Advice on goggles over glasses and under 3/4 helmet
I don't want to put up with my prescription glasses bobbling on my face because of the intruding wind. Please recommend goggles that you use and like--those that do not smash the glasses into your face and ride well under a helmet. My helmet has the traditional pull-down plastic shield, but the wind always gets behind it causing my glasses to flutter at speed.
I need goggles that will fit with my face shield down--if such a thing is available. Perhaps not.
Any other advise is welcome. I am not going to buy prescription goggles. Thank you.

Good pair of wraps. Many brands out there. Good fitting glasses will not flutter as you describe. Some have side shields which help and they are often magnetic and removable. Down side... Cost a bit. I think mine were 500.00 or so. Progressive precription and darkening lenses.

I fought this battle for years, and ended up getting one of those Shark Modulars where the chin bar rotates all the way around to the back of the helmet.
At low speeds, ride in open 3/4 mode. Riding faster I flip down the slightly tinted clear shield, if it is sunny, I slide down the sun visor. When really going fast, in cold or rainy weather I rotate down the chin protector. One helmet for everything. No need for goggles.

Liberty frame. Drivewear changeable tint lenses. I was just told they were 700.00 because they are progressives (think bifocals). 500.00 for single vision (think regular young people's prescription). Magnetic removable side shields. I can turn my head to the side at 70 mph and those stay glued and that's with a half with no shield and no safety cord on the frame. Fit is everything. Spend the money up front. You get what you pay for.

I solved my problem with Wiley-X prescription glasses. They wrap to your face, have removable gaskets and straps if you need to use them. You can get them with light adjusting lenses so they are good for day or night and they'll fit under all helmets. I love them. Have three pair.
