Can't remember where I bought our goggles for the wife and I, but they're similar. Only difference is we got clear and dark lenses you can change out for about the same price. Nice to have even if you don't plan on doing any night riding, because you just never know. During the day if it's dark clouds and raining, clear lenses are better than dark. I think for the same price you could get both.
IMO with these goggles, you get what you pay for, even more so than regular sunglasses for the 20/20 crowd. The most common failure for me has been the foam around the inside edge becoming separated. Usually just a re-glue takes care of it. Another problem with goggles is pressure on the bridge of the nose from the goggles pushing your eyeglasses into your skin. That's the biggest reason for me to go to a faceshield, or around town I'll wear the sunglasses over prescription type.

I'm not sure if thet are the same thing but we used to wear something similar on the flight deck of the carrier. The rubber made a lot of people break out like crazy.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Here's a look at the Scorpion Over the Glasses Goggles option. I have a set on order and it'll be interesting to see if the anti-fog works.

Please let me know how well they work and how they fit over your glasses.
Thanks

I'll be happy to eport back when I get them. Bifocals seem to provide an extra hurdle when it comes to protective wear and I'm still searching for the "just right" set up. These are meant fo the straps to go over the helmet and that was a major deciding factor; now if they just work when I get them...

Got the Scorpion goggles today, they fit over my glasses (standard roundish bookkeeper style specs) just fine without putting undue burden on the bridge of my nose and not too much room left over; bigger glasses might not fit inside. I'll do a test ride tomorrow and report back.

Just back from a quick 40 mile run. These goggles are the right stuff. They fit inside the helmet opening (Bell 3/4) and the strap runs around the outside, no slippage, no undo pressure on the bridge of the nose and the ventilation is pretty good. On the downside, they do tunnel your vision a bit as the vents are around the perimeter of your field of view but grew accustomed to that very quickly. I tried the old "do they fly off at 70?" head turn bit to check for a lane change and they stayed put. Worked as well at 90 as they do at 65 (not that I'm planning on going 90 very often). I give them a
