Checking to see if there is anything new for prescription riding glasses / googles.

Don't know if this is what you call new...
I've been eye balling this web site for 8 month's...
Click motorcycles in the tool bar, drool, then get out your check book!

A must for us myopic visually challenged spectacle searchers for the right "look."

If you wear a helmet as I do, tried a thing called a vista shield. Its a sm visor w/ a eye/ nose shield attached. Lets the wind in your face & protects eyes & nose. Looks cool too! Some one said it looks like Darth Vador? The best thing IS your prescription glasses will fit nicely unger it. Was like $14 & has replacable lenses in 3-4 colors. All I have used in astr 4 yrs! @ $`14- you cant lose . I think you will love it!

If price is an issue you can always get the Emgo Over Glasses goggles . Price on them is like 30$ plus shipping . If you want the goods if I were you I'd go for Nanninis or Aviator . If they don't jive you can check out Wiley-X . They make ballistic plastic perscription lenses and are very well made .

Hey JJ,
After wearing Goggles, I can NOT go back to wearing just sunglasses.
The wind is just too much and vision suffers. Must be the same for eyeglass wearers. If you must wear eyeglasses then get a pair Goggles that go over your glasses.

I've had both the reasonably priced Airfoils and the more expensive Aviators. I also have a pair of the old fashioned and clunky Halcyon goggles too. They only go over a smaller pair of sunglasses (or eyeglasses) though.
I swear by the Aviators. They have replaceable lenses. The Airfoils tend to scratch badly and you can't replace the lens on em.

I wear nothing but Wiley-X prescription riding glasses.
They are far superior to anything else on the market I have found.
The military even issues them to our troops!

Many styles are available.
I wear these most of the time.
These have removable foam eye filters and the straps are also quickly removable as well. Yes, their wrap around lenses are available in prescriptions and bifocals too.
Transitional (light sensitive) lenses are also available so 1 pair can serve all light conditions. They're what I wear.

I wear contact lenses and started wearing Wiley-Xs with the shield of my full face helmet open.
Then I found a pair of Victory-branded glasses, almost identical to the Wileys, at half the price, around $30. They came with clear, smoke and yellow lenses. I don't leave home without them.

I bought a pair of RayBan and put on polarizesd prescription lenses (my insurance covers the bulk of the cost

)... I use them both when riding my bike and my car...

Has anyone tried the Aviator prescription[with inserts]? Concerned with the fit of the inserts.
