Roadster driving glasses
Ok- I'm an old fart & I wear prescription glasses. For years, I've been able to get by w/ a pair of RX Ray Bans. No more. My eyes dry out before I hit the 1st stop light. I've been getting by with a pair of goggles over my glasses but they aren't exactly cool & I catch a ton of grief from my buddies over them. Like- where did I park the bi-plane?
So- I've been shopping for RX driving sunglasses- like some of the Harley guys use.
1st stop- Panoptx & specifically the Bora CV RX
I want day & night lense, removeable foam , & straps to convert to goggles if I desire.
So- I order them at my local Harley Davidson store & gave them my doctor's prescription. 3 weeks later, they call & say they can't make them. The max Panoptx will do is a +3 & mine is a +4.5 I get a refund.
Next- Wiley X
I like lots of the Wiley X but guess what? They sell the frames & it's up to you to take to your RX & have the prescription filled. I find out the lense is too curved to work with- especially w/ my +4.5 (or they aren't interested)
So my question to all you roadster guys-
What are you wearing & how many are RX & how strong?
What are my options besides goggles over my existing glasses?
Even more important- where are you buying them? I want 1 stop shopping.
I found several places on line but for RX glasses? Safe & accurate?
Help!
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
