RX goggle help: Habervision, Pro-vue, ?

I'm pulling my freaking hair out trying to make a decision. I'm tired of OTG's pushing my glasses onto my nose and moving the glasses around. I have decided to get some RX goggles with the fan. I can't decide between the Pro-Vue Smith turbo fans or the Habervison Eliminators with insert. I have done all kinds of searches here and read good things about both. Has anybody tried both? If so, which fan system seemed to work better? I seems the Pro-Vue fan may get covered up by the helmet. I like the idea of being able to put the Haber insert in other goggles but worry about the insert vibratting too much inside the goggle, which doesn't seem like an issue with the Pro-Vue's. Anybody experience this? If I go with the Haber's which model would vent the best with RX inserts? I've read here that glasses require more interior volume in the goggle to vent better, I assume its the same with inserts. With this in mind it seems the Pro-Vue system would require less space. These are the things that are keeping me awake lately. If I missed any other consierations let me know. Thanks in advance for the help.
 
Im sure this wont help you but what about contacts?? I wear glasses but when i ride i wear contacts with no problems! I could never even think of wearing my glasses...
 
Hi Tactrat

We are Habervision dealers. I can tell you that with the Habervision inserts in Habervision goggles those things don`t move. The inserts have a telescoping center post so you can adjust the fit to fit most other goggles as well. Here is a link to a post I did about the inserts:

Me too!! If you ride hard and get stuck work up a sweat, Nothing worked for me except contacts. The pro vues helped but after the new modern soft contacts, no need to try anything else. I'm sold on them.
 
Trax 2, would the MXT Snow be the best goggle option from Haber concering venting with inserts and fit in an MX helmet?

Contacts and Lasik are not an option for me.

Thanks for the comments so far, keep them coming. Has anyone ever thought of mounting two Haber Eliminators in a pair of goggles? Wonder if it would even be possible.
 
Hi Tactrat

Here is a link to a product review of the Ouzo's with an eliminator by a gentleman who wears glasses. Their is also a pic of him with his Ouzo's in an MX helmet so you get an idea of the fit.

Here is a pic of me in the Haber Riva's with an MX helmet:

We have also put the Highlines, Prima's and MXT's all in MX helmets. The thing you have to keep in mind is that each MX manufacturer has a bit different cut on the opening so all goggles will fit differently.

The great thing about Haber is that if you are not happy with the fit they will fully refund your money in the first 10 days. Or they will do a product exchange in the first 30 days. You just need to give them a call to get a refund authorization number. They also will work with you they understand that if you buy a goggle in July for sledding you may not actually use it until November.

The only venting that you really need to worry about with an eliminator is to keep the top edge of the goggle clear. The eliminator will create the air flow and vent out the top. The eliminator runs along the top edge of your goggle so it would not be feasible to put 2 in.

If you choose to go the insert route, after you receive it you take it to your optometrist to be fitted with your prescription. We recommend that you take both the insert and goggle to your optometrist so they can fit the two together properly (it has to do with getting the right geometry between the two). Their is a big long technical reason on the Haber website..lol!

Anyways as far as OTG goggles Haber does recommend the Ouzo's. That being said though our oldest son wears glasses and fits them into his Highlines just fine. The Highlines and Prima's are both the same fit and finish. He also has an eliminator in his Highlines. It really depends on the size of your glasses frame and goggle frame.

As far as different goggles you need to consider a few things first do you want a flash? This is the mirror finish you see on the outside of the goggles and it makes the lenses a bit darker. You can get the flash on all the polarized lenses. The Ouzo's specifically do come both with a flash and without a flash option. The other thing you will need to consider is if you want the optical orange or vermillion lens color. The vermillion is an excellent choice for low light days. It also will not tint the rhodopsins in the back of your eye thereby preserving your night vision if you get caught out after dark. The optical orange is what I ride with, this color is awesome in bright light as well as low light conditions.
