Default Need goggles to go over prescription eye glasses

Hi all, I have seen quite alot of good posts on the types of sun glasses and goggles you like to wear but I have a friend that just got a new ride, he has no windshield yet and HAS to wear his prescription glasses. Can you recommend any goggles that he could get that would fit over his glasses?

Thanks so much

I have their regular goggles,but saw the ones that fit over glasses at the dealer-looked good.

I have been riding without prescription for years and was finally getting ready to drop the coin on prescription glasses because I have never found a set of over-the-glasses goggles that were comfortable and/or didn't look like a freakin' scuba mask. I just received my set of Guard Dog Evaders, though, and they are great. You can measure your glasses so that they fit and they look pretty good, too. I ordered the Evaders with clear lenses and then also got a set of yellow and a set of dark lenses. I am pretty pleased and the whole set with case and a bag for the extra lenses was only about $75.

Lasik (if your buddy is nearsighted). Best money he will ever spend. Then go get a decent pair of wraparound sunglasses in tint and clear/yellow....

Consider it a 'add-on' for the scoot.

I also use the Fit-overs - they're good. Big bensis pretty good - and you can get them in more than one size...but they're googles.
