Monique Y. Herman said:Today's ride reminded me that I really need to get some other eye protection -- my sunglasses are
extremely dark, so I'm continuously faced with the choice of no eye protection or no visibility.
Problem is, most eyewear I've seen for sale is built for big, manly faces. Then there are the
children's lines, which are too small for me.
Ideally, I'm looking for frames that allow me to swap out different lenses for different
conditions, but even a well-fitted frame with yellow or light orange lenses would be a huge help.
Anyone have any models they can recommend?
(As a sizing guideline, the giro nine.9 ski helmet fits me perfectly in size small.)
Following a recent windfall in cash and a desire for a funky pair of goggles to wear, I got hold of
a pair of the WileyX SG-1 goggles. Interchangeable lenses, and look reasonable on my rather small
face. (I usually wear Oakley Square Wires, and even they are a bit wide for me).
Downside to the Wiley SG-1 is that the cost is quite high (>$100), and if you're outside of the US
you'll have a cow of a time getting hold of them. Customer response wasn't that great, either. (I
ordered from them, paid, and then was told that they wouldn't ship outside of the US for "security
reasons", which meant that I lost about £7 in currency exchange fees).
On the upside, they're cool and I love wearing them. Oh, and they can swap between being goggles and
being sunglasses if you fancy it. And they're military grade hardware, if you want to sound cool.
