I have a pair of Cocoons that I have had for about a year...They come in many different sizes. I bought them locally but you can see what they are like at: www.shadetreepowersports.com. Not cheap but they are optically correct and do a great job.

Saw some in J&P's catalog. I don't have it here now but they should be available on the website as well.

Well, over the last year or so, my age has finally pushed me to the point where it's just too dangerous for me to ride without corrective lenses. Wearing glasses on my bike is is just something I don't care to do, so I opted for contact lenses under my sunglasses. Best decision I could have made. I pop in the one-day jobs and toss them at the end of the day. They're pretty cheap too, at $25 for 60 lenses.

I know that didn't answer the question, but if you are able to wear contacts it's another option that's less cumbersome than wearing two pairs of glasses.

I bought some Over the Glasses thing I think called SportX from Walmart. Couldn't stand them and took them back. Tried on a pair of WileyX at a bike fest recently and will go that but I need to update my Rx first. Not a too bad of price from

The Wileys are great glasses and you can get your prescition in about ten different lens colors, UV etc:

Coccoons are nice. I've been wearing them the last couple years. Good lenses. I need bi-focals, but if I didn't, be looking at prescrip. glasses.

I need bi-focals also on a normal basis... I talked to an eye doctor than sells a ton of pres. lenses on our sister site, 1130cc.com. He says you DO NOT need bi-focals when you ride the bike. I kinda agree so I ordered a pair of Panoptx (Bora) without bi-focals.... Should be here in a couple of daze. I will post how they work.........or not.
