what's a good mid-range priced goggle where the lenses don't scratch too easily, has antifog and is glasses friendly.
-
To be honest I think you'll have trouble fiiting those eyeballs into any of the current goggles. ;D
-
there is a SCOTT brand and OAKLEY that make a glass's friendly goggle,hubby prefers the SCOTT 8)

I've been using Oakley L Frames for the past 5 years. Great goggles, comfortable, glasses friendly, highly scratch resistant and reasonably priced. Brilliant value, get a pair you'll be happy you did.

was only talking with Brent J about this a day or so ago. The conclusion was it's best to take your helmet and your glasses and try for a fit before you buy. Some goggles fit over the glasses okay but they don't fit the helmets properly and cause a poor seal around the face. Others touch the actual glasses which is another major no no. Also the most expensive is not always the best fit but whatever brand make sure replacement lenses are available before you buy. As for regular goggles I use Smith SME Moto Series ;)

I like my Scott 89s. They must be about 10 years old now, but still work well.
The missus has Oakleys (I think they're called O-frames??? About $60 a pair), and they don't fit my face as well as the Scotts. But the new foam makes it obvious that my Scotts are getting on.

For glasses i have been told that Pro Grip are the go.Im not sure if they have a specific goggle for glasses or they are just coke bottle friendly.
-
I prefer the Scott 89's to the new shaped high voltage Scotts, they fit in my helmet much better. Just bought another couple of pairs before they stop making that model.

Oakley Crowbar- I picked them because they dont let dust in, are very comfitable, fit in the helmet well, dont squeeze your nose so it feels like you have a blocked nose, have a small roost protector for you nose, different coloured lenses (blue for dust, yellow for contrast, dark grey for bright Brissie sunshine and clear for when you stuff up and everyone can see the whites of your eyes).

Totally personal preference, but Fox are the only goggles I've worn that haven't made it hard for me to breathe out of my obviously fat nose............ :D
