Those of you who wear googles when riding; Like the WW1 aviators wore.

What kind do y’all have?
Are you happy with them?
If you had to replace them, would you buy the same kind again, or a different kind? (style, different features, etc…)
What should I look for/at if I want to get some?

I’ve been wearing the work “bug-eye” style glasses (mirrored and clear) forever because I like the way they keep all the air off my eyes when riding.
But, not being a “spring chicken” anymore,  I had to break down and get tri-focals!
Had them for about a month and, yeah, kinda getting used to them.
They do have the “magnetic, clip-on” polarized sunglasses, which I like. But as I cruise down the road I feel puffs of air blowing at my eyes, which is a pet-peeve of mine (hence the reason I wore the bug-eye style glasses).

Before I got laser eye correction I used goggles from Guard Dogs Eyewear. Really nice ones that fit well over my glasses.  They are specifically designed to go over glasses too so no leaks etc.

I too hate puffs of air in my eyes, it usually means a small bug is going to get puffed in there at least once a ride...

No goggles, as I wear glasses.

But I got riding glasses that wrap around better than average (but full tight wrap-arounds cannot have my corrective lenses made for them).  These are sold as tactical combat specs.

This was the most curve I could still get my prescription to fit in.  They come with both a band and legs, and while the band fits tighter to the head, the strap interfered with my helmet (half) (kept pushing the band down on my ears, uncomfortably).  Also the rubber/plastic gasket on the inside dries out and comes off after awhile.

I ordered them on line, walked them into Lenscrafters (spendy), and had polycarbinate, polarized lenses made while I waited (single distance vision, not bi/tri focals).





The super tight fit can have the drawback of fogging up (like full face helmets).

I was digging through the clearance dump at my Local HD a while back and I found A nice pair of HD combination sunglasses and reading  glasses.  I belive they call them  Bifocal Riding goggles or similar.

They are perfect. Overpriced at retail,  I thought at 50% off they were still overpriced, but they were a very good quality and came with a hardcase, so I splurged...lol

They are Perfect. No more  changing glasses to read!

I use the padded bifocal motorcycle glasses that I got on Amazon.com

I have two pair, dark smoked which I wear during the day, and a pair of the yellow "Night" glasses that I wear at night.

I don’t think I ever wore googles riding or otherwise

I'm the wrong one to reply, my wife used them. What I'll call full face, they wrap around past the eyes, so that she can ride wearing her seeing glasses. I would almost call them skying googles. They are currently stored in the trailer off sit.

But since she started wearing a full face modular helmet with a visor, she hasn't used them in years.

Until you mentioned you needed to cover your tri-focal glasses, I was gong to mention I use safety glasses, black, which are close to the face, so no direct air/dirt can get behind
