My brother-in-law is in the same position of trying to find some goggles that will fit over his glasses without looking like a giant grasshopper . So any suggestions or links would be greatly appreciated here as well .
Kind regards, Wizzard

Are you wondering about motocross goggles, or smaller ones that you can comfortably wear with a tiny little beanie/half helmet?
If the former, I use a pair of ESS Carrier Flight Deck Ballistic Goggles. They are Mil-Spec rated (can take a shotgun blast at 20' without shattering), but you can also get Scott goggles at your local shop.
If the latter, then you have several options - ESS, Wiley, and Oakley all make shatterproof goggles that are the same size as a decent pair of sunglasses. They can also be ordered with or without prescription lenses in them.
Be prepared to pay big bucks though, and if your prescription is too far from 20/20, they may not be able to fit your prescription in the frames due to lense curvature issues.

When I used to have to wear goggles over glasses (extended-wear contacts changed my life, seriously. Check 'em out.) I found Scotts model 87 to be the only ones that would fit and seal against my face. It was also in off-road helmets. I wear a fullface on the street so goggles ain't a factor. Smith goggles never fit my face right and always leaked air and dust.
I still use these in my off-road helmet, even without wearing glasses anymore.....
