Football
Football Glasses and Goggles | Prescription Football Eyewear
Football is intense, fast-paced, and full contact — a sport where impact protection and clear vision are essential. Whether you're a lineman, receiver, or defensive back, football glasses and football goggles offer the reliable protection you need without sacrificing fit or visibility. If you wear corrective lenses, prescription football glasses provide game-ready clarity and comfort while fitting securely under your helmet. Designed to reduce injury risk and improve performance, football eyewear keeps you focused, safe, and ready for action.
What to Look for in Football Sports Glasses or Goggles
ASTM F803 Certified Protection
Football is a full-contact sport. Look for football eyewear that meets or exceeds ASTM F803 standards — the highest level of sports impact protection.
Helmet-Compatible Frames and Goggles
Not all sports glasses fit under football helmets. Rec Specs offers low-profile, wraparound football frames designed to integrate seamlessly with chinstraps, visors, and padding. Worn by NFL Hall-of-famers and All-stars of the past and present.
- Frames: Traditional glasses feel — can be put on after the helmet through the facemask
- Goggles: Secure wrap-around fit with a headband in place of traditional temple arms — great for helmet compatibility and use with a skull cap
Shatterproof Polycarbonate Lenses
Every model we carry uses durable, high-clarity polycarbonate — built to take a hit and keep your vision clear.
Ventilation and Anti-Fog Technology
Prevent lens fogging with ventilated temples and optional anti-fog coatings, especially during cold-weather or high-exertion plays.
Prescription Football Eyewear Options
Rec Specs offers prescription options directly from the certified Rec Specs Lab, so you can stay locked in visually without compromising safety.
