Wiley X makes cool stuff. You just pop out the clear lenses and put in the dark and Vice Versa. the backof the frames are foam lined and keep the wind out pretty well. They look like regular sunglasses or you can remove the arms and put the elastic strap on the back. Either way, alot better than the big huge ugly goggles.

Wiley X SG-1 Vcut work for me. Clear in the morning and tinted during the day. Tried sunglasses but with a short windshield on the SG it was hard to see. The glasses would move around in the wind.

Having to make allowances for prescription glasses is the pits. I've now worn rx glasses for about 12-15 years... and it made a huge impact upon my dirt riding. Before I didn't have to concern myself with whether or not a pair of goggles would fit over my rx glasses. Now I do. Fortunately, I only need them in low light situations (evening/night/early AM). Thus, in the daylight I have been wearing tinted safety glasses while doing my H-D thing.

However, this won't work once some road trips start happening for there WILL be times we'll have to do some low-light/night miles (to get to our room or whatever). I have got to make a decision betweenover the glasses goggles (again), or to bite the bullet and get some rx goggles.

Thanks to all that have supplied info in this thread.

I use the $12-$15 Hot Optix goggles for mostly cold weather riding 60° & lower. They're cheap & do the job. Never thought about cool, though I do like to see. [sm=nerd.gif]

Goggles work great. When I started back ridin I bought a pair from Wallyworld, Scott goggles and they were fine tillI got my new perscription glasses, Liberty wraparounds. What ever works for you. Cool dont mean crap when something goes in your eye at 60 MPH. OUCH!!!!!!

To hell with what anyone else thinks or likes, wear what serves you best and what you like.
