Received a pair as a Christmas gift and just tried them out on the bike as it has been too dam cold and raining too much in Maine to do any riding. Anyway. They work well with a shorty helmet or no helmet and stay on well enough on the highway at 75 mph.
Do fog up a bit, but all you need do is spit in them just like your Scuba mask and they are good to go for a few hours.
Pros
- They are clear and protect your eyes from rocks and crap that comes off cars.
Cons
- More than a tad on the really expensive side.
I like them. Need to put a few years of use time on them to see how well they hold up. Store well hanging on the handlebars, but better to keep in the saddlebags. A leather pouch would be nice.
They do make freaky multicolour reflections when you look thru the bike's plexiglass windshield, but are clear as long as you looking over it.
