I wear glasses with a half helemt. I have clip on polirized shades for day riding and just the glasses for night riding. I really want to get those prescription riding glasses with the transitioning lenses.

Do You wear a full size helmet, Goggles, are those "Switch Lens Glasses" okay? I just got my contact lenses. before I was of using motocross goggles over my prescriptions, at night. And cocoons with the tint, in the sun. I just want to know what you wear if "Contact Lenses or Glasses".

Thank You For Your Time and Consideration!
Started out with glasses, moved to contacts. with glasses I had the big bug eyed googles for protection (tinted etc..) now I have a set of HD goggles.($65.00) Much nicer.

I wear Oakley A-Wires, perscription with Transition lens. Good wind/sun protection for someone that can't wear contacts.

Contacts......I have a pair of PanOptx day/night but only wear them at night cause they are not dark enough for me during the day. Cheapo sunglasses during the day and always wear a 1/2 helmet.
