The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Anybody using these?
Like the "old school" look and seeking feedback/reviews.

Thanks.
 
They don't fit and look stupid under my modern high tech helmet. Besides that, couldn't see Jack.
 
what kind of helmet you'd use ? :eek:
just looking out for your chin, brudda.
'chicks' don't dig 'em. that's a myth :p

Umm something to think about, though not so cool, good quality ski-goggles have the advantage that allows them to be put on over the helmet because they stick out further from your face...That style-Aviator goggles on that 3/4 helmet,you might have to put goggles on before your helmet...If you get what I mean, it's something to check.

it's hard to beat a faceshield on these helmets, but if you wanted to goto a beanie helmet, you might find those goggles more practical

Also looking at these British made Halcyon Goggles, designed to be worn over helmet (strap treated with something to prevent slip/slide on the helmet)
Looks like better quality over all.
 
Yes, better to pay for better ones. Your eyeballs are pretty important .
I wore a very similar pair with the angles at the sides- English-made too, I think, in the 70's with 3/4 helmets. Mine were safety glass ....with no distortion at the periphery. Those look like plastic??... but I guess the stuff is much better nowadays.. ...the quality of the elastic in the strap is important long term too. I can't remember how well they were against fogging in rain. I do not remember ever losing them off the helmet when pulled up off my face.
I remember you have to have a good thick bandanna tied and ready to pull up to your nose to try to stop rain and bugs from stinging too much at speed if you don't have a windscreen... The cotton bandanas I used didn't work awful well and it still hurts thinking about it.
 
Here is a picture of a pair of antique safety goggles I have on the shelf. IMO for riding, new designs may be better.

haha-apart from the dead rubber elastic,any goggle that was good enough for a Spitfire pilot, would be good enough for me!
 
Open face helmet with goggles going on the outside is the only way that goggles work. One really does need to be able to pull them off if/when bugsplat or anything else make them nontransparant. Surely noone would use a full face helmet with a visor that does not open?

For rain/wind/bug/snow protection I've found that a standard issue shemagh works great.
 
i've heard good reviews of the halcyon goggs....def have that vintage look...
