Default Watery eyes

I am wearing some HD goggles and they are not doing their job. At around 40 mps and above my eyes are tearing up really bad. I wear contacts so it really is bothersome. Can anyone give me some ideas of which glasses or goggles I should go with. Thanks fellas.

I ride with Gargoyles Classics sunglasses, and have no problem with tearing.

I use the "Best Motorcycle Glasses" from our sponsor page. Great glasses, cheap, and work fine with my contacts. I ride both with and without a windshield.

Buy a couple pairs!!!

I wear contacts too and I bought a pair of sunglasses at the dealer that work pretty well. They were $20.00 and have foam around the lenses to block the wind. I have a tinted pair for day ridding and a yellow lensed pair for night. I don't have the name of them right now but they were the only ones that cost $20.00!

BSG body specs. Around 60 bucks. work good with the regular earpieces, work relly good with the elastic strap. Three sets of lenses. I've had them for about a year. Good results with them.

I wear contacts also. You are going to have to try a bunch of goggles on and pick the best fitting pair. Go to a bike shop that has a lot of cheap goggles and start trying them on. Pick the pair that feels like it best fits the contours of your face, especially around the bridge of your nose. You can't really take a recommendation for a specific product from someone else on this one...they probably won't fit as close as they should.

People may not realize how irritating wind is to contact wearers, so what seems like a good google to them may or may not work for you.

Go cheap. I'm on my second pair of $20 specials. They get scratched up, but I don't really care.

Try going to a business that sells construction saftey equipment, they have clear, tinted, different colored large lenses on saftey glasses, now, the industry is ito style , to get guys to wear them, so, they are pretty good looking glasses now, i've got clear and yellow glasses that have large lenses that come down on the cheek so that particals of ? can't get under and up into the eyes. I've got one tinted pair [light smoke] that you can ride in the late evening with.

I wear the blue tinted safety glasses in the daytime and clear at night. I never have a problem tearing up and they are industrial approved
