Riding goggles for those who wear glasses

I have 3/4 open face helmet and I wear glasses. So I got some Airfoil goggles that fit over my specs. I couldn't tell the difference until I hit 40+mph.

The goggles totally kept wind and dust off of my eyes. Kept the sweat out too.

What happened when you hit 40 mph? :shock:

Well, when I just wear my glasses it feels ok until I start going around 40. Then I feel the wind start getting underneath my specs.

The air goggles blocked all of that out. I went around 50 today and the goggles felt great. I was a little scared that they will slip off the back of my helmet though.

I like the Dick Dastardly look!

Been wearing goggles over my glasses for years. It's a good practice...keeps the wind out, yes, but also dust, bugs and rocks from that gravel truck in front of you....
