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.

Is a little disclosure in order?

Do you work/own/profit from this company?

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.

I suggest a review of the Optiboard Posting Guidelines!


If so, I suggest a review of Optiboard's Posting Guidelines:

OptiBoard is designed to promote and encourage a free exchange of ideas and opportunities among eyecare professionals. This Board is here to serve PROFESSIONAL interests, and it is NOT acceptable to use it solely as a Marketing or Sales tool (except as noted below.). Blatant attempts to misuse this resource will be deleted.

You also sell direct to the consumer online, correct?

Let 7eye solve your problem, with our apologies. Phone Bobbe at 925-484-0292 x.113, or email bgauthier@7eye.com. Again, we're sorry, and we'll fix it.

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.
