Okay, so received the new, standard bicycle goggles from Kroops, the ones I asked them to swap out for the huge OTE bike goggles. These standard goggles, while smaller indeed, do not offer enough stand-off to accommodate eyeglasses. At the bridge, in particular, the goggles actually dimple in, and even at the edges, where the plastic folds, there's just not enough room.

However, I figured that the lightweight lens material could be reshaped a little, so I broke out my wife's hairdryer, turned it on high, and began heating the lens. Once warm, I started squeezing them horizontally, focusing on making that concave bridge area convex. After a few minutes it was done, and so far, seems to have worked.

The goggles are light enough that they can sit on the glasses and, provided the strap isn't too tight, be comfortable and provide pretty good wrap coverage. There's still a little contact at the brow for me, but otherwise, just a couple of mm of clearance off the face most of the way round.

Obviously they're not going to provide the warmth of a ski goggle like this, but having worn the Kroops without my glasses, I have questions about how well they'd work with full face contact anyway, since the upper part of the lens touches my forehead, making heat and sweat condense on the lens. I just don't see how they could be any good like that.

That said, I haven't used them yet, so I could be wrong. It's just under freezing, and we got a dusting a snow last night, so a good day to put a lightweight goggle like this to the test. I'll see if my shaping mod worked to make them more comfy, and if having a little gap around the edges still lets the goggles do their job to keep my face warm and eyes from watering.

I'll come back with a ride report shortly!
