Kroops OTG (over the glasses) cycling goggles

[Akrotiri]

Does anyone know of a European online retailer that sells Kroops over the glasses tinted cycling goggles. Need those specifically because I wear prescription eyeglasses and regular cycling goggles won’t fit.

I only found the USA webpage for online ordering but I’m based in Europe and can’t seem to find any online retailer in the EU with the exception of a few in the UK. Not willing to order from the UK because of guaranteed very long delivery time because of (COVID delays, Brexit import complications) so my only option is a EU online retailer.

I’m in Greece and Amazon isn’t an option either for me so any recommendations much appreciated.

True but spring and summer is around the corner and I need protection from the non stop sunlight and bugs.

That’s my concern as well.

I own a pair of tinted Cairn OTG goggles and wear them during sunny weather. I also wear clear 100% (www.100percent.com) Accuri Tornado OTG goggles. Both brands sell in Europe.

These are from 100%. We don't get very much sunshine nowadays

I suggest you visit a local welding supply distributor for an alternative. Welders work hard, sweat, grind metal that throws sparks, wear corrective eyeglasses, and wear hardhats. I'm using uvex, but other brands may dominate the market in your country. Grade 5 tint is too strong for biking, but grade 1 or 2 may suit your taste.

I use these mainly to help in the rain to keep my glasses clean. works ok in daylight but at night it causes too many issues.

I agree about the tint level. I’m only looking for level 2-3. Anything higher would be too much.

The welder option would be good but I don’t live on mainland Greece so any welder here would have something or be able to make something that would make me look like a marble miner.

No, not heavy. I spend the whole cold season riding long distances in such goggles. You forget you wear them

Only problem is they don’t have online ordering from their webpage unless I’m not seeing the buy tab.

Edit: nvm the 100% brand does but not the accuri.

Amazon doesn’t deliver to Greece yet.
I found this retailer in Europe but they also don’t ship to Greece.

I may eventually have to take a trip to Athens after the lockdown ends to purchase in store I guess.

Akrotiri: Try Google search. I bought all goggles of mine from local online skiing stores. The best seach is for snowboarding OTG goggles. I also wear a Cairn I-BRID snowboarding helmet which is warm, protects ears and is made to fit snowboarding goggles.

I have found these OTG by accurri and there photochromic so they double as clear and darken in the sunlight. Best of both worlds but it’s an Italian online retailer that I’ve never heard of. Any experience with them?

Your right Stefan I’m going to take a chance and order from them. Their accuri which is a good brand and photochromatic so they would be useful for night and day.
