Default Does anyone else's eyes water?
I love the visability and freedom of the non full-face, polo style helmet but I cannot find glasses that keep my eyes from watering like crazy. I've tried three different kinds (with the foam rubber seal around the lenses, etc.) Do I have unusually sensitive eyes? I know there needs to be some air coming in so they don't fog but once I hit 45-50 mph, it's tear city. Any suggestions? (Face shield not an option with this bucket.)[sm=boohoo.gif][sm=boohoo.gif][sm=boohoo.gif]

Mine used to with cheapo sunglasses. I picked up some Maui Jims that fit perfecto on my face and the water is gone.

Does anyone's eyes water?!! Mine do... when I watch Backdraft!! Naw seriously, mine watered at first, but I guess I just got used it. Nowadays I could ride without any eyewear if I had to. Not that I would ever choose to, but in a pinch, I could.

I bought these at the local HD dealer and love 'em....they keep me from tearing up. $75

I bought goggles to take care of that problem. Have a dark pair for day and a yellow pair for night.

Goggles were the only answer for me. Wear glasses putzing around town, not on the road. Got some Airfoils from the dealer for less than $30 and like them a lot.
