Goggles

[skull6]

I wear prescription sunglasses when riding in the sun and my regular glasses for nights or rain.
I was thinking of prescription goggles for nights and rain especially rain. I have a shield for my half helmet but it gets scatched easy and fogs up.
I was thinking a good pair of goggles with good antifog would be better.
Has anyone ever ordered perscription goggles online and how did they work out and where did you get them?

this year at americade I ordered snug sunglasses ansi frames and the foam pieces to block wind out made to my prescription  progressive bifocals

still waiting for them to arrive   When they come in I will post a review

I got them in copper lenses as that makes things brighter to my old eyes and I can wear em still in the rain.  Dont ride at nite cause I just plain dont see well at nite

Cant wear goggles with a full face helmet

I also have the over the glasses sunglasses in dark and yellow  they were less than 20 bucks each and block all wind

I think getting a decent fit between big goggles and a helmet is problematic.  And so is the goggle strap, either over your helmet or under it.

Most goggles will also limit your peripheral vision.

I have a pair of Wiley X SG-1 glasses, with my script  (distance vision only, not bi/tri focal, I don't read the paper while riding) made from polycarbinate and polarized.  They have the foam eye cups, and wrap around lenses have good peripheral vision.  They come with regular glasses legs, but they can be snapped off and an elastic band substituted.   Certain stronger eye prescriptions cannot  be ground into wraparound lenses because the views to the side are blurry, so you have to find out if your script can be put into them (or others like them).  Buy the cheapest pair you can find, cause the lenses that come in them are going in the trash.

May want to check with your eye doc about Oakley. they make quite a few obtions for goggles. Some of them have to be able to be made perscription , or accept perscription inserts

I couldn't agree more with the Wiley X SG-1's.  I was a 50cal/Mk19 HMMWV gunner in Iraq for about a year and wore them every day, so I've put them through their paces.  I ordered prescription tinted and clear lenses and they have been incredible.  The frame is set up to accept a variety of lenses as well as standard arms or an elastic strap.

They don't fog, are extremely scratch resistant, and are designed to stop shrapnel...so junebugs at 75mph aren't any big deal.  I still use them all the time and love the option to swap out the lenses for non-prescription when I feel like wearing my contacts.  They work great under a full helmet, used as goggles with my half helmet, on the lawn mower, splitting wood, fishing...the list goes on. 

That was 6 years ago, but I remember the Wiley-X's being cheaper than almost any other option with any kind of impact resistance.  They beat the prescription Oakley M-frames I was considering hands down and can seal against your eyes if needed.

I just sold a great pair of Wiley X prescription goggles (with the light sensitive lenses) to a fellow on my old Road Star forum recently.
I bought them directly from Wiley X. It was very hard to get my prescription lenses into the SG-1 frames but they finally did. I think it was the thickness.
The goggles were good but I learned that I am just not a goggle guy so They rode in my saddle bag for a few years so I sold them.
I went back to regular prescription sunglasses for day riding.
I highly recommend Wiley X.
I almost forgot, My first pair were stolen out of my saddle bag and I bought the same frame with insurance monies from Wiley X again.

I like Wiley goggle, I also used them when gunning in Iraq. If your not moving they will fog up, but on a bike that shouldn't be. Problem.
