I'm in the market for some quality goggles for those windshield-off days, and would like recommendations on what make from those that actually wear goggles. I currently use some off-brand semi-wind blocking sun glasses, but they let too much wind in, especially when going into a NV dust storm headwind. Thoughts? I'm really hoping to hear from those of ya that have goggles that you're REALLY happy with.

I like my Willey X, SG1 glasses..... they keep out most of the dust, it is also what troops are being issued for Iraq as they are balistic rated...... Willey X also makes a goggle, but have not tried it. try looking at Telescopes Microscopes Sunglasses Rifle Scopes Night Vision Binoculars Radar Guns Rangefinders Cameras & more! (optics planet) as they have some good prices.

I found some "Gogg's" at a Harley Dealership.... I've been happy with them, they are over the glass type and probably look like a scuba diver, but they sell regular goggles too and the anti fog feature seems to help some.

I bought the Panoptix "Diablo" day-night convert-a-goggle ones during Street Vibes. They were perfect for the changing conditions - bright sun, dark clouds, looming shadow of a humongous tumbleweed.. ..and with the strap tightend a tiny bit the foam goggle part really kept the dust out of my eyes, too. I don't wear glasses, but they can be Rx'd - and I may need that someday.

Taking the foam insert in & out is easy enough. Just a minor hassle on what to do with the dang thing when it isn't in - fills a shirt pocket pretty much and probably wouldn't last long in a pants pocket. And the case is far too big for regular pockets. Good to have stow space on the bike for it.

I've had a pair of Panoptx for 5 yrears. Wouldn't trade em for nothing. Even at 100mph , no wind or dust in the eyes. I have the day/night lenses and the foam eyecup can be removed so you can wear them like regular sunglasses.

I wear glasses already or I would be blind as a bat. I found a great pair of dark glasses called Fit-Overs. Yep that's right they fit over my prescription glasses. They are great and have side covers. I bought two pairs one for each bike.

I wear glasses so went with "Airfoil" over glasses goggels. The fit is great, and they are vented so they will not fog up when moving. They have tinted with that finish that looks like a mirror from the outside, and clear ones also for night. I do not like the looks of the other over glasses goggels I have seen, but do like the looks of these.

When I have the windshield on I use regular shades but I actually found a pair of goggles that I use for the days without the windshield or when its raining at Menards....cost $12 I bought clear cause I figured I wouldnt need the shades if its dark or raining... I commented before on this forum that I got my rain gear from Menards too for $14....you cant beat the price & its pretty decent stuff. Just cause the Motorcycle says "H-D" on the side dont mean ya gotta spend a Hunnerd-Dollars !!
