8. Yellow Motorcycle Riding Goggles: Night Vision Nighttime Riding Goggles"No Foam" Design w/Hard Case, Microfiber Cleaning Cloth & Pouch Included (Yellow Lens)

    Features:
  • ★ MADE TO LAST ★ - Our goggles conform to the shape of your face and are not made with foam edging, so they won't fall apart after just a few uses like other motorcycle goggles. We use heavy-duty polyurethane frames and scratch-resistant lenses to make our goggles strong enough to be carried in your pocket or saddlebags without suffering the normal wear and tear. Don't worry about sitting on them, crushing them in your saddlebags, or any foam ripping off after just a few rides.
  • ★ RELIABLE PROTECTION FOR YOUR EYES ★ - These outdoor riding glasses feature a curved edge that flexes to fit your facial contours in order to keep out wind, dirt, rain and bugs. We aim to keep your eyes safe and focused on the road in front of you so you can enjoy the ride and take in all the enjoyment that cruising the open road offers.
  • ★ LOOK YOUR BEST WHILE YOU RIDE and PITSTOP ★ - These sleek motorcycle goggles just cover the eyes, keeping the rest of your face exposed for a stylish look. Slotted vents allow minimal airflow to prevent your eyes from sweating and the lenses from fogging and the adjustable strap keeps that red ring from forming on your face, so you'll look great at each stop when you take the motorcycle goggles off.
  • ★ A PERFECT FIT; GUARANTEED ★ - Fully adjustable straps on these yellow lens goggles can fit everyone from children to the biggest biker men with equal ease or fit the strap around a 3/4 or FULL face helmet if you wear one. You can even insert prescription lenses (insert required - not full glasses) inside them comfortably. And the yellow lens is tinted for yours eyes to cut down on night time glare or headlights and signs - or also just to cut down on the full sun glare during the daytime.
  • ★ COMES WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR MAINTENANCE & CARE ★ - This Motorcycle Riding Goggles Kit includes a microfiber cloth for care-free cleaning, a microfiber pouch for easy storage and a protective hard side carrying case for damage-free storage.

19. Bobster T4583 Bugeye Goggles, Black Frame/Amber Lens

    Features:
  • BOBSTER BUGEYE GOGGLE: Whether riding a motorcycle, skiing, snowboarding, or free falling - one can expect superior functionality, comfort and durability from the Bobster Bugeye goggles. Specifically designed to conform to various shapes of faces, the goggle frame creates an effective seal that significantly reduces wind blasts and vibrations. The adjustable head strap provides maximum retention and security while the foam allows ultimate airflow to reduce lenses from fogging
  • THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMER FRAME: Bobster's Thermoplastic Elastomer TR90 is a lightweight material that is used to create the most comfortable, durable, eyewear frames available. The Bugeye frame is flexible and vented for optimum comfort
  • IMPACT RESISTANT UV PROTECTION: Our Polycarbonate lenses are up to 10 times more impact-resistant than plastic or glass lenses and they also provide 100% protection from the sun's harmful UV rays. They are also lightweight, adding to the comfort of your eyewear. The Bugeye is available in three different lens colors (Amber, Clear, Smoked, and Smoked Reflective)
  • OPEN CELL FOAM: This type of foam is lighter, softer and absorbs sweat. Open cell foam also provides a better seal or fit because it is softer and adapts to the contours of the face
  • OPTICALLY CORRECT LENSES: Optically correct lenses prevent headaches from extended wear of eyewear. Non-optically correct lenses cause continuous refocusing due to distortion. This places a large amount of strain on the eyes and can eventually lead to headaches, nausea and dizziness. All Bobster styles come with optically correct lenses
  • MEASURES: Frame Width - 150mm, Lens Width - 60mm, Lens Height - 45mm

u/TheNannerpus · 2 pointsr/MTB

Alright. This is gonna be really long, so feel free to only respond to certain parts or just ignore it completely.

I'm so excited because I've been looking around online at all kinds of MTB stuff for a while now and I actually feel like this is the thing I've been looking for in life to be passionate about. I can actually feel that adrenaline and those endorphins you guys talk about whenever I see a first-person video posted here, and I'm not even the one riding. I know I'm getting way ahead of myself, but I can't help but be extremely excited nonetheless.

I've watched quite a few basic to intermediate technique videos and I think I'm finally ready to give it a shot. Now I just need to decide on what kind of gear (especially the bike) to get, and that's where I definitely need your help. I'm not sure what information is helpful for this, so I'll just provide a buncha info.

My physique: Male - 20 years old - 6'3" - 175 lbs. - can competitively run a 5k - I'm more on the lean side than the muscular side.

Bike: Yeah I really have no idea what to even look for here. I saw the google doc on all the bikes and it was great to see all the options, but I haven't got a clue as to what I should get or whether or not to buy used or new. I'm definitely hoping to go on the cheaper end here as I'm just a college student (limited budget) and I'm only just now starting to ride. However, this is something I think I'd be willing to invest a solid amount of money into. Any suggestions?

Helmet: I definitely want to get a full-face helmet because I don't want to have to deal with any dental problems. I'll compromise comfort for teeth. I've read a lot of good things about this SixSixOne helmet, and it's relatively inexpensive, so I'm leaning toward that at the moment. I'd like to try it on somewhere first, and work from there. Same goes for the goggles. Although I saw a low-priced Thor pair on that same amazon page, I think I should see if they're comfortable first.

Gloves: I have no idea here. I'll probably shop around, but any starter suggestions would be much appreciated.

Any other advice about apparel such as pads or just general clothing that you like to wear while you ride would be much appreciated as well. Also, is it a good idea to get some compression shorts?

Other questions: Are there any exercises you might do specifically off the bike to help you out when you're riding? What do you bring in that backpack of yours when you go riding? What do you think is the best way to transport your bike long distances?

Also, on the off-chance that anyone knows of any good trails in the Indiana University area or the Northern Indiana/Southern Michigan area, I'd love to know about them.

Any other advice that you'd like to give would be appreciated as well.

If you've made it this far, I applaud you. Sorry for bouncing all over the place, and thank you so much for reading all this. I'm really excited to be joining this community and can't wait to get into such a cool sport.

u/potato0 · 7 pointsr/BurningMan

These cooling towels are AWESOME. They are made of a material that water soaks into, but doesn't come out of easily. This means they hold a ton of water, stay wet for ages, and don't get anything touching them wet at all (so you don't get an irritated neck like you do from wearing a wet towel). Seriously if you wet one of these and give it a squeeze, you'll be amazed by how much water comes out. They dry stiff, so make sure to fold them up neatly while they're still wet. Highly, highly recommended.

Shemaghs make great dust masks, head scarves, and hats. There is a reason these things are so popular in the desert. Lots of colors too.

These are the disposable dust masks to get. For a proper whiteout, they offer better filtration/protection than a bandana, and the valve means you can actually wear them for more than five minutes without suffocating. They come in little individually wrapped packs, which mean they're great for gifts (although I'd unwrap the ones you aren't planning to carry around as a gift at home).

Not prime, but free shipping, and if you order now they'll get here: goggles. Comes with a day and night set, inexpensive and highly recommended. These are my go-to utility goggles.

These personal misters are good. They aren't durable, so don't count on it lasting more than a year, but they're much more compact than the big garden sprayers.

If you feel the need to own a Soviet Russian spec gas mask, amazon has one for 10 bucks. Protip: that bag it comes with is the perfect size to stick a 1 gallon waterbottle (the kind with the peice of tape a handle, not the ones with the handle built into the bottle) to turn it into a canteen.

If you enjoy biking, and tend to wear boots, wide, grippy pedals are great bike upgrade. I was really suprised at the difference they made for stability and my ability to comfortably put power to the ground. I went for these ones that were on sale last year (not prime), but the shape is what matters from what I can tell, so any ones like that with the grip nubs should be good. There are cheaper ones made of plastic, but I find plastic pedals crack on the playa way too easily, and a decent set of metal ones was worth the investment.

u/edcRachel · 9 pointsr/BurningMan

Anything that has padding. I made the mistake first year of getting costume goggles like this, thinking they could be my main goggles. That was a mistake. I wore them for like 5 minutes and they were horrible. Now I only wear them on my head, for looks.

Same year, I also got these. They worked just fine, but I did lose a lens by the end of the week. It was nice that it came with both the clear and tinted, so that I could have a backup pair, as well as having a pair for day and night.

Second year I got a couple cheaper pairs like this thinking they were similar to the Red Barons. Those sucked too. The tiny bit of foam made them uncomfortable. They touched my eyes. I gave them away. At least someone else was happy to have them.

Then I got a pair like this like this (can't find the exact same ones but very similar). They were actually like... surprisingly good, even for the price. Comfy, and they feel relatively strong. They are cheap, but have lots of padding and good coverage. They have some vents (most goggles do) but I just covered them with a little tape. I ordered a bunch more on Ebay/Ali this year for like $4 to give away, they all seem to be pretty much the same thing.

You can definitely get better ones; I've been on a budget so I haven't really been able to justify spending $50 on a couple pairs of goggles. Basically any ski, snowboard, or motorcycle goggles would be fine.

Not everyone wears goggles, but I would recommend having them anyways until you know for sure if you need them. I personally wouldn't spend too much on them, just make sure they have padding, and I would get one clear pair and one tinted pair (day and night).

u/Shad0wWarri0r · 2 pointsr/kansascity

The machine does all the work, so go for the best equipment. Here is KUmed: http://www.kumc.edu/school-of-medicine/ophthalmology/patient-care/refractive-surgery.html

They do the sbk lasik that durrie vision uses and appears to actually use the same exact equipment in the in the same lab, but by allowing a resident to do it under supervision of a physician you can have it done for $3,400 instead of $5,500. (these were prices 3 years ago, so they may have come down)

I didn't know about it until after I already got lasik, so I wasn't able to use them. SBK supposedly cuts a thinner flap. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intralase_SBK

I ended up using http://www.grineyecare.com/?page=lasik. They do the actually procedure in a shared office used by other eye doctors off of 75th street in prairie village. And some eye doctors will use grin for the procedure itself, but have you come back to them for follow up checkups.

After 3 years, I have a very slight prescription, but not enough to make me want to do the procedure again and assume the same risks all over again. Another person I know has a perfect 20/25 using the same clinic.

I had a really dominant right eye which made the adjustment harder. It actually took the full 18 months for my vision to fully settle down and during the first 6 months reading anything close was harder due to the new imbalance(or balance) between my eyes. I used a lower resolution on my computer and a lot of zooming. I also couldn't even read the license plate of the car in front of me, but could read road signs that were further away. It was weird.

Overall, it was definitely worth it.

I do feel night vision is slightly worse but largely due to the slight prescription. There are no halos or starbursts, those went away within the first year. I don't think halos are as big of a concern with the bladeless lasik because they cut a larger flap so your dilated pupil doesn't cross the seem of the flap. In my last eye exam they diluted my pupils and that didn't even cause halos.

After about a year, eye dryness was back to normal. Also pick up a pair of motorcycle glasses like these: http://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Riding-Glasses-Smoke-Clear/dp/B000GD5FMY/ Not ones that form a hard seal around your eye like goggles.

For the first few days, having those clear motorcycle glasses on while working saved me a ton of money in eye drops as well as when you had to walk around or leave your house to get into your car. I also got sun glass versions for driving. Even with them, I you still will end up spending 100 bucks or even more on eye drops after the procedure. You have to use the one time use preservative free eye drop vials which are also the most expensive and the thicker ones which are even more expensive work best: http://www.amazon.com/Refresh-Celluvisc-Lubricant-Containers-Quantity/dp/B0064FKL4U/

I used drops like crazy because I didn't want to risk my eyes drying out. I also slept with the motor cycle glasses on for the first few weeks, it seemed to help a lot to reduce dry eye while sleeping. Put in eye drops, put on glasses, let them fog up due to the amount of moisture and sleep.

Even at home, you can put drops in, the glasses may fog up, just vent them a few times until you get the perfect balance of moisture locked in without fogging and you can wear them even at home watching tv to keep your eyes from drying out. You'll know when you don't need them anymore because your eye's won't get really dry without them.

Also, maybe you won't have as bad of dry eye right after the procedure, but I felt I had dryer eyes before getting it, so I used the glasses more as a precaution.

u/omaum · 4 pointsr/Cornell

The hills look a lot more brutal than they are. I see elderly folks crushing it up the steepest hills, no problem. Just warm up to it like everything else and use your gears. If you get tired just take the bus, each bus has an easy to use bike rack on the front.

Winter isn't too bad. I rode through the whole year, and it was fine, I see a lot of people biking all winter. Just wear your 'PPE', helmet, gloves, maybe some goggles. There's no shame in taking the bus sometimes, all the busses have a bike rack on the front. A hybrid or mountain bike is probably ideal, but I have seen some road bikes in use. Keep an extra tube, pump, and tire levers. There is also a nice bike pump in front of Bus Stop Bagels that is nice to use when you just need to top up some pressure.

You may not need to bring a bike, apparently there is a bike share program, Big Red Bikes, but I haven't looked into it, seems interesting.

Hope you have fun beefing up those quads :P

- get a lightweight bike, travel light, wear protective gear, carry water, stay warm, take the bus with bike if needed.

- edit: has anyone tried using lime bike? is it easier to get up the hills on them?

u/ershtor · 2 pointsr/Spiderman

Thanks! Fortunately I was able to just buy the boots, pants, sweater, gloves, facemask, and goggles. I couldn't find a vest or helmet that was right, so I sewed them myself.

I bought upholstery vinyl because it was a lot cheaper than leather and it looked closest to the comic/video game costume.

There wasn't a pattern that was close to what I needed, so I had to just cut out the pieces myself, assemble it, then cut it down to fit.

For the vest there was a middle piece and two side pieces on the back, two pieces for the front to create the double breast, and the collar. I found some cool buttons at a fabric store and sewed them on and cut corresponding holes for them. On the back, I hand embroidered a Spider-Man logo, picture here. It's filled in with black and I outlined it with red and blue.

The helmet was the hardest part. It still didn't come out quite right. I started with the band going around the bottom from ear to ear, then cut out the strips for the top. I sewed the strap for the goggles to the band of the helmet to make it stay, but in a way that also allowed it to move.

As a bonus, I crocheted a pouch to hold my wallet and keys that resembled webbing. It was my first time crocheting so it didn't look very pretty, but that worked out in my favor because it looked more like webbing.

Here are links to the piece I bought:

Boots

Goggles

Pants

Balaclava

It probably took me about a month to complete it, but I wasn't working on it every day. The most time consuming part was the embroidery. With the vest and helmet took a decent amount of time after cutting the pieces and pinning them together, then recutting them to fit better. But actually sewing it all together didn't take much time. As long as you use a sewing machine.

u/zxj4k3xz · 1 pointr/airsoft

Then the Land Ops are probably your best option for glasses. I've also heard good things about Guard Dog Evader 2 for glasses users but never used them.

Contacts are definitely the best choice overall, or, if you're a rich boy, LASIK. Expensive but worth it.

u/slithica · 1 pointr/scooters

Yeah, that's realistic.

You can get a cheap ones online.

https://www.amazon.com/TaoTao-50cc-Sporty-Scooter-Green/dp/B015NKNB52/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491241855&sr=8-1&keywords=50cc%2Bscooter&th=1

$500 with free shipping in like new section.

Taotao scoots usually work pretty well as long as you service them properly. (easy $25 toolkit does the job)

You'll want a helmet, a half helm is good enough, leather gloves and thick ones for coldish weather. if it gets really cold you'll regret driving it, even 2 miles. Gear should cost you about $100.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001TK7CYM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

those are some great goggles.

helmet

the rest is up to you.

u/SierraSylph · 2 pointsr/BurningMan

Fellow four-eyes here!

I'm a snowboarder so I use big ol' snowboard/ski googles. Honestly I always try them on physically but I did order some amazon ones with some good luck. They tend to be larger, half face sized. Not like individual eyes. Yes, my glasses get pushed up a little, but the plus side on that is the googles tend to hold them in place. Just move them around until it feels comfortable and not pressing too hard into your eyes. I wear wide, black rimmed square frames but never really have an issue. Fogging up usually only happened on the snow (because moisture) but I'd guess in the low moisture environment of BR it wont be an issue. The funky sparkly ones I see at costume shops look fun but don't look like they even seal up air tight.

000962403https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N8QASU4/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Exactly what I ordered \^\^\^

u/brusifur · 1 pointr/BurningMan

I need glasses, and only occasionally wear contacts. I brought some daily disposables, but found that the combination of light and dust and dryness made the contacts unbearable, so I just wore my regular glasses with one of the many goggles that fit over them. I am sure there are dozens of great suggestions here, but just for the record, I used these and these for night and day respectively. They both fit over my medium/small sized eyeglasses.

u/shion005 · 2 pointsr/AskWomen

I've got both as well. I've found that blue light blocking glasses and melatonin supplements help me a lot. Once I sleep, I slow down considerably. I used to be on a bunch of meds, but now I don't take anything.

These are the glasses I use: http://www.amazon.com/Bobster-Bugeye-Goggles-Black-Frame/dp/B002P3LLR6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1453983337&sr=8-4&keywords=orange+goggles

They're $9, so maybe worth a try if you can't get bipolar meds for a while :) I wear them starting about 3 hours before I go to bed and just sleep wearing them. Good luck, I hope things turn around for you.

u/missmelee · 1 pointr/BurningMan

I mostly manage with sunglasses but for those dust storms I love this style. They aren't 100% dust free since they gave tiny side air holes but that also means they don't fog up or get overly sweaty. They are also lightly padded. Tinted is helpful during the day but make sure you have clear at night.
https://www.amazon.com/Baron-Motorcycle-aviator-Goggles-Night/dp/B001TK7CYM

u/I_Like_You_Too · 1 pointr/BurningMan

I have funky shaped acrylic (plastic) glasses, but these fit them perfectly! I'm a virgin burner as well, but the few veterans I know highly recommended them.

u/johns303 · 2 pointsr/SkyDiving

Mostly because they are free. My first were a clear pair of birdz.

http://www.amazon.com/Birdz-Eyewear-The-Wing-Micro-Fiber/dp/B0021ELWOG

super cheap.
I liked goggles more than glasses because they are not as likely to catch air and cause a distraction in the air. The less you are concerned about your eye-ware falling off the more you can be relaxed and focus on the skydive.

u/WhereTheFunBegins66 · 1 pointr/airsoft

I am a fellow blind airsofter who needs his glasses. For certain reasons, contacts wasn't an option for me. After 9 years of airsofting, here are the two best methods I've found.

Budget method:
https://www.amazon.com/JT-Spectra-ProShield-Thermal-Goggle/dp/B003FVW9BO
The JT ProShield is a FANTASTIC paintball mask that has enough room to fit most glasses. It also has a attachable fan which eliminates all fog. I've played in rainy forests in these goggles and have had no fogging issues even while wearing glasses. You may run into som ADS issues which can be solved by buying a rail riser.

On a side note, shop around for a better price, I just grabbed the first link.

Best method:
http://www.evike.com/products/36909/
https://www.revisionmilitary.com/en/eyewear/accessories/2011-prescription-rx-carrier-and-connector-system
This setup is what I currently use. These googles have prescription inserts which you can order directly from Revision.com I bought the googles from Evike, and then order the RX inserts filled out with my prescription from Revision. This method will cost 150 for the goggles and 100 for your prescription and the inserts. This method also takes more effort. I had to call my ophthalmologist to find out my pupillary distance and other info.

If you have any questions, let me know! Glasses are definitely a pain, but they are workable!

u/TheBuzzerBeater · 1 pointr/Coachella

I've brought these "motorcycle glasses" with me for the dust and they've been lifesavers for those in my group with contacts when it gets windy. The padding on the glasses keeps the dust out and they look decent.

You can get them in a ton of different styles but they're all pretty cheap and stay on even when you're dancing around.

Edit: I don't get why this has downvotes. Almost every comment says to wear sunglasses. These are just sunglasses that keep dust out and they're super cheap.

P.S. Just search for "motorcycle" or "padded" sunglasses and a ton of options come up

u/idene · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Balloons are fun

I know it sounds dull, but I added this to my list. Otherwise I'm in dire need of these for work, even if it's a used pair haha.

For you, I would want you to have this because I think there's no better way to celebrate recent weight loss goals then with clothes that make you look and feel good.

u/ChipSkyLurk · 1 pointr/airsoft

This mask is great, never fogs too

It doesn't look as wide in the picture, but trust me. The mask fan is a plus, too.

u/Badmoterfinger · 6 pointsr/BurningMan

This is a really good deal. My girlfriend and I ordered a set each and they worked great. You get two pairs, tinted dark for daytime and clear at night.

u/lpcook · 1 pointr/BurningMan

I also have a very narrow face, and found that these fit me well the last 2 burns. Added bonus, they have transitions lenses (get darker in daylight and clear at night) and cost $17.

u/zefram · 4 pointsr/comicbooks

Not the OP, but searching for "pink safety glasses" on Amazon returns a few likely-looking results that you could then mod according to your tastes: like this or this.

u/hawken50 · 2 pointsr/Harley

The best deal I've found- 3 Pairs Kickback Foam Padded Motorcycle Sunglasses https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003FBV8ZW/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_KAwcvb044MVF9

3 pairs for under $20 and they work better for me than any others I've tried. Same company also makes ones with transition lenses for $30 on amazon. Those are my everyday riding glasses.

u/pyrohectic · 1 pointr/airsoft

https://www.amazon.com/Guard-Dogs-Goggles-Evader-Matte-FogStopper/dp/B011LTAV7K

you should consider these. Never cheap out on eye protection. you and I both have glasses so I know how hard it is to play with fog, but trust me. Even other goggles with good ventilation and fans or a combination of both are a really good investment. Also, most fields have a ban on mesh eye protection so The mask limits your choice of fields.

u/spiral_arm · 2 pointsr/BurningMan

I'm going to second the red baron motorcycle googles. They're perfect in every way -- simple and lightweight so you don't mind carrying them around (unlike those huge ski goggles), they seal around your eyes and are comfortable (you just need to duct tape over the little vents on either side), and they send you both the clear night and tinted day versions. They do start to deteriorate after a few years, so we tend to re-up every year and now we have a fairly large collection in our container in varying stages of decay but all still usable enough that we can pass them around to folks in need. I also take some more fashion-conscious goggles, but the red barons are what I'm actually wearing 90% of the time.

And sure, some people may not need goggles.. but don't take that chance if it's your first time. I wear contacts and I absolutely 100% require goggles out there. I've only ever left camp without a set once. Never again.

u/onlinebuilt · 1 pointr/airsoft

Before I got contacts I used Guard-Dogs goggles Evader 2 they fit perfect on my big glasses.

u/sentry07 · 2 pointsr/motorcycles

Have you tried glasses like this that have the eye-gasket style foam? You can get them in clear lenses as well for night.

I am in the same boat, have to have contacts. I wear these sunglasses and when I leave the visor open or the face up, my contacts don't dry up unless I'm doing 50+.

u/LadyRevoS117 · 2 pointsr/starcraft

I bought a lot of the parts and pieces on Amazon (bodysuit, gloves, LED's, and goggles)
As for the actual armor pieces, they're craft foam. All the joints between the craft foam pieces are held together by cheesecloth and glue on the back (this tutorial pretty much helped me figure out how to shape the craft foam and put it together). Then they're paper mached to cover up the seams on the front. Then lots and LOTS of spray paint, followed by acrylic paint applied then wiped off to create the aged/battered effect. Then wired (9 volt batteries hidden throughout the costume) with LED's and resistors as required. Then the "glass" over the LED's was made from cut-up sandwich bags and white glass frosting spray.

u/yellow_yellow · 2 pointsr/motorcycles

I have a pair of these I really like them as they're good for day and night. However only can wear them with a 3/4 or 1/2 helmet. Lasted me about 2 seasons before the foam started to deteriorate.

I wear "sport" style sunglasses that fit close to my face and they seem to work fine, but if this isn't enough then maybe something like this would work.

You can get them for closer to $55 on Amazon

I have always had terrible circulation and my hands are the worst part. I commute year round in Boston, and last winter I splurged on a pair of those and they made all the difference. I wear these gloves and combined with the bar mitts I rode my 40 minute commute at temperatures of 0-5 F without any trouble.

For my feet I have gore-tex shimano mt71 shoes, and for the rest of me I was always pretty comfy in a fleece or jacket and regular pants. But I tend to run hot when I ride, so wearing rain gear even at 5F leaves me soaked with sweat on arrival.

Other important bits are face and eyes. These glasses are both fabulous and cheap and cover all lighting conditions while cutting down on the icy wind in your eyes (the yellow lenses are amazing for flat daytime light). On my face I wear a balaclava.

These are great if you wear glasses and I just use a balaclava and boonie hat https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B011LTAV7K/ref=ox_sc_act_image_6?smid=ABIE8KV9TJRVM&psc=1

I actually already bought mine, but it looks like it's a bit more rigid than mine. My original question was just if it was necessary to get a soft case. This is the one I got recently:

I recently bought these transition lens goggles on Amazon, I read good reviews on there and ePlaya.

u/nobettersafe · 1 pointr/BurningMan

amazon has them for $21 and free shipping.

It's the glasses you're wearing... you don't need goggles, but glasses that fit your face properly are a big deal.

They make glasses with foam padding, they might do it for you.

u/DylanPickoltz · 2 pointsr/malefashionadvice

damn that's tough without changing. i'd do tights under commuter jeans if you need the warmth.

edit: and maybe some aviation goggles to keep the wind out of your eyes.

I have a friend that has a similar problem... and he lives in a desert, so he's doubly screwed.

He uses 2 types of glasses for riding, I think depending on the conditions:

  1. http://www.oakley.com/products/6950/27326 I know he has sometimes puts racing tape (polyurethane tape used to protect carbon frames) over the vent holes sometimes.

  2. http://www.amazon.com/Pairs-Kickback-Padded-Motorcycle-Sunglasses/dp/B003FBV8ZW/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1396380196&sr=1-1 He also uses these sometimes with one of those neoprene straps to keep them on your head. He makes it so that it's a little tight.

    I ride with these when it's windy. http://www.oakley.com/products/7196/27529 If it's not windy then they fog up every time I slow down... so I don't slow down.... kidding, I'm slow as shit.
