Default Decent Goggles ???

Looking for some decent goggles, I have a so called "good" pair that arent very good. I get the eye watering wind at about 60 mph and just gets worse after that. All I can seem to find are the cheap'ees, I would rather spend a few $$$ to be comfortable for long rides with a heavy wind load.

Whos got a good pair (goggles that is..) and where did you get'em and any links would be greaaaat..........Planning all my spring summer trips now, and dont want to deal with the last minute crap before the ride............Half helmet stuff....

Lenny, looks like the set I have. I got them from the Harley dealer. Mine also have the pieces to turn them into regular sun glasses. I really like them.

I use Wiley-X SG-1 glasses/goggles. They're awesome. No eye watering at any speed, and they're comfortable.

Cheers!

Panoptx speed series in my opinion are the best out there. I have three pair and I love them, I have the Wiley-X also and they are good but don't come close to the Panoptx. You can get some awesome deals on e-bay. They are pricey otherwise.

For me it was the opposite. I started with Panoptx, and they sucked, so I switched to the Wileys.

I'm a contact wearer, and I live and die by Panoptx. I'm a big fan of their glasses but I hate the price. Therefore, I started buying there closeouts. The same product at a reduced price. Here is the link Panoptx Closeouts

I've never had a problem with their product and when I did, they were quick to fix. I really like the Gust Lite pair and if you go to your local Harley shop, they may have them there for 180 bucks.

You gotta make sure you are buying a motorcycle pair of glasses and not a skiing pair.

For me, I'm a Panoptx wearer all the way.
