Can anyone recommend something like this? My skiing goggles are sometimes too dark for ice climbing, I'd like a quality product to protect my eyes from shattered ice. Something like this http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/product/7557954/?grossPrice=Y&cm_mmc=UK%7... but I'd like opinions from actual users... thanks

I use Motocross goggles just like Ski goggles but with clear lenses.

I've used biking glasses in the past with good success. Tried some ppe glasses aswell but they weren't as comfortable and disorted my vision. Used a product called Fogtech to stop them fogging up. The coating lasted two or three days

I actually wear these types of safety glasses at work and they are not the most comfortable ! You could just get a pair of cycling glasses with clear lenses.

Or these

The advantage of ski goggles is the 'double glazing' stops fogging. Slightly cheaper than the Julbo ones but still proper ski goggles:

Just go with reasonable biking glasses with interchangeable lenses http://www.evanscycles.com/products/endura/stingray-glasses-set-ec011935 for example. I find goggles too oppressive & vision-limiting if you're climbing in decent weather. For what it's worth, you are best off with clear/yellow lenses in you ski goggles for climbing as you're probably only going to wear them when the weather cr*ps out & so light levels will be low...

Julbo sunglasses with the "Zebra" photochromatic lens are really light (not quite clear, but close) when they are out of the sun.

I wear the Julbo Race glasses with the Zebra lens for ice climbing, and haven't had them fog up on me at all.
