Default Wiley X Blink Glasses/Goggles

Well I stopped by my eye doc today to pick up an extra pair of contacts and what did he have in the display case... A pair of the Wiley X Blink glasses. I tried them on and really like the fit.. Nice and snug with the patented removable foam seal and they come with the elastic strap like goggles! I wanted transition lenses for both day and night use and he only had the sunglasses version. So I had him order me a pair with the TA lenses and using my second pair benefits on my vision insurance they only cost me $11.00... You can't beat that with a stick...lol... Should be in the first of next week so I'll let y'all know if this fixes my shaking glasses problem. I think with the shrug fit and elastic strap they should stay put nicely! Right now I either ride with a pair of Oakleys or some generic riding glasses I picked up at the local HD dealer.

Those look nice. I ride with Wiley-X SG-1 goggles at night or in th rain, and I am very pleased with them.

So no fogging issues in the rain?

Don't have them yet to let you know about that, but I can tell you I'm not much on riding on the rain. They are part of their "Climate control" series and have a removable foam gasket with vents. I guess you could remove the gasket if they started to fog but I would put my full face helmet on if it was raining very hard.

I use the same glasses. Love them! They do fog a little when sitting in traffic in the rain. Start moving and they clear up immediately.

Wiley-x are great glasses and Sportsman's Guide seem to always have a few models on closeout.

Got mine for precisely the same reasons. They work perfectly. I wear AirRage's, wife wears Blink's. Snug-up the elastic strap and no shaking at all.

I use the Wiley-X SG-1 for prescription. I just got a new pair with the Transitions XtraActive and wow, they get dark in the sun. So I now have a great pair of glasses that I can wear night or day with no wind at all on my eyes.

Maybe I'm the only one, but Wiley-X's didn't work...gave me worse vision with FF lid as they made vision blurry (i.e. fish-bowl effect). At first I couldn't figure out why, but switched back/forth between older prescription shades and the Wiley-X frames were too curved and flexible to a point where they caused the distortion. Ended up going back to Liberty Sports and no more problems. And...NO, I'm not a Liberty Sport sales rep...just a glasses wearer since 1974 and found some to work well with my head, helmet & bike riding hobby.
