I bought a pair of the 30 dollar MoCo sunglasses that have the foam to keep my eyes from drying out with my contacts. The foam on these glasses, however, has compressed (I guess that is what you'd call it). So, they're allowing air through and my eyes are getting really dry when I ride. My bike is my daily driver for the most part, so I need to be able to see when I ride.

I'm looking for opinions from people with contacts that have used a type of goggles/sunglasses that work well and don't let the air dry out my contacts. I'm not looking to spend over $100 or so unless the overall reaction points toward a pair of more expensive eyewear. Any help or advice you can give is appreciated!

 

I use a set of cheap wrap around sunglasses. If they have a solid nose piece and wrap around your eyes I find that my contacts are just fine. When I wear glasses I have a pair of Guard Dog goggles that I got at the dealer for about 40 bucks with smoke and clear lenses that fit over my glasses and they work great.

 

I have tried the foam lined glasses and found that a regular pair of wrap around safety glasses worked just as well if not better (much like the previous poster).

I got to have some of them ugly goggles lol, I was checking them out last night, as well as the crotch cooler. It actually has a good purpose.

 

as i've gotten older I started wearing glasses to read small print. didn't want to spend the $$$ on rx goggles cause i tend to lose things.(i'm gonna use the age excuse again) now i buy wraparound rx bifocal safety glasses for less than $10 a pair. Now i can see my odometer again along with the menu at the bar without pulling out my readers, and best of all i haven't lost em yet...

 

Bookmarked...just might have to get some

 

Oakley's....hands down. I have worn the jackets, half jackets, and m-series. All good at keeping the airflow off of the contacts. Been riding and wearing contacts a long time.

Oakley's are higher priced, but you definitely get what you pay for.

Tried the foam lined ones and ended up throwing away as all they do is allow airflow in.

I have two pair that I ride with...one set polarized dark ice and the other set clear for night time.

 

I have the same.. Half Jacket..
