I have been trying everything the last couple years to find something that would work over my existing prescription glasses when riding with my half helm. Nothing really worked keeping the wind from wearing out my eyes once i was at 65+ mph. My last bike had a windscreen but the new FXDX does not so was even more pronounced now. I really didn't want to spend $250.00-$300.00 on a pair of glasses just to ride. (I know, I know..but I have 2 kids in college )

Friend of mine, who is a big fisherman, told me to check out Cocoons made by Live Eye Wear. He said they were made for fishermen and their high speed bass boats (his is like 70+ mph,) He said worked great for him why wouldn't they work on a motorcycle?

I went to Pro Bass Shop a few days ago and picked up a pair, at $39.95 + tax I figured was worth a shot.

They work ab-so-lute-ly great!

Polarized, UV 400 rated, flex frames to let you shape them to your head. Actually look pretty good!

Ran the bike up to 95 mph and the wind might want to rip me off my bike but my eyes were just fine!

On a 1-10 rating I will give them a 9 1/2 (nothins perfect ) but I could not be happier with them.

I've got a Wide Glide with windshield and wear stock prescription glasses without any problem except when it is raining, then I get light water spashes till the gasses get too wet. I wear an AeroVest and it is great for everything except the rain. I'm going to get a pair of the cocoons for when it rains. Thanks corwdog the link and your info made up my mind---jack

 

You did good thats just what I have been looking for. I am getting me a new pair of glasses in about a week they come with the clip on sun shades(magnet) and I will get a pair of these. I lost the sun shade to the glasses in August when we went to Sturgis going through Wyoming hit a cross wind and it blew them right off my glasses I was not fast enough to catch them I am sure some car behing me ran over them. I found one of there dealers links that has free shipping. Thanks again for the link.

 

Which dealer has free shipping? TIA, Art
