I have two pair of MAXX galsses. A dark lens pair and a yellow lens pair. My local indie sells them and they are damn fine glasses. 20 dollars or so. I actually bought the yellow pair online. Cant remember the sight. You might google search it. Good glasses. I've had them over two years and still going strong. But, I'm not a glasses snob like some folks.

Wow, Lot of interesting opinions on this one. I actually have used my kids goggles and they were great. But man did they look stupid.

I'll sift through the ideas you guys have pointed me to. Sure to find something that will be good.

Cheers.

Ron

+1 on the Panoptx. I got a pair that transition from day to night and like them a lot.

Try bobster goggles with the foam pad around the frame. I can't use anything else. I guess my eyes are just too sensitive to air blowing in them. I've never been able to ride with any kind of glasses.

I used the Wiley X glasses for a good while. They are good. Just a pain to either change out the lenses, or carry two pair, which is what I was doing since I found the Wiley X on sale for approx $20.

I now have the Harley glasses that transition between clear and dark depending on the lighting. Actually liked the Wiley X glasses better, but I don't have to worry about if I have my night glasses with me, when I find myself out later than anticipated.
