I have two pair of those $13 glasses, one clear and one dark. I love them. I also was surprised at the price, that's why I bought 2. The only thing is they hurt my ears when I wear them with my 3/4 helmet. They keep my eyes dry just fine.

OK, not to be a doubting thomas, but I searched the HD website and not only could i not find a $15 pair of sunglasses. (Cheapest were $18) None of the 'cheaper ones' had the foam insert.

So, could one of you guys who seem to know what the OP is talking about please provide a link or part number. Ipaid $70 for my HD glasses with the foam insert. These did have interchangeable lenses, so maybe that raises the price. They were also ANSI certified, and maybe the cheapos are not. But, i would still be willing to try them.

I don't see them offered online. I found them at the dealer. They had 2 entire racks of them with black lenses, metallic lenses, and clear. They came with or without foam around the lenses and were priced at $13.95. You may need to check out your local HD shop.

Nothing but a full face shield will keep your eyes dry in the rain. Said before-Fog is the biggest issue with extra moisture int he air and heat from the body. Takes a lot of airflow to keep that from happening. I haven't found apair of glasses that worked in te rain or heavy moisture enviroment.

I just bought the clear goggles for 13 bucks and they dont say Hd on them but were bought at Harley Davidson Naples. Maybe thats what he ment when he said he bought a pair of HD goggles.

For a serious rain storm nothing beats a really good pair of SCUBA goggles . . .
Ya may look kinda funny . . . but at least you can see the folks in their cages starring at you!
