Night Ryding Glasses

**donnellpj** · 04-10-2013, 10:03 AM

Good day!

I was thinking about a clear ballistics quality lense, like range glasses, but would like to know what others are wearing for eye protection when they ryde at night.

( If your'e wearing a full face all the time, I get it )

Thanks --Pete

I just found this place yesterday and the bifocal options caught my eye. I ordered a pair should have it tomorrow. There are all kinds, yellow for night time, HD etc. I don't know anything about this place but it was worth a check out. I have 2 others on wish list so if this one works out will get more.

Got the Bobsters Road Hogs on the way! Looked like a good option, and I like the versatility of swapping the lenses and adding the head strap if I want it.

Thanks all, great input!

I like yellow at night and on heavy overcast days. The frame choice if whatever fits your face and wallet best.

the Harley dealer near me was having a sale so I picked a pair of yellow tinted for day riding and a pair of clear ballistic style for night riding

Mine won't be prescription, but I know they can be custom made with prescription lenses, as well as bi-focal, I believe.

I'll let you know fit and quality, but there were many reviews that rated them pretty well.

Come to Alaska. It does not get dark during the summer when most people care to ride.

And when it is dark, having glasses on is the last thing you will need to worry about. Where do I plug in my suit!

We do get both ends of the spectrum here--for sure.

I just got the pair of the smoke bifocal sunglasses from bikershades.com and I'm liking it so far, look a feel good and the 2.00 lens is exactly what I needed. I have not gone out on a ride with it yet but so far so good.

I use 2.00 reading glasses only, not really a big deal don't have to have it when I ride or drive but nice to be able to read smaller text on the display or iPhone when riding.

The fit is good, wraps around head I don't feel the need for google type strap.

Just ordered a pair of prescription safety glasses from Sears Optical. They have Transitions lenses so they will double as riding sunglasses. Looking forward to them.

Wiley mellow yellow does the trick at night. Wiley sunglasses day. Best comfort level that I have experienced. No helmet required Florida.

Hey guys this is what I wear http://www.7eye.com/Taku-Glossy-Black/. These glasses are excellent for keeping the wind to a very minimum. I have the Photochromatic for riding on rainy cloudy days. Going to order the Polarized pair for the hot sunny days.

**Smokinspyder** · 04-12-2013, 08:19 PM

I rock the split jackets from Oakley with the motorcycle attachments and replacement lens

**KCPete** · 04-12-2013, 08:24 PM

I go back and forth between prescription glasses and contacts...and found these last summer. http://www.drivewearlens.com

When I've got the contacts in, I just love them! When wearing the glasses, usually get by with the flip-down sun shield in my Nolan helmet, and the clear face shield depending on just what the temperature is.
Nice thing about the DriveWear glasses is that they're polarized AND photo-chromatic. Plus, they work inside vehicles with tinted glass, where Transitions won't. They don't get as dark as Transition lenses, but there's always trade-offs, I guess.

Have had Revision without Rx
Have had Oakley Goggles no Rx.
Have had Oakley Glasses Rx
Have worn Bobster at night a couple of times.

All clear lenses at night, never took a direct hit to any but believe all of their ANSI claims.

I wear Oakley Transition drivewear Rx daily now although I dont have a ride i do shoot,
