Default Early EVO era Easy Riders

In the 80s sometime I bought a pair of prescription goggles form an ad in the back of an Easy Riders magazine. The company was in New York and I think it was an Italian name, like Mangiorre or something.
Does anyone here have a stack of these mags from the mid eighties (+ or - a few) that might be able to see if they could find the ad and give me the info? Perhaps your Sherlock Holmes skills are better than mine.

Googling 'italian motorcycle goggles' I came across Nannini. If they don't have what you have in mind, there may be no hope! I used Italian goggles for many years, but don't recall the brand. There was a British brand, but I can't recall them either! Also look out for Held, and Bertoni. British Mark 9 goggles have an angled lens, whereas the later Italian ones have curved glass.

Thanks Graham. I need to get the prescription updated. I don't know if I ever saw what brand they are, just the company I got them from.

Can't do any better, sorry about that - visibility over the Atlantic isn't so good today!

I have OAKLEY Valve prescription glasses for riding. I have probably a dozen different types of coatings and treatments on them and they are transition lenses. They were expensive as hell but my insurance covered most of the cost. Best eye ware I have ever had for riding. I got them at Lens Crafters.

Had to tilt my head sideways like a dog on this one but then hoped they wasn't the tons of fun underwear that you may regret how you got them.
