Goggles to fit glasses under?

I won't be able to get contacts before my trip to Big Sky, so I'm wondering what goggles are able to fit glasses underneath? Less than ideal, but I have no other choice. I have a relatively small, narrow face, so I'm not familiar with looking for anything but tiny goggles. Thank you!

There are a lot, they're referred to as OTG (over the glasses)

I don't where glasses so have no experience.

Ahhhh perfect. Thank you
 
Go into a shop and try a bunch on with your glasses before buying. The Smith iox is an OTG as well as the Oakley Lineminer, flight deck and fall line.
 
As a skier who has only ever skied with glasses, I recommend find a pair that works for you and buy multiple pairs and back up lense.

I've been rocking a couple of pairs of Oakley Catapults (best OTG I've ever owned) but they haven't made them in years and I'm on my last ones.

My big problem is I need flat glasses so they stick a bit more.

I recommend try before you buy.

Thanks man, great idea. I'm gonna start looking for some used Catapults. Are there any current goggles you've tried and liked?

I had a pair of Canopys for a little a season or two. They kind of worked but they didn't fit in my full face snowmobile helmet and when I didn't have a helmet it would push on the sides.

But I do have a wide, flat face hence why I like Oakley.

I usually go to the shop once the new stuff comes out for the season but I've been out of the states and haven't tried anything new. I recall a Oakley rep claiming they were coming out with a new OTG goggle last season.

Like I said above I have stigma which means i need flatter glasses which needs more room, hence why I went to the catapults. I haven't seen any catapults (new or used) anywhere other than ebay.

I would recommend you take what ever you rock on the mountain (helmet or beanie), and go into a shop and try a bunch of different goggles to see what works for you.

What works for one person may not works for the next.

Personally I would love to find a OTG with a polarized and low light lens.
 
I just got my mom the Smith IOX for OTG. They aren't technically listed as OTG goggles on line, but have cutouts in the foam and fit great. Plus you have all the lens options. I'd go that route.

None of those fit over my glasses due to the pads in them. Just saying. Those are large goggles, not technically OTG.

They all have the foam cutouts on the side, so yes they are "OTG". I've fitted tons of people with glasses into those goggles. But as always you have to try them on first, because they dont work with everybody.
