- I would like to put in a word of warning on the goggles with a fan inside.
- The fan can do some serious damage to your face during certain "face plant"
- style falls. This has not happened to me or anyone I know directly, but a
- "friend of a friend" cut a nice strip of skin off the front of his nose
- this way. I am not familiar with the different fan designs, but recommend
- that users give some thought to what might happen in some falls. Of course
- glasses might cause just as much damage.
-
- I have no association with any goggle manufacturers, and deliberately
- avoided mentioning any manufacturers by name.
