Default Contacts or Glasses?

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!

I wear glasses, tinted and regular. I have a full face helmet. I also have some goggles with my 1/2 hemet and sometimes I use just the glasses behind my windshield around town.

Half helmet, contacts, sunglasses. At night goggles. I always carry a little squirt bottle of that "blink clean" contact rewetting solution on my bike in the tour pak.

up until a few months ago- it was contacts/sunglasses for me.

the 'contact thing' got old and i really dont like the possibility of losing a contact, dry eyes, etc... so, i ordered up a pair of Panoptx prescription glasses with the transitioning day/night lenses.

they were about $300 but WELL worth it... i wish i had gotten them years ago.

contacts and the HD profile goggles w/day-night lenses. I love em. No need to switch from clear to tinted.

Full face helmet with contacts. Need to get sunglasses. The glare is really starting to get to me. I have never needed sunglasses before. I guess it is age.

I wear my regular prescription glasses which darken in the sun with my ACC half helmet.

In heavy rain, I switch to yellow prescription googles.
