Glasses or Goggles?

[Hilts]

I wear regular glasses for short runs around town but for longer I switch to glasses with the foam. Really helps keep the wind and dust out.

Bobster Goggles. You can convert them to glasses. They also have different coloured changable lenses that are easy to swap out and the also have the foam around the edges.

I have these...........High Definition Motorcycle Sunglasses By Freebird Custom Motorcycles



I paid like $11 bucks. The website is selling them for $25. I'd probably pay that.

I have pair of RX polarized Wileys need to get one more with no tint.

+1 on the Bobster RoadHog II. I like the foam surrounds and the interchangeable lenses, although I have not yet used the yellow or the light tint lenses - just the clear and dark tint.

I second the motion for the foam-backed glasses. I got a pair of tinted and another of clear at my Kaw dealer for $20 each. Only problem is in cleaning them with the foam (not removeable on these). Better (more expensive) glasses will allow you to remove the foam for ease of cleaning. I recommend those. Any glasses without that backing can allow debris to come right around the windshield and right into your eye.

+1 on the Willey-X. Mine are prescription progressive bifocals (yeh, I'm that old), with the Drivewear tint. Love 'em. Removed the foam because behind the windscreen I really don't need them.

I think I'll get a pair of the same without the tinting for night use.

By the way, they are also ANSI Z87.2 safety glasses. Cool....

Regular glasses will have you crying, unable to see, and with bug guts in your eyes over 30mph unless you have a full dresser. I got some really nice foam backed goggles from wally world in a prescription setup. Wileys don't fit my face and I have plenty of ballistic stuff for the sandbox, not very ideal for the bike though because I'm blind as a bat without a thick prescription.

i mostly wear glasses with foam, but when it gets cold i wear goggles, b/c the colder air makes my eyes tear............

I wear prescription lenses, so last summer I bought a pair that were like a cross between goggles and glasses. They were light framed, but had a strap and the foam. I freakin' hated them. Not only did they fog every time I even slowed down a bit - yes, I used fog sprays and cloths - but I could feel my eyelashes hitting the lenses. When it was warm out, the sweat would build up under the foam and also get on my nerves. To my surprise, the eyeglass place took them back after two months and gave me a different pair. The new pair was also by RecSpecs, and is called "The Biker". They wrap around close to my face, but not touching, so I get enough air to keep them clear, and no more strap so I can pull them down my nose a bit when I need a little extra air under there. They'd look better with dark lenses, but I am really happy with these.

Bobster Cruiser goggles here. Anti-fog coated, foam lined, black rimmed, only $14 bucks; smoked lenses, clear or amber. They're perfectly satisfactory and inexpensive. [shrugs] Here:
