does everyone wear a helmet when out driving their 7's these days, or do people wear glasses?
understandably a helmet does give extra protection, but i dont want to wear one all the time... i want to feel the wind through my hair
ive got some expensive oakley glasses, but im a bit worried about the wind getting under them, and flipping them off my face, and onto the road behind
me
so ive been looking for things like this:
from this shop: http://www.uksportseyewear.co.uk/product.php/40/polarized-low-profile-ski-goggles-sunglasses
they are polycarbonate, so shouldnt shatter on impact, and come with 3 different colour lens. also with the head strap they shouldnt come off your
head unexpectedly.
does anyone have any experience of these combined glasses/goggles? it even says on the description people have been wearing them for driving kitcars
How much for these things
I got some snazzy saftey specs from Cromwell for 1.99 a pair from their specials bin.
even at a fiver they are locost enough to trash
some other things

ive just been looking at getting something like the above, i found www.eyewear2gogo.co.uk had a good range and the prices are fantastic (£15 ish).
Their postage is expensive but i was going to get a few styles and also get some for a biking friend so delivery is shared.
Still not sure which to get tho.

Fit a windscreen horrrorsssss![]()
I bought soem Indian Motorcyle night glasses from ebay for about £12. they are fab and can wear them at night unlike shades.
they are a yellow ting lense but they dnt come across all ali G lol, absolutley brilliant
I have got a pair of Oakley X-Metal Juliets, they are designed for sport. Even at 100 mph+ they stay fimly in place.
Not cheap, but a quality bit of kit & well worth the money.
Description
I have glasses from specsavers
Cant see without them.
I wear skydiving goggles, they are tried and tested up to about 140 mph.
also only cost around £15 per set
I wear a pair of them, but I just use the glasses arms and not the elastic band. They do the job perfectly and look cool too
got em from:
http://www.uksportseyewear.co.uk/product.php/38/teps-basic
What I like about them is that they allow some air into the lens without it being turbulent.

Screwfix makita safety glasses, stay well planted at speed, and cheap
i used dewalt safety shades, cheap and cheerful.
Anyone know of anything like that I could get a lens ground into? I'm supposed to wear glasses for driving but I'm not looking like a proper geek wearing 2 pairs!
ninehigh dixons do a set of their TEPS type with an insert that they will fit prescription lenses into
My wife is looking to get a pair of these at the next show.
I looked at those at a show - the insert looks a bit weird, and far too small, but when I tried on a pair I found that I was always looking through
the frame of the insert, so they would certainly do the job.
If you give them your prescription they'll make and fit the lenses - apparently they are also an optician/prescription place. Don't
under-estimate the cost though...
