Sunglasses? Do You Wear Them?

Loafer · 06-13-2012, 06:43 AM

BikerOrNot has these sunglasses listed. Anyone have them or tried them?
They are so inexpensive, there has to be something not right with them.

Some of the reviews don't seem real. Nice price though.

**ringadingh** · 06-13-2012, 09:02 AM

I use safety sun glasses, theyre provided for us at work and fit great,

**cnc** · 06-13-2012, 09:40 AM

I bought some sunglasses supposedly made for bikes. The lenses are lighter at the bottom than the top and have a bifocal part at the bottom. Great for us old guys who can't see the gps clearly with out glasses.

Generally get what you pay for.

I wear a $10 pair of clip on sun glasses from Walmart.
I'm waiting for Gmax to come out with a full face helmet with an internal sun visor.
They have one for there modular helmet but modulars are to freakin heavy for me.

If a dealer near you has them try the new Scorpion Modular it is nice I looked it up it is about 8 oz heavier than the gmax non visor The Nolan n104 http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motor...t/nolan-n-104/ weighs in a little less 3 lb 13 oz. adding the drop down sun visor will add some weight these are more expensive than the gmax but if they come out with a drop down visor the price will go up on them also

I have a $10 pair of motorcycle glasses that I bought from a local leather place. I also went and bought some the Paul Jr Design motorcycle glasses (The cheaper ones, not the pair he wears) for $30. I like the way the look and function, but the ear pieces squeeze my head too much and give me a headache. I have a rather large head though (my wife tells me that too

), so they may not be as bad on some people.

Tim, look at the Nolan N-43. It is light, has the internal viser etc, etc.

**Top Cat** · 06-13-2012, 03:57 PM

I'm lookin for a full face with the drop down sun shield.
The Nolan is a modular of sorts. It has a face guard that is removable, not a fan of that.
I also want a helmet that fastens with D-Rings.
The only helmet that I have found so far that has what I am lookin for is a schuberth S2, but it is $699.

Ive bought from Highdeserts on ebay . great product at a great price.

**schoeney** · 06-20-2012, 11:37 PM

Lowe's and Home Depot have safety sunglasses. I bought some oversized ones that give good "wraparound" protection. Range from $20-30

cactusjack · 06-20-2012, 11:54 PM

When I was on my way to Crescent City last year, my first night I was in the LA area, I rode to dinner and it was almost dark when I came out. I realized I forgot to bring my night riding glasses. Assuming no motorcycle shops are open at 8:00 on a Saturday night, I went to Lowe's and bought a pair of clear 3M safety glasses.
