Default Wiley X goggles

Wonderingif anyone rides wearing Wiley X goggles as eye protection. I just purchased a set of Wiley X CQC goggles and I really hope they keep the wind out....my eyes water too much with every set of riding glasses I have ever tried. Can anyone give me thier opinion on these goggles? I wont be able to form my own opinion for a couple more months. Thank you very much.

I havewind sensitive dry eyes ... they seem to dry out very easy. I purchased a set ofWiley-X glasses w/ the transitional lens and they were life savers for my eyes -- made my rides much more enjoyable; so if the glasses were able to work for me I'd assume that your goggles would work well for you.

Another happy WileyX customer. Just bought a pair of the light adjusting with removeable padded eye cup. Had a pair of Panoptx and like the WileyX's far more. Much better in keeping the wind out.

I had the same problem with my Streetglide, I could not keep the wind out of my eyes. Short windshield seems to direct the wind right at my eye level. The best cure I found was a taller windshield, Now wind is not a problem.

I was issued a set of SG-1's just before heading to Iraq back in 05. Been wearing them when riding ever since. I bought replacement lenses on Ebay for a song. Elastic went out on the strap. I spent 73 cents at the local fabric store and sewed a new one on in 5 minutes. If the frames ever give out I will buy a new pair. I really like these.
