I been using Rudy Project glasses with prescription inserts and transition lenses

for years. Tons of models and styles. Great glasses.

 

+1 on the 3 for $10. That's all I ever had for the last 20 years. They seal air out and they are cheap enough to loose.

 

I've been using Wiley X for the last five or six years and I'm happy with 'em, but I'm always willing to look at other brands and keep an open mind that the others might be better. I searched on the name you gave and did quite a bit of reading at their website. They do look like great glasses, and they sound to be very high-tech in the way they make their lenses. With that in mind, I didn't even flinch at the prices. R&D is expensive to conduct and even more difficult to realize a profit from when the market is filled to capacity with folks who never even consider how much it cost a company to bring their ultra high-tech product(s) to market. So they got a pass from me on their prices.

What I can't give a pass on however, is the (apparent) fact that they can't make prescription lenses from the high-tech material. I don't think I could ever get used to wearing them like you do, with an insert clipped (or whatever) to the nose-piece or some other part of the frame. The main problem I'd have with that system is it would seem to defeat one of the more important advantages of paying almost $200 bucks for a frame with the high-tech lenses installed - that being the weight. Their lenses are advertised to be a significant percentage lighter-weight than any of the other light-weight options on the market. That would be a huge reason why I might pay that much for them, but it's a deal-breaker for me to have an insert to figure out how to wear comfortably and/or to have to keep up with so they don't get lost or broken.

To the OP, they really do look like outstanding glasses for riding, and since you haven't said if your glasses need to be prescription or not, maybe they would work great for you. They might work great for you even if you did need an insert too, it's just something I don't want to have learn how to deal with. But as for the Wiley X that many of us use, the neat thing about their business is that they can do prescription lenses in-house, and they have a very good-working process to deal with extreme convex nature that wrap-around frames require. I have one pair that I let them make my lenses for, and another pair that I let my local eye doc send out to his preferred lab. The difference is night and day. The Wiley X-done lenses have no discernible distortion in 'em at all, while the local lab pair has virtually no part of the lenses that aren't distorted either while looking straight ahead or in the peripheral areas of the lenses. I ended up saving only about $75 bucks using the local lab, but I'd have seriously paid an extra $200 bucks to have them work as well as my first Wiley X pair that their own factory produced. I've had three prescription updates since I first bought that pair, and all of 'em were produced at the Wiley X lab. The removable face-cavity seal that comes with several models in their line works perfect for keeping dust and other small debris types of material out of your eyes, as well as preventing your eyes from tearing up due to it being real cold. They're not exactly air-tight, but they keep enough air out to keep your eyes dry for the most part.

I've been riding a damned long time and worn glasses for even longer than that. I rode dirt bikes quite a lot when I was a kid/young adult. I've been a shooter since age 9 and a welder/iron-worker/sign-hanger from about 21 to 55 or so. All of those jobs/activities require specialized glasses to go along with 'em, so I've been around the block and back again with trying different kinds/styles of glasses. I can honestly say that the Wiley X ones I have for riding involved the least trial and error in getting them right, and the most problem-free hours of wearing 'em as an efficient way of accomplishing the best sight I could squeeze outta these ol' orbs out of the 50+ years I've been wearing glasses.

Hope that helps.

Any cheap riding glasses that fit right. I haven’t paid more than $20 for riding glasses I think ever! Just make sure they have uv protection. I buy them at the bigger bike rally’s every few years and usually a pair will last about 3 or 4 years before I break them or lose them. Trick is to try several till you find one that fits right.

 

I've tried all sorts of riding glasses, from super cheap safety glasses to fancy $200.00 brand name "riding" glasses, and everything in between. For me, it ALWAYS comes back to the super cheap safety glasses. I guess for my face shape, they're the right fit, because my eyes are pretty sensitive to the wind, and these things don't allow wind to get to my eyes, but do allow enough air flow behind them to keep them from fogging up in very humid and cold weather. The only situation where I find they just don't work well is heavy rain, so I do use full goggles with a little built-in fan when it rains hard enough that I have to put my rain gear on. They always stay on my face, even when I've hit 120+ mph (for testing purposes, ya know? ). I've never had a pair fly off my face, even in crazy wind storms, with cross winds blowing me into other lanes, etc... and they're confortable enough to wear on long days in the saddle (I'm talking 16+ hours)

Plus, at about a buck seventy a piece, when they wear out, or get damaged, I just pitch 'em and grab another pair. That said, they last a LONG time. One of the boxes below, is usually good for a couple of years or longer. I use the dark lenses during the day, and the yellow lenses at night. I find the yellow cuts the glare from oncoming traffic.



Cheers!

 

I have a script and wear Oakleys. They stay put and have very little air around them

 

When I decided to get more serious about riding glasses, my choice was Wiley Rx. I'm sure there are others...but these work for me..REAL well.
STRONG prescription, with bifocals. Good dark tint in direct sunlight with transition to clear for riding at night.

 

a lot of HD dealerships carry Epoch Eyewear .....excellent quality...very reasonable, I got a set of photochromatic goggles with removable channeled foam, and a really impressive case to go with them for only $50

as well, I had some troubles with the first pair I bought from them, i contacted customer service and the service rep picked up my defective glasses at their expense and sent me a new pair....it wasn't no questions asked....because they actually asked some questions, but they were super gracious about it.....great service is gold in my opinion.... I got about 20,000 miles out of that pair and just bought some new ones....when I am loyal....i am loyal....and I am a loyal Epoch Eyewear customer

here is something to consider as well, i wear both goggles as well as use a visor on my helmet....the visor is tinted and adds to the tinting on my goggles when i'm driving directly into the sun....but as well, when it's raining, if I keep my visor down, my goggles stay fairly dry under the visor....when I have goggles alone and it's raining, the wet goggles fog up and really jack with my visibility

 

Wiley X seem to work really good for me.

 

I found Liberty sunglasses at my eye doc place. On my second pair. I had these with prescription and transition lens. That way I have one pair to cover both day and night. They have provided great protection and no wind issues. I just had cataracts removed and my eye doc who did the cataracts gave me a very mild prescription so that I could have insurance cover replacement lens. I had new lens put into these glass frames in polycarbonite and transition. A bit on expensive side, but I feel they are worth it and they usually last me several years. You have options....enjoy!!
