I wear Bobster sunglassees with a goggle strap and that foam ****..I dont like them at all and I think Im going to be getting some real goggles with soft frames shortly. I find that the goggle strap does push down a little with my half helmet but its more comfortable than the thick plastic side peices that the sides of my helmet push into the tops of my ears. Ski goggles would probably work with glasses, not sure if its something you'd be willing to look into.

 

I wear glasses when i ride, i have real bad astigmatism and contact are uncomfortable. I wear a 3/4 hjc helmet with a flip down face shield. Works for me

 

Do what I do....get a helmet with a shield. It makes things easier with glasses and it does a good job killing bugs!

 

HD makes a nice shield for half helmets - $30

I went to Walmart's opticaldepartmentfor an eye exam and bought riding glasses w/foam inside liners, tinted and mirroredfor about $170.00, they work great. The Walmart near me had about 6 different pairs of glasses to choose from.

 

Recently bought a set of Airfoil goggles at the dealer's for under $30. Went with the clear and wear my sunglasses under them for day riding. Work fine with my 1/2 lid. Unbelievable optics & performance for the money.

I have Wiley X glasses/goggles also with the removable lenses. How wouldI go about getting prescription lenses for them? I am supposed to wear glasses for a slight stigmatism but I never do because the glassesI got are fugly.
Would I just take the Wiley X glasses to the eye glass place and give them the glasses and the prescription or what?

 

How well do those work with glasses? Do they still keep stuff out of your eyes?

 

Not to suggest either way, but if you wear glasses and want to wear goggles, that is no problem. I wear glasses and used to desert race. And goggles were a necessity. Both because of the rules and even more important, to keep stuff out of my eyes.

I used UVEX brand goggles. Check a dirt bike shop and they should have a selection of different brands. There should be some that can be used over your glasses.

I just bought a Scorpion Exo solid 100 half helmet that has a retractible shield. You might look at one.
