Goggles Glasses Question
I am getting fed up with a blast of air right into the corners of both eyes. I am currently using a 12" recurve Clearview on my EG and am looking at other screens, Long Rider and V stream, but was wondering about goggles and or wrap around glasses. Does anyone have any thoughts? Note I have prescription glasses and wear a 3/4 helmet.

I have a pair of goggles that fit over my glasses. they work pretty good until it rains, then the fog up and you can't see.
I also have a friend that bought a pair of wrap around sun glasses that have a small perscription frame inside them. Just have a pair of lenes made and ride. He bought them at the local HD dealer. ***** G's I think. Like 30 or 40 bux. They also are foam lined.

I've got the Wiley X's as well and love them. Just do not get the auto-tinting lenses as they tend not to tint dark enough. I had a pair of the auto-tint and ended up getting a new pair with the pop out lenses with dark and clears.

You get that blast of air at corners of your eye because your RX glasses have the nose peices at the bridge. That holds the frames and lenses up. You could try another type of frame with your RX. I use Ray-Ban Wafarrer II's The plastic frame is the nose piece and doesn't allow air in. There are many frames out there, name brand and others that will take your RX. I just prefer the look and feel of the Ray-Bans. Worth looking into.

+1 on Wiley X. I have the SG-1 with pop-out lenses and adjustable elastic band. My eyes are super sensitive to wind, and these are awesome. Stylish, comfortable, and effective. I just keep the clear lenses in my bags for when I get caught past dark.

I use a pair of sunglasses that I bought from Walmart, called over casts, look a lot like coccoons, but way less $$$, I also have a set of amber glasses that I use when it gets dark.

Another vote for WileyX. There are other high quality goggles that are available with prescription lenses but if you put quality and price together it's hard to beat WileyX. The over goggles and cheap sunglasses distort vision. JMHO
