Mark_H Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I know some of you have bought goggles for driving, what make are they, and where do you get them from? What makes them so good? Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Sewell Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Because I need prescription lenses and like interchangable tints, I like the Bolle Parole or Vigilante series. Good wraparound to stop dust/grit getting behind the lenses at speed and access to cheap prescription lenses using their adapter. Low tech luddite - xflow and proud!

Bafty Crastard Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 As stated Wiley “goggles” seam to be favoured by a lot of seven’ers, I also have a pair and several lens, but frankly I am not that impressed I think they feel to light weight and cheep looking 😳 Just my opinion,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Any one want to purchase a pair R300 NUT'errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Simon Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Bafty, I found the XL-1 goggles went too deep into my eye orbits allowing my eyelids to touch the lenses. (Marty Feldman eyes? 😬) I bought a pair of Wiley CQC goggles and can't be happier. They're much smaller than conventional goggles, yet provide good protection and eyelid clearance. If it's warm outside, (dry eye weather) I skip the goggles and use a pair of Oakley M-frames with Heater lenses. -Bob 95 HPC VX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Wong1697456877 Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 The Davida Aviators are brilliant - I prefer these to the Wiley's although both are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bafty Crastard Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I use the Blue Aviator Retro Specials distributed by Davida. Speeds up to 110/115 mph with out the doors fitted, not a problem. The Wiley’s I not sure they would be still on my head ! R300 NUT'errrrrrrrrrrrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jleclainche Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I use the Wiley XL1 goggle, fitted with prescription "transition" lenses. I can tell you no problem keeping them on at 110 mph +. Different subject- any one has has a bonnet stand (the rod to keep the darn thing open while you work on the engine!) for an S4? Would Redline have this item by any chance?

Petrolhead Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I found the std lenses in the Willy X not up to the job of driving into sunlight. I wear these here R500 no 65 😬 I am after a passenger side half door, 6inch and 8inch x13 Alloys + Slicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_H Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 I take it you don't mean the light adjusting lenses? Anyway, they arrived today. They are light, appear to be strong, and they fit well. The fact the US military use them, suggests they are upto the job. I am pleased! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
