Night riding glasses

[iridenow]

There are times when I ride at night without a helmet (not here to debate the idiocy of this). I can wear my sunglasses during the day. What is a good set of glasses/goggle that have good visibility when the sun goes down?

I have been to CycleGear and seen the clear glasses that have the padding around the rim. That just seems weird to me. I assume once you get used to that, they are adequate? Any other brand/model suggested?

Yep. I'm probably over-complicating the issue. I do that. :f_spider:

There are now some night vision glasses being shown on those TV ads. Made specifically for night. Sorry, I do not have a link. They are being featured by "Bulbhead." About $20 a pair.

Exactly same thing at HF for $5.99.....

I got the Wiley X Gravity glasses with the Photochromic lenses. Use them all day and night. They have the foam gasket and a strap that turns them into goggles. Work perfect for me.

I use padded safety clear glasses or yellow at times. Clear Google's work but need to defog them at times

If I remember, the ad shows them bending and flexing the glasses. They do not say anything about shatter proof though.

My wife swears by the yellow night driving glasses she got at an auto parts store. Another pair via Amazon when those were lost. She didn't like the padding at first, but without it swirls of wind got in her eyes and made them water up. With the padding this didn't happen.

Speaking from first hand experience over years of long distance bicycle touring, the most important factor in using safety glasses after the shatterproof quality of the lenses is their optical quality. I once came upon a pair of shatterproof ones that after a half hour or so of riding actually made me sick to my stomach.

Iride, I wear a pair of yellow safety glasses that are wonderfully light (as in tint) for day and night use—they also happen to be available with readers if one needs that. Try Readers.com. And they are very affordable (read cheap . Any recommendations for service/dealer in Phoenix?
