That's great
I'm long sighted so provided I can hold them at at least arms length they're just potential shock therapy (probably needed after the price)

Well, somewhere in the blurb I heard that the image appears a metre in front of your face! Thats good for us older folks!

Thats just presbyopia, you get it when you're around 50

One issue with wearing them will be peripheral vision and the lack of it. I wore similar goggles sealed as these are, and peripheral vision was shocking so I stopped using them?

LOL! I go so fast the only ones I have to watch are the ones I am catching!!!! At least, thats how I ski anyhow.

I have actually never noticed this as an issue when skiing, or when sailing with my Tradie-cheap safety goggles, but I really only need the googles sailing on the very windy speed days with the sand blowing and that means there is usually very little traffic!
