Default Goggles over eye glasses?

I've been having problems with my contacts and I am back wearing my glasses for a while. I was looking at some "over glasses goggles" on line.

Does anyone have something like these http://www.gogglesoverglasses.com/ or have any other suggestions?

Thanks

Smitty,

The one pair I did try (goggles over glasses) would not fit cuz my half helmet hit the top of the goggles and it just didn't work for that reason. Now maybe your half helmet will fit with them but not in my case. (Assuming you wear a helmet that is - if not then any of them will suit you I suppose).

Rx goggles from Walmart or online is your best bet.

I bought a pair of Guard Dog goggles that I use now and then.

The only thing I don't like about these is that they push my glass's up against my face a little to much due to the curvature of the goggles.

After trying several options, I have settled on the Big Ben Clear by Global Vision with my prescription transition glasses. They didn't interfere with my glasses as SciFiGuy described. They are on the link you posted for a fair price.

IMO goggles, like helmets, are something you really should try on before you purchase them. When I used to desert race I wore UVEX brand goggles. They fit over my glasses and under my FF helmet.

Unless you just have to buy them online, you should stop by a dirt bike shop and check their selection.

I've been wearing these over my glasses for a year and have no complaints.

I have several pairs of these:

I originally bought them for flying RC Airplanes but they are perfect for riding. Impact resistant and UV filtering.

I usually wear perscription transition I got from Walmart, Really like them. but I have a pair of over glasses goggles I wear on long highway trips. They keep more wind out and don't move at all, more comfortable when going 70 mph all day.
