Bonneville America Forums Forums Rider Safety Forums Helmets and Gear Riding glasses suggestions

I'm looking for a good pair of riding glasses that are good at keeping the wind out, changeable lenses, polarized is a plus but not necessary.

suggestions?

Go to www.fasteddysports.com He's the man!

Well these aren't interchangeable, but seriously the best glasses I've ever ridden with. Zero air get's behind them on me.

Panoptx diablo are the ones you want according to Wendy and a few of my friends. Expensive though. I wear little round sunglasses. Panoptx

Are you cheap? (not meant as an insult)
The best way to get cheap sunglasses that work is to go to a place like Wally-World or Target, get several 'glasses that look OK, and take them to the housewares dept.
Turn on the biggest fans they have and see which ones keep the wind out of your eyes.

If you get PanOptix or Bobster or any of the others you should try them first. I use Wily-X as they fit prefect with no leaks. This is an issue with contacts. The Bobsters just did not fit right and left a gap. Gave the Panoptix to my bride. She likes 'em.

I like my Wiley X glasses,...real nice job they do, and look good too.

I have a pair of Smith "Threshold" slider sunglasses that fit your requirements and I love them. They come with three sets of lens: dark, rose and clear. Cable temples are a must for me and these have those as well for a good fit. The work great with or without the windshield.
They are not cheap, but Smith's lifetime warranty is first rate. I've broken two pairs of other Smith sunglasses and they replaced them no questions asked (breaking them was my fault in both situations).

Wiley X brick, removable gasket,straps,transition lens and made to my prescription for $200. No breeze gets by at all I would highly recommend them. I got mine from RX-safety.com delivered to my door in Canada in three days which is quicker than my local optician.

Wendy liked the Wiley X but didn't like carrying extra lenses so went to transitional lenses but still looking for some that fit her face right. It is very true that what works well for 1 person might not for the next, she wears contacts and has trouble with them at times.

Lately I have taken to wearing contacts for the longer rides as they are simply more comfortable than my standard prescription eyeglass with over RX suns.

I just use the cheapies from Walmart in the motorccycle section and they seal out the air just fine. I ride with a windscreen though and that cuts down on the breeze quite a bit.

Wiley X for the win...I had a pair of HD specs (long story) and naturally they were over priced and turned to crap within a 1000Km.

I have the Wiley X prescription Transitions.
I love em.

dude you gotta get bobsters off of ebay...$30 and they change tint with the sun, they come with a strap so you can change between sunglass fit or goggle fit, come with a case, and a little shammy and ive had them for like a year now and no problems what so ever

Like I said, if they don't fit they don't work.

Thats Wendys problem, she has a hard time finding a pair that fits her face right. I agree , if they don't fit they don't work.

i can only speak for myself obviously, but i have a large bridge on my nose, yeah its huge, so when a pair of anything fits me i feel privlaged..haha...every pair of sunglasses ive ever worn stuck off my face too far because of the bridge on my nose, like i could look down with the glasses on and see plain daylight...BUT these bobsters dont do that at all for me...the padding blocks out the wind along the bottome perfectly and ive ridden with them from 9 in the morning to 9 at night thru a huge thunderstorm for the last half hour and i didnt have a problem with fogging, or visablilty....Ian can speak for me on this cause i was following his roost that night..haha
