    I bought a pair of halcyon mk9
    Goggles about 25 yrs ago still going strong, had to replace strap as it lost its elasticity. But great apart from that. Make sure the ones you buy have the offset metal thingy that the strap attaches to to allow for the goggles being recessed in a helmet rather than goggles for non Helmet wear. If you know what I mean.

    You know the model number? Being able to fit comfortably in the face area is important?

    I've just bought a pair of Bolle goggles. The Cafe Racer sell them as "Bolle Mcqueen goggles" for £49.95 but they are cheaper at £40.25 on ebay under tactical mask Bollé Commando Army AirSoft - free postage from France. They are a better fit than my current Airfoil ones and have much better vision.

    If you are concerned with your public image ignore this, otherwise go to an industrial safety gear factor and get great goggles for around a fiver.

    I don't mind a little industrialism, but I may be a little vain for that extent of fusion

    I've just noticed your other thread on open face helmets. I use a full face normally, but for local and warm weather riding I have a Momo jet style helmet. It's a lot more convenient than fiddling with goggles.

    Well I purchased some Halcyon goggles for £35, black brass surrounds with black pvc padding! Tried them out too and from work today... very happy with them :blush:
