Okay, so I may be a total woosie for asking, but does anyone know of some good goggle type sunglasses? As my speeds increase with the new boat, it's a little harder to see and my eyes start wattering. So I'm just wondering if anyone wears goggles or knows of some fairly good wrap around sunglasses. I'd prefer to not spend a lot...since these will probably get lost on the boat or in the water sometime...

For long distance speed runs I've got a pair of Spy goggles that I pull out of my dirtbike/quad gear bag and throw in the boat. Other than that, I just wear my regular Spy, I believe they're Scoops, and they do a pretty good job. Pussy. :D :D :D

The Overton's magazine has quite a selection of goggles for the wave runner crowd. Not that there is anything wrong wit dat.

We've worn our clic goggles (http://www.clicgoggles.com/newhome/newhome.html) during poker runs and on the Harley. They're actually speed rated. :)

The little store about a mile down Rice Road from Desert Center (on the left heading twards Parker) has cheapies for less then $10. :idea:
I've had a couple for 2 years and they work fine.

Over the years I must have lost hundreds of pairs of good and bad sunglasses all over Mead, Powell, Havasu and Lake Pacific. I finally smartened up and use my bike goggles - Scotts. In fact I buy the style that I can wear my reading glasses in. Doubt if I've ever paid more than $15.00 to save a pair of $200. readers...

check out the water jackets by oakley www.oakley.com - for surfers, h20 skiers, and jet skiers. they'll work great for the boat pilot, as i where mine all the time - keyes
AGREED!! Just do yourself a favor and get the Polarized model!! :idea:

John, go to your local Harley shop. They have pleanty. I picked some up gopt $5. Clear for running at dusk when it is just too dark to wear my shades.
Kinda makes sense, a motorcyle shop, ha? Hows the boat running?
