Lollingsgrad Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Are there any sunglass style full seal goggles on the market that have dual pane lenses other than the Pyramex i-Forces? I've only been able to find single panes, seems like the i-Forces are just a unicorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Rogerborg Posted October 13, 2020 Supporters Share Posted October 13, 2020 I'm not aware of any. What's the goal? You want something quite like the Pyramex, but different? In what way? DIY double glazing your single-panes of choice is a viable option. A sheet of PETG (I used 0.75mm) and some 2mm thick double sided foam tape cut into strips. It really is as simple as cutting the PETG to fit and sticking it in place, ensuring that you butt the tape joints well so that you don't get any gaps. I've only done it to goggles, but there's no reason you couldn't do it to individual lenses, as long as they're big enough that the tape doesn't obstruct your vision.

You want something quite like the Pyramex, but different? In what way? It's just that they're not a good fit. In particular they leave a worrying gap around the nose. I do like the style in general so I'm fishing for some alternatives to try. 37 minutes ago, Rogerborg said: I've only done it to goggles, but there's no reason you couldn't do it to individual lenses, as long as they're big enough that the tape doesn't obstruct your vision. I'd thought of it but I think in a sunglasses style it'd really eat into your peripheral vision. On the Pyramex the spacer for the panes is in the frame and I don't know if you could retrofit that. I will keep it in mind though thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted October 15, 2020 Supporters Share Posted October 15, 2020 Ah, right. Yes, that's a pickle, and I'm surprised that there aren't more dual panes out there. But then again, I guess there aren't that many people needing polycarbonate glasses that don't fog up after sweaty activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend enlarging the ventilation slits because they're tiny and the goggles end up fogging quick, despite the dual pane lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That circular bit in the middle is just begging for a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a new concept, pinlock inserts and sticks in lenses have been available for motorcycle visors for years, I wouldn't ride without one.

mightyjebus Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I suffer from fogging up so I've tried various things over the years. I've had some success with the dual pane pyramex goggles but I've now switched to these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DCZ6K68/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 not dual pane but I only get minimum fogging when it is humid and thankfully this being the UK that happens once a blue moon.
