Just wanted some input on over-the-glasses-goggles or if you spent $300 or more on rx riding glasses?

 

I had dark prescription lenses put in a pair of Oakley's. Best money I've ever spent. I hate the over the glasses goggles.

 

I wear a pair of Guard Dogs "Scriptor 1". I have tried a few different types and keep going back to these. They feel good and fit well with my helmet and over my glasses, vision is good, and the lenses change out from clear to shaded. They run about $35.00 and have a good waranty. I took mine back to the dealer and got a new pair because the foam started to break down after about 18 months.

Terry,

If ya don't mind me asking, how did you go about putting the lenses in the Oakley's and what was the cost?
Thanks

 

I have a pair of prescription Wiley-X goggles. They are the same as the military uses. I paid around $350.00. They have removable gaskets so you can use them as sunglasses and come with a strap that can be used with or without the side pieces. They are also transitions, so I can use them at night. I can ride as fast and as long as I want without one tear and they don't fog up. I highly recommend them.

 

I got prescription lenses put in a pair of Rec Spec Biker frames they cost about $200 and have transition lenses. So they are great for both night and day riding.

 

I found an Eye place that sold sunglasses too. They put the lenses in for me. Cost around $225.00.

 

Thanks Terry.

 

My solution was to get disposable contact lenses. I wear them (usually) only when I go for a ride then I can wear any kind of sunglasses that I want. Especially on a long trip, if I were to wear my prescription sunglasses, I worry constantly about losing or damaging them, cause I really depend on them. This way if I lose or damage my regular sunglasses, I can buy another pair just about anywhere.

 

I bought my prescription goggles from Wayne Optical in York, Pa.
