One & All,

Our Japanese member ‘mincoro’ kindly supplied information on the lightweight goggles similar to those featured on his blog home page:  http://tonton-cycle.blogspot.com

I thought they might be suitable for you aspiring L’Eroica riders?

Anyway, they are intended for horse racing and priced at £6.95:  http://www.saddlery.biz/americ.….clear.html

Safe rides.

Gentlemen,


Many thanks for the pointers… perfect sportive wear! I’m just trying to decide which one to go for, but I see Kroops have cycle specific ones. Like. Very much.


Kind regards,

Martin

Crickey chaps, me starting this topic certainly started a flurry of interest, my inbox was full of topic notifications. It just goes to show that thinking outside the box can pay off!

An inspiration from Japan ends up with you fellows buying jockey goggles from an outlet the other side of Bodmin Moor.

Safe rides (in your new goggles) ‘One & All’.

Chaps, I’m afraid I’ve gone for the clear visor option… I fear I will look like a budding DIY’er aboard my Guvnor. Perhaps a suedette utility belt would complete the look… Cool (I couldn’t find an emoticon with clear lenses).


Kind regards,

Cripes, the postman has just delivered mine… less than 24 hours from ordering! I did chuckle to myself when I tried them on– this is serious Guvnor wear… now to kick up some dust on the gravier.


Kind regards,

Gents,

These are a great find but tinted?  Pimp my peepers?  Surely not?  Or is this a practical consideration for cycling on sunny summer days?

Concerned, 

Tooting
