Ugggh!
I wear prescription glasses. My glasses just broke today, and I either have to use duct tape or an old pair. This is not a question of "buy $5 safety sun glasses and forget it." I need something I can wear at work and not look
too weird. No sense in carrying around two pairs of glasses. Motorcycling is tough enough without one more piece of gear. I have to have glasses that can withstand being stuffed into my ff helmet. Of course, there's no guarantee that motorcycle glasses will not fall apart either.
Trivex and polycarbonate ARE safety lenses. The frames I am buying are cheap and are not necessarily safety rated, but they're made for motorcycling. The WileyX glasses I considered are ANSI rated safety glasses.
I can't ride without Rx glasses! I've never tried contacts before, but isn't that chancy on bikes? Better to have the protection, right?
I kinda preferred wrap-around Rx bike glasses to the weird
lens behind plastic Zenni Optical stuff. Remember, this is something I have to wear
all day long AFTER I get off the bike . I serve food at a restaurant. It's bad enough to have to be seen in motorcycle glasses.
But wearing weird safety glasses
.
On second thought, who knows-- maybe I would look good in weird safety glasses.
Conversation starter maybe
.
That emoticon is a decent descriptor of how I'd look in the sun, especially if I had gotten the WileyX's.
Cool sometimes, but I wonder if it would be strange at other times.
I've never worn this type of frame before. I'm used to conventional metal frames. I'll get used to it.
