Default Goggles for riders wearing prescription glasses

Maybe this has been covered before but I'm looking for ideas on a good quality goggle to fit over my glasses without having to take out a second mortgage on my house. I also don't wart to look like I'm about 90 yrs. old. (No offence to any seasoned riders)

Have you thought about a pair of RX riding glasses?

I get prescription goggles. Brand is Liberty, and I have a polarized pair for daytime riding, and clear for night. They have removable (ventilated) cups, and when not riding make a fine pair of prescription sunglasses.

I'm in the same boat as UltraRider. With summer coming, I'm not sure if I want to wear a helmet but if I do, I'm taking my face shield off and I need some "over my glasses" protection. Most of what I've seen, looks like something from a WW2 fighter pilots.

Cocoons eye wear. Designed to fit over prescription eyewear, without breaking the bank. $50 a pair. Find a dealer location (Bass Pro Shops carries them) and check em out. They come in different sizes to accommodate your prescription eye glasses.

Something wrong with that?

John Doe make a great pair of goggles that come with a removable insert you can mount prescription lenses on.

The set costs around 100 bucks but you get a clear, yellow and smoke lens, the rx insert, a strap and normal arms as well.

Try SportRX. Good selection of prescription riding glasses and goggles at reasonable prices.
