Default Eye protection day and night.

Wear an open facehelmet most of the time unless going on a long trip. Have been wearing Wiley X Airborne with the foam around the eyes. They're ok but stuff still gets in my eyes. I was wondering what other high quality, impact resistant, with more foam is out there?

Also looking for a night time option...

Get yourself a pair of global vision eliminator goggles off of ebay for around 13 bucks. I have used them with my 1/2 helmet for the past 5 years and they are hard to beat for the price. I get a new pair about every 8 months. For 13 bucks you cant really beat that. If you find the right seller you can get them even cheaper on the bay. I think I paid about 8 bucks last year when I bought 2 sets, one with mirrored lenses and one with clear lenses.

I recently bought a pair of the transition lens goggles from my local Harley shop. I figure I could of found them a little cheaper online/different brand but I like to try stuff on before buying them. I have been very happy with them so far. I was out on some back roads sunday, a lot of sunny, then shaded roads, they worked very well. They were $60 but I think it was worth it.

Do you guys know of any higher quality googles that are impact rated, anti fog, and scratch resistant?

Had wiley x sg-1 but did not get a complete seal. Bought a pair of wiley x airrage for small to med fit. Complete seal now.

Those look really good. Wonder if a small pair of prescriptions would fit under those?

Check out Nannini Goggles.Rx inserts available,Padded Leather seal all around the face.About a hundred bucks. Impact resistance means the lenses will be Polycarbonate,which will scratch. I use Decot shooting glasses,as I only wear half helmets,no seal,never had anything get in my eyes in 47 years. About 120 bucks with no Rx.Maybe 50 different lense colors/shades.
