New Safety Goggle Retainers!

We’re big on safety goggles whenever we juggle nowadays. The only problem is that they fit loosely around our ears. We’re always pushing them back up on our noses.

So, Sena got a couple of eyewear retainers for our safety goggles. They were only a dollar a piece. I was a doubtful at first that they’d work, mainly because they don’t fit snug on the back of the head. It turns out they work best by snugging up around your ears.

You have to push pretty hard to get them on the goggle frame. The stitching holds up well, though.

They’re called “floating” eyewear retainers, I think because they’re made of neoprene foam and will float on water—great for boaters and water sports.

They’ll probably mostly eliminate the chance of the goggles falling off our heads when we drop the balls—which is often.

Juggling with New Safety Goggles

I got new safety goggles the other day. They’re to protect me when I juggle. They’re made by Sattron and Sena got them on Amazon at a good price for 3 pairs. They fit over my eyeglasses. These were my old eyeglasses, which I’ve since replaced with brand new ones. I’m still a little nervous about wearing the goggles over those.

The goggles come with a cleaning cloth and the bows are adjustable. They adjust at the temples up and down through 15 degrees (up, intermediate, and down). It’s hard to move them. You have to really crank them. I don’t think they make that much difference. The length adjustment is a little quirky. You pull them out or push them back in. It’s a ratchet setting adjustment. The soft silicone nose pads will leave smudges on your glasses.

They’re anti-fog, anti-UV, but unfortunately not anti-drop. On the other hand, when a juggling ball drops on my head, I’ll be protected because they’re impact resistant.
