i wear prescription ray bans-2 pair, regular clear lens and "driver" sunglass lens. I had the same issue while riding at night with a .5 helmet. I decuided to invest in a Shoei 3/4 helmet, the J-Cruise. It has a big clear shield that is longer than most. it really helps! however, when in town in the heat, I keep the shield up and have to deal with the wind. I am thinking of buying over-the-glasses goggles that baca1969

MAN! Ain't that the truth!! I accidentally bought a Street Glide a while back and got spoiled. Not sure if I'm getting old, or just spend WAY too much time on my bikes not to have all the toys, but what ever it was, I love windshields now!

I keep buying baggers now.

+1 on the windshield. I have an SG & wear scripts and always wore a 3/4 helmet because of the eyeglass thing. This spring, just for the hell of it, I rode without a helmet and was pleasantly surprised at the lack of wind I got behind my glasses. Now a wear Akkoury half shell and love it.

So yeah, get an ugly old windshield on that thing and you'll be good to go with your half helmet and regular glasses!

My sunglasses do ok because they wrap further around my eyes but my regular glasses are killing me.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Clear prescription goggles.
