My buddy got into a pretty bad wreck the other day, he broke both his legs and his nose, I'm not sure how much worse it would've been without a helmet but I can only imagine it would have been a lot worse. As far as I'm concerned, I'll never ride without one

I'd like to know this as well. I've thought about trying it before but 99% of the time I wear a fullface. I kind of like some of the 3/4 retro or fullface designs but want to wear goggles with them. Something like the biltwell gringo.

Thanks for posting this thread. I just remembered in the depths of winter I bought the military ESS Advancer V12 Desert Goggle System. It comes with interchangeable clear, tinted and yellow lenses which are in their own boxes which sit in their own The strap even has the a slide over cover to protect them when not in use. I just have to find where Mrs Taipan has tidied them away to. I could be gone for some time...

Man, those advancer V12's look sweet. They may be my next purchase.

As for the prescription glasses, I wear contacts most of the time, so I haven't tried them out over glasses, but the ones I bought say that you can wear glasses under them.

Back when my Lady was riding she was a fan of 3/4 helmets and she loved the Pacific Coast airfoil goggles; they fit over her glasses well. If you're wearing some overly large eyeglass frames these might not fit but this was the best solution we found for her:
Pacific Coast goggles Pacific Coast goggles



Depending on what helmet I'm wearing I'll use goggles, there's way too much air flow around sunglasses. I've got multiple sets of the Bobster Bugeye goggles in clear, smoke, and mirrored. Pro tip: I've cut the straps on all my goggles and removed the strap adjusting buckles. Test fit the goggles and determine proper fitment for your head and sew the straps. You'll never have to worry about the buckle mashing in to your brain box under the helmet...
