Default Goggles over glasses?

Anyone have a suggestion for good goggles that will work over bi-focals? Mike

If you are wanting goggles because of the bi-focals, I thought about goggles to then decided on 7eye riding glasses. Sent my bi-focal Rx to them. I went with 7eye because of the frame size, all the others I tried were too big then tried different 7eye's frames and found just the right size. I tried goggles while in the Army and were always too hot. My glasses have the removeable foam air dam so they are comfortable on and off the machine and my eyes don't get to hot in the Texas heat.

I use some basic over-glasses I got at the local dealer; they come with a removable head strap. When I don't wear them, I use my 3/4 "Rock" with a flip shield.

When I was trying to figure out what to do about my rx glasses I did a quick fix that looks like *** but works... I got the goofy clear safety glasses for $5 from Lowe's.

That at least let me ride around till I figured out that I wasn't going to be happy with anything less than rx riding goggles.

I bought the Bobster convertible, had rx lenses made for it and haven't looked back.

Walmart sells fitover sunglasses that fit over the smaller frame glasses.
