Goggles having a flexible frame deformable to conform to and seal about the wearer's face and eyes. A strap secured to the goggles adjacent the temples secures the goggles to the wearer's head. A rigid frame is secured to the periphery of the flexible frame, the rigid frame having a channel adjacent the upper and lower edges of the flexible frame which is adjacent the temple area. Lenses including a peripheral flange receivable within the channel of the rigid frame are slidable within the channel to locate each lens with respect to the rigid frame. A rigid handle or grip is secured to the temple portion of the lens to close the open end of the channel and to lock the lens to the flexible frame.

Goggles with interchangeable lenses

Sports goggles are formed with anterior and posterior frame sections each having a bow spaced from each other to define a slot to provide increased ventilation of space behind lens and particularly against the rearward surface of the lens for the elimination or reduction of fogging. The anterior frame section carries the lens at a position spaced farther than normal from the wearer's face and posterior frame section carries a nosebridge and temples. These goggles may be economically manufactured by molding lightweight material into a separate posterior frame section and a separate anterior frame section, then joining the two frame sections through tab and slot assembly.
