Goggles problem

[MrDree 0]

Here's my problem: when I put my goggles on, they fit perfectly. But once I'm in freefall they tend to go up on my forehead. I think it'is because I'm smiling and my cheeks push the goggles up. And then the wind makes it worse, so sometimes I have to put them back in place, which is a little bit annoying while freefalling...
So what do you think the problem is? What can I do? Buy different goggles? I already tried to tighten the strap, but that doesn't do much good. I can try not to smile, but I don't think that's possible! Any ideas?

I had the exact same problem. I wound up getting myself a nice pair of Gatorz sunglasses, and now the problem is no more...plus, I have a sweet looking pair of sunglasses for everyday use to boot

Get goggles that fit (FlexZ are popular), and put them on TIGHT, ie you usually can see I've been wearing a goggle for the rest of the day Also your helmet should help keep them in place, if they still float up your really need to tighten them, a LOT.

dont listen to them, they dont know what they are talking about ;). invest in a $3.00 bottle of super glue and everyday before you jump, super glue them to your face =D

Don't forget to pen the rim of the goggles just before they put em on :P

If in doubt, whip it out...

There is your problem. If they are comfy before exit, they are too loose for freefall.

The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others!
