I really like the look of these goggles. Does anybody here have any expereince with them?

Do they work wearing them over the helmet? How is the field of view? Are they just for looks or are they functional?

Thanks, Matt

:You can buy a nice HJC helmet with a flip up face schield for less than that

Or 25 quid (whats that in dollars?) for a set of oakley O frames like those I just bought today! They work a treat and last me about five years fairly constant use a pair.

A good pair of Oakleys would certainly suit you better.

Lately I have been doing all my riding at lunch time since I've gotten busy as hell at work. I guess I can't complain the first part of this year was the slowest I've ever seen it.

I'm definitely looking forward to rideing with you though, I want to see how the 11.5 to 1 904 with the D&D's runs.

I wish I could use the glasses/goggles but I have yet to find a pair that will seal out the wind on my mellon. I rode for many years with just sunglasses but now my eyes tear up like crazy . Yeah, these thing are pricy but my wife said she wanted to buy me a nice set of goggles so what the hell.

I don't know about the streetfighter but I have used the Nannini Cruiser model for two years now with good results. Mine fit fine over the helmet, leather is holding up well, lens holders for you presription, no tears, and a good field of view. My only surprise was in the bright sun because I use clear lenses for the scrip and the goggle. Found that a short visor worked for me.

Thanks for the info. I have a couple of concerns with these goggles. From what I understand alot of goggles won't seal at the temples with modern helmets. Another problem with newer helmets is that the opening is smaller than older 3/4 helmets and will force some goggles down too far on the bridge of your nose. Last but not least is peripheral vision, it's nice to be able to see whats coming at you from the side.
