Re:Riding Glasses 1 Year ago  
I got prescription riding glasses from Clarkson Eye care. They have a rubber pad that blocks the air around your glasses that is held on by magnets. I don't use it because I have a fairing and windshield, but I did use it when I rode my sons bike and they work nice!

Ive been wearing goggles last nearly 50 years of riding. Tried all kinds of glasses of every style. No matter what they allow wind in to my eyes. I find goggles seal good and keep my vision clear. Of course I'm wearing an open face helmet so they only make sense.
Off the bike I wear Smith wrap arounds at all times including while backpacking.


What brand goggles? Any fogging problems in humidity?

That was a stock photo - you can put any lens in them. I went with a black chrome dark sunglass

Those look nice. They work pretty good against the wind?

I have Rayban on one bike and Tifosi on the other. The Tifosi were a lot less, but seem to be better glasses.

Re:Riding Glasses 1 Year ago  
I wear Bobsters you can put prescription lenses in them also. they come with ear pieces or straps I never had a problem with fogging. I rode as cold as 35. I also rode with 40 degree with 1/2 mile visibility due to fog had no problem with fogging up just my thoughts and 2 cents.
