Does anyone know where I can find goggles that fit over eyeglasses? I've never worn contacts, and I'd like to get a pair of goggles to go with a half helmet I wear on neighborhood riding.

Thanks

Panthermark I use these - only with a very dark tinted reflective lens. High quality - no issues. I'll even wear with my full face helmet (visor removed)- gives me better airflow in the warm months. JCW

UVEX makes some cool goggles, plus UVEX also is real good about being shatter-proof. I took a large rock to mine about two weeks ago. It webbed the glass but didn't shatter. Scared the hell out of me though. Look for splinter-proof as well.

Panther,

I have a set very similar to these:

Dennis Kirk Goggles

The ones that I have do not allow for eyeglasses, but these are similar in price and appearance. There are good if you like that Red Baron look.

Thanks for the responses.....

What a site I'm going to be with my goggles and a Tangerine and Opal bike!

Try your US BMW site, there are some great Messerschmitt type goggs ,but I've got to say, try a open face witha decent drop down visor , like the Arai SZ , which stops the airborn debris of gravel , earth , and insectoid lifeforms , impacting on your face.

When is your test/course coming up?

All the best

I've got a pair of Halcyon WWII (style) googles which gives me that nastalgic look when out on the Thruxton. They are of exceptional quality (UK made) with clear (replaceable) glass lense.

I am able to comfortably wear my sunglasses beneath and when the light levels drop, I can simple just wear the goolges. They make them in a range of colours so you may be able to match them to your bike. When not in use, I sit them atop my 3/4 face helmet.

My course in not until September. I'm leaving work early tomorrow to go get my permit.
