    Motorcycle Goggles

    I have a patient looking for a pair of rxable motorcycle goggles. Any ideas where I'd get some from? We don't carry anything like that.

    We use a line called 7Eye (http://www.7eye.com/) which work very well. A lot of the frames have removable foam inserts behind the lens. We've had great feedback from them!

    I use . . . .

    the Wiley X Climate Control Series. I used to use Panoptix who morphed into 7eye, but they made me mad when they wouldn't sell me a foam insert for a style they carried over.

    Good luck to you!

    Sorry I'm posting so late...but Triumph used to sell rx'able goggles at their dealerships. Don't know if they still do though.

    full disclosure

    Yes, indeed...I do work at 7eye. Will stand behind everything I say, 100%. Will post my direct email to support that: bhall@7eye.com. You'd be dealing with the Canadian distributor, Imperial Eyewear, in Windsor....good folks.

    You also sell direct to the consumer online, correct?

    Maybe he should have bought it online! Heck, any consumer can, right?

    the facts on 7eye

    Fair question, Fezz. Over 95% of 7eye USA sales are to the wholesale trade, including a couple thousand ECP's. Less than 5% of sales are web, mostly plano sunglasses. In Canada (I think this string originated there), it's 99%. As a small company, we're doing our best to grow, AND to be responsible...we're not perfect. 7eye supports the professional trade. And I'm listening, and welcome the input.

    I would suggest Rudyproject.com. They have lots that are Rx-able.
