Goggles or Air Sealed Glasses (with 1/2 helmet)

[SpyderHands]

Did try them all back many years ago and after all the trials and tribulations ended up with the modular helmet. I know they have come a long way with glasses and gogles so you would have to try them yourself. Had contacts and dry eye as well but with a modular and a pair of wrap sunglasses I could ryde open/3/4 when slow and around town and closed/full face when windy and freeways. As I see it you will have to try for yourself cause we are all a bit different...:dontknow:

Thanks for the post. Truly, everyone is different, just surveying those who have experience with goggles in conjunction with WEARING CONTACT LENSES AND/OR EYEGLASSES. I have a pair of wrap sunglasses that do OK, but for night driving and driving beyond "in town" - I'm exploring the "goggle" possibility.

Both Scott and Smith make ski goggles to fit over glasses. (Or not) They work great to keep wind out of the eyes. BUT---- it might be hard to find a ski shop in central Florida. Kaos

Thanks for the memo. We do have a few ski shops here in the sun scorch state. Do you wear contact lenses or eyeglasses with your goggles?

There are a few companies that provide specific use glasses/goggles, I happen to us SportRX, and prefer Wiley X frames. The can also provide prescription lense's and have an optometrist on the premise when they are open. If you go to their website, you can see their full line of frames and the services they offer, and are willing to make suggestions according to your needs. I've been using them for almost 30 years now and can say that they stand behind what they sell.

Indeed!!! :agree:

These are the ones I have. They won't work with my day to day glasses but work well with my sun glasses.

No--- don't wear either when I ski---- but I do ski fast. GPS clocked ( Skitrax app) at over 56 MPH nojoke. I know that both companies make goggles to wear over glasses.

Crowded ski runs cause---------------Kaos

Air sealed glasses.

These work pretty well with my half helmet...

Well folks, I decided on the "100% Accuri" goggles.

They are really nice and come packaged with the gold lens and the clear as well.

Hoping they end up being the answer to the need as much as I'm anticipating.

A half helmet is nothing more than an imitation, pretend, no protection ridiculous excuse for imaginary head protection.

Wow! Tell us how you really feel! What does this have to do with goggles anyway? Every time I read a comment like this, I wonder about the person offering it... :chill:

I personally prefer full face (modular) protection, but fully support every individual's choice for head protection, or lack thereof. Despite your opinion, DOT certified does mean that there is some level of protection added by wearing a DOT certified helmet. That being said, I really encourage eye protection regardless of helmet choice and thank the OP for starting the discussion. I certainly have learned quite a bit if I choose to go with a half or 3/4 helmet in the future. :2thumbs:

I understand. Just curious if there are nay specific brands and models that seem to offer the best workmanship and functionality for sealing out the air, yet not fogging up, etc. !?!

I thought I replied to this question once already but don't see it now.

Given the heat and humidity in Florida, I think you do NOT want something that is completely sealed as sweat around your eyes will eventually work it's way down INTO your eyes. Something vented would be much better, I think.

Edit: I see it's too late now.
Please let us know how this works out.

Personally, I use Oakley Minute 2.0's because they wrap tight without sealing. I wear these most of the time with contacts. I also have a pair of prescription Oakley's that I forget the model of but are similar. Those have transitions also.

I do wear a modular helmet, but have the visor up a lot for slower riding under 35ish...

I wear both bicycle riding and working in the yard frequently when windy... like today. Rarely do I have any wind issues.
