Protective basketball goggles - No luck so far :(

LaHug · April 19, 2013, 12:28:05 AM

I've had no luck in finding them anywhere and am hesitant to purchase online. I have the all clear to go back to playing this weekend but I don't want to play without protection.

Does anyone know anywhere in Melbourne I can buy protective goggles?!

Bunnings have them for $4

or maybe something like this

Although, knowing how injury prone you are, you might need something like this instead

but dont worry it comes in green as well

Haha, thanks tabs. The firsts ones aren't anti-fog so I could see them becoming a problem very quickly on the court. Second ones could be ok but it depends on whether or not they block my peripherals.
Cheers :)

anti-fog?? You need to play court time to require anti-fog ;)

I both called and went to Bunnings but they weren't appropriate (they didn't even have the second ones at any of my nearby stores. Going to try a few more places today but running out of time...
