I am actually looking at these for when I ride my bicycle. I have contacts and the wind bothers them. Do these prevent wind from hitting the eye?

They work fine for me on my motorcycle so a bicycle should be no problem. I don't wear contract lenses however.

Nope. At least not at motorcycle speeds. It'd reduce or stop it on a bike I'm guessing. But if you want something air tight get goggles. These aren't for you. They foam on these has grooves specifically to allow air flow.

They have small vent slots so a little air comes in but they are great with my contacts on my motorcycle! I hope this helps!

These do the basic job.. I got them for a motorcycle and at speeds above 40MPH they are not too good. The foam around them doesn't provide a full seal as other product with a higher pricetag. For companions in the motorcycle are ok, not for me as driver. I would think that for bicycle use they should be ok.

I use them when I am riding my 50cc scooter-99.9% of the wind does not hit my eyes. I recommend them.

A good deal of wind, yes. Not all, however, which is good in the sense that it keeps them from fogging up. I think that they would work well for what you are solving for...

I used these on a motorcycle with no windshield and they worked great to keep my contacts from drying out. I think you would be happy with these glasses.

It's definitely better than not wearing glasses, but like most, some wind comes through the sides and hits the eyes. I use these on a motorcycle and don't really notice the wind until I am over 40mph. For bicycles I would say you should be fine, but I don't have contacts and don't know how sensitive they would be to the wind.

I have used them a few times to hold down a 10x10 canopy. They seemed to work well, but we never had terribly high wind with them. They are supposed to be better because they hold the legs at the bottom and not the top which compromises the strength of the canopy. They weigh more filled up than what I was using previously so I will keep using them. It does make it hard to put your sides on if you have to close up for the night though.

The way they are vented, I doubt they would keep out much dust. I use them street riding, great for that. Although, for the small price and solid quality I would pick up a pair and try it.

I had no problem fitting Sunglasses and these on the ears. They worked well when running so should not interfere much am looking at getting blue tooth just to eliminate the wire.Never tried them with my regular glasses though.

I use them for motorcycling and think they work fine. It's nice that they are connected. My helmet is modular and very noisy. These provide protection for the ears without drowning out all the ambient noise too much. It's the wind that the problem with my helmet and these work well and, a good value.

I have the same situation. Mine mounted inside the hand controls and still had pleanty of coverage to block wind from the grips. They have a spacer included to give you an extra inch of outward spacing. I was very happy with them. They look factory. Note you have to buy the bracket and the shields separate.

I've had these sunglasses for about 6 months now. I wear them running, so I sweat all over them and they are fine. I've even gotten caught in a couple rain storms and they still work just fine. So I can vouch at they at least are moderately water proof. I wouldn't wear them in the swimming pool or anything! :)

Not really sure. I used them on my bike trip to Stugis this year and really liked them as they seemed to stop wind from whipping behind the lens. Had some light rain several times and they didn't fog but it was pretty warm out. I just like the ability to change lens to fit the conditions. Note - don't grab the soft rubber nose piece when changing lenes- hold on to the hard plastic piece.

I wear contacts but I do wear sunglasses most days. I have found if I am not moving and breathing at a normal rate, I fog up pretty badly. While moving have not had any major issue but at a standstill or very slow pace yes it fogs up. Like Martyn said though, if you sorta put your lips against the mesh by your mouth and kinda of channel your exhale, it does eliminate a lot of the problem. This is not always a practical thing to do though.

No they dont. I put them on when facing the sun and it's like not wearing glasses at all. These don't offer protection from sun just from computers.

The glasses have taken quite a beating for me from rocks, sand, insects. they have not scratched nor cracked. Dust and sand will however creep in through the vents and make riding difficult if the particles are small enough. these are not air tight.

I've worn some sunglasses with them and you have to place the frames above the headphones because they do wrap around the top of your ear. That being said, I wear them on my 45 minute commute to work and they have not become uncomfortable in that timeframe. Not sure how the glasses would hold up staying on your face during a workout though. Haven't had the need for that.

They do not add to the wind noise and if you drive with the Windows down thirty help with the noise ...Hope that helps...

To Be honest, I haven't worn them except for red Laser scope use. It does work to help see the red dot better but I don't think it protects your eyes like normal sunglasses. When you put them on everything is red.

Hi, Yes it is possible to wear eye protection with them I wear eye protection when I use them all the time. I also found that they work well. Hope this helps

I often wear sunglasses with them. I slip the ear pieces above the headset. Since my hair covers my ears it doesn't look odd on me. The glasses stay on quite securely. I am happy with the way they work for me.

I bought these for that specific purpose, and have not had zero problems. I had to make sure to use the right tip, but it came with an assortment. They really cut out the wind, but I can still hear my bike and traffic, etc., even with music playing.
