Or just wear a helmet . Best of both worlds...get eye protection...and you get to protect your fat head

I have one of those cheap gmax helmets that include the built in "pull down" shield. Even with that pulled down, the bugs fly under the shield and bonk me in the eyes. I've said this before but those helmets suck

I agree, can't get far without them. I wear safety glasses, either smoke or clear.

Re:It's your eyes Dude!! 6 Years, 6 Months ago  
Back in the late 70s a friend I was riding with got killed because of no eye protection. He was riding behind me and we went thru a swarm of gnats. I was wearing shades and he was not, I looked in my mirror and he was gone. I turned around and I found he and his bike off the side of the road, he was dead. We both were not wearing helmets either. I think if he were wearing one he may be alive today. I believe he got blinded by the gnats and lost control. It was a real bummer to say the least.

Re:It's your eyes Dude!! 6 Years, 6 Months ago  
I recently came from riding sport bikes. I always wear a full face. Guess I don't see what the point of a 1/2 helmet is when you rip your jaw off but whatever, aint my head. Some of the things I've felt hit the side of my helmet or right on the chin would almost wreck you or kill you so I'm just gonna keep on looking dorky and wearing my full face helmet

I can think of something I do all the time that might make me go blind. If I do go blind it won't be because I went rideing without protection.... fer my eyes.

Eye protection and a lid for me. I need to spot all the crazy cell phone texters and talkers.
