system. Amber is the best all-around color for general skiing condition, form full sun to cloudy. You can also fit it with other color lenses.

I have used these goggles for two seasons now (I also use them sometimes with my snowblower if it's windy), and while they are fine if I use them with just a hat, they seem to fog very easily if I use them with my helmet (a Giro fuse). They just fit under the helmet, and I suspect that perhaps the helmet could be blocking the airflow a bit. I think it must be difficult to find OTG goggles that fit under helmets, as helmets offer less exposed facial area, and OTG goggles are by nature large.

So if you ski with a hat, these are great. If you ski with a helmet, make sure you try them with the helmet before you buy them. I have "solved" the problem by wearing prescription sunglasses with the helmet, and a hat only on days where I really need the goggles, but I really prefer having the helmet on, so the goggles don't get used much.

Great purchase, very comfortable on face, fits perfectly over glasses, does not pull glasses off of face when removing goggles, and less than half the price at than Dick's or in the ski shop. I recommend to anyone who wears glasses while skiing. Amber lens is good for bluebird days and for night skiing.

Great value, worked wonderfully on our recent ski trip, next to no fogging, fit very well over my glasses, recommend highly

Yes, these do work over glasses. I did a tiny bit of trimming of the foam around the nose with my leatherman scissors -- now they don't touch my regular glasses at all. I have several pairs of glasses and prescription sunglasses and these goggles fit over them all except my widest pair (and they are kinda' wide). They work over my head, a cap, a knit cap. Don't know about a helmet. Very comfortable. Great visibility. I'm happy. I'll try to report again once I've worn them in wild.
