We have been user testing the Body Specs lightweight flexible goggles in the recent cold snap and are duly impressed by their comfort and versatility.

Goggles mould to the shape of your head to give effective wind protection

With their flexible nose bridge and toggle adjustable head cord, these goggles mould to the shape and size of your face so they are a good choice for anyone who has found standard fixed frame goggles are either too big or too small.

Not only are they a one-size-fits-all design, but their face hugging properties and soft padded eye seal ensures that you get a really protective effective barrier around your eye sockets. These goggles would work well as moisture chamber glasses for Sjogrens sufferers, for example.

This makes them ideal for anyone looking to protect their eyes from the cold wind that has been so prevalent in the UK over the last few weeks.

Good for sufferers from dry or watery eyes or hay fever

Whether you suffer from watery or dry eyes, or if you are looking for goggles to protect your eyes from hay fever, this design is well worth considering.

Use them indoors or out in different light conditions

These goggles come as standard with smoke grey, light-enhancing yellow, and clear lenses and we have found these to be easy to change, so you can use the goggles indoors or outside in different light conditions. All the lenses are made from shatterproof polycarbonate and provide 100% UV protection. They also have an anti-fog coating which we have found to be effective for most uses, though if you were using the goggles for energetic sports they may mist up.

The flexible goggles are also suitable for fitting with prescription lenses.

Light and portable so you can carry them in a pocket when not in use

One of the best plus points we found with the goggles is that they fold up to a compact size that you could easily carry in your pocket when you go walking, sailing, play golf, go bird watching, or any other activity in exposed locations. Also they would be ideal for frequent travellers because they would take up little room in a suitcase and add little to the weight of your baggage.

Fogging up of eyewear is one of the main frustrations experienced by sportsmen and product manufacturers have long been seeking effective ways to minimise it. Now Dixon Eyewear have introduced an innovative new lens technology for their popular TAC-Rx prescription sports glasses that they claim is 100% fog free.

TAC-Fog free sports glasses

Proved to be 100% fog free in testing

Dixon Eyewear have carried out their own tests on the lens and have produced a video demonstrating the results, which are impressive by any standards. They compared the performance of a standard lens with the new fog-free lens when subjected to rapid changes in temperature and relative humidity. The standard lens fogged up completely and stayed misted for at least 30 seconds before starting to clear. In dramatic contrast, the fog-free lens stayed completely clear throughout the test.

Eyewear Accessories carried out its own independent test of the standard TAC-Rx  and found that its anti-fogging properties were far superior to standard sports lenses. However, with the introduction of the new TAC-Fog Free, it appears that Dixon Eyewear have taken sports lens technology to a new level.

Ideal choice for skiing, cycling, running, mountain biking, or football

Dixon Eyewear are recommending the TAC-Fog Free as being ideal prescription sports glasses for skiing, cycling, running, mountain biking, football, or indeed any sporting application where misting up is an issue. The glasses are available with a choice of lenses, including photochromic (light-reacting), clear, or grey tinted.

Body Specs light-reacting wind proof sports glasses

During the autumn and winter, the light levels can be very variable, and for all weather regular cyclists, riders, or golfers this presents something of a challenge.

For anyone who is looking for suitable eyewear that will adapt to rapidly changing weather conditions, the BodySpecs light-reactive windproof sports glasses can be a sensible choice.

Windproof eye seal keeps out the wind and elements

These glasses have a soft eye seal that helps to keep out the wind, rain and elements from your eyes, making them ideal for anyone suffering from dry eye syndrome or if their eyes water when it is windy.

Photochromic lenses change from tinted to clear depending on light levels

The photochromic lenses react automatically to changing light levels. When the sun comes out the lenses will darken to a smoke grey filter category 3 tint to protect your eyes from glare, and in dull conditions, or when light levels are low such as in the early morning or around dusk, the lenses will go completely clear.

Whatever the weather throws at you, you can wear the glasses outdoors without having to select the appropriate tinted lenses before you go, as is the case with interchangeable cycling glasses.

If you suffer from dry eyes or if your eyes are sensitive to windy conditions, you may find that these glasses can provide relief from the symptoms, enabling you to resume an active outdoor life.

BodySpecs Z-002 glasses with eye seal

“Brilliant service and product. Following a viral infection, one of my eyes became sore and inflamed by the wind, which was seriously impacting on my enjoyment of the outdoors. Wearing Body Specs glasses with the gasket keeps my eye moist and protected and has brought long walks back on the agenda. I have bought a second pair with prescription adaptor for driving, computer work, and reading and would recommend them to anyone suffering with dry eyes.”
