... for a glasses wearer. Don't want anything too spendy as I won't be using them much, just while I'm out in Canada (Whislter).

Cheers folks.

Bolle Blast ventilated foam model, code no. 13-70007 from buckandhickman.com for under a tenner inc. vat. Got pretty big glasses and they still fit over easily.Comfy too.You can spend a lot more on something similar with an MTB type name tag.

I got some Oakley ones for 10 quid in some sale. They're fine, they do the trick but I wore sunglasses under my helmet in Whistler last year so don't feel you HAVE to get goggles.

not Oakleys - the worst goggles ever for steaming up (unless you buy the mega expensive double glasing lenses.)

Mine have been fine so far. I have some strange green anti-fog stuff I got years ago so that might be why.

another vote for oakley, use them for mx, skiing, and dh, not once had a problem with them steaming up. You can pick the o-frames up nice and cheap on ebay if you want something reasonably priced. I've used both o-frames an crowbars both great goggles.

You want Oakley L-Frames as they are designed to be worn over glasses, you'll pick some up for around £25.

Been using Oakleys for years with no steaming up issues.

I wore just glasses under me helmet last year but ended up getting quite alot of dust in my eyes so though I might try some goggles this year.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll have a look around.
