Goggles Suggestions
This may seem like a no brainer, but I haven't had a lot of luck finding satisfactory riding goggles. On sunny days, my prescription sunglasses do just fine and, generally, my regular glasses are fine for night time. What I need, though, is something good for the rain. Something that won't fog up and that keeps the rain out of my eyes.
The best would be something I can wear over my glasses, but I can switch to contacts if necessary.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Non prescription- I would look at the Bobster Blackjack Click Here to see them. This frame fits small-medium size people. This is an anti-fog pair as well.
Roadmaster is another one of our best sellers. Click Here It's a transitional lens. It changes with light conditions. It's also an anti-fog pair.
If you have any questions on any of our products, please don't hesitate to call me directly at 877-897-5630 x 103

Bugz googles. Double lensed to resist fogging. You can find them at Aerostich. I've had a pair for years.

As far as fogging. I've only had a problem one time in a real cold rain when I was running a fever. As an anti fog agent in diving I've always used spit (real spit) but I know of several folks that swear by Cat Crap. (a product you buy, not real cat poop)

Thanks for all the responses.
I decided to run around yesterday and see what the local shops had. The Yamaha dealer had off-road type goggles by Scott that would fit the bill, but kind of goofy looking on a road bike. $50. Another "discount" place had the same goggles for $65. These were "OTG" - or Over the Glasses and fit fine, even over my sunglasses.
The Honda dealer had nothing.
I was reluctant to go to the Harley dealer, thinking whatever they had would be expensive. Happily, they had a cheap pair of over the glasses goggles. $25. They fit nicely over my regular spectacles, but I don't think they'd be comfortable with my sunglasses. I think that's OK because if it's sunny I'll just wear the sunglasses. I expect these cheap goggles (which have no brand name on them, and I immediately tossed the tags) will scratch easily, but I'll see how they do over the next few weeks and try to give a report.

I originally bought these for riding my Deuce but liked the feel so much I now wear them with my Street Glide. You'd probably need your contacts though. When I wear my one contact (only need for 1 eye) the goggles keep out all air that might irritate the lens. They come in tinted, clear and yellow. They are always on ebay and come in a few different styles. This bookmark is a style that I have never purchased.

Was looking for some prescription goggles myself back several months ago. needed script with bifocals..Looked at a company in missouri that was at a HOG rally last year.. Wanted about 500 for my script. I found some couple months ago on a site called Rx-saftey out of Middlesex NJ. they've got the foam that seals around the face, my script and transition lenses for under 200.00.. Wiley X Gravity, Black ops, matte finish. Excellent glasses....Have ridden several hundred miles and not once have i gotten the first piece of sand or dirt in my eyes...
Which is important to me because I've only got one good one anyway..
