Inexpensive high speed shades for passengers
 

I've got a nice set of Barz shadesBarz - they are fantastic for high speed driving. My problem is that the shades worn by most passengers just don't cut the mustard at high speed - watering eyes, etc..

I wanted to keep a couple pair of cheap shades on board for passengers - don't want them to have to wear big-ass ski goggles. Suggestions?

thx,
Mark

These are the best I have
found, The lenses DO-NOT bend in at Hi-Speed.
Been using and supplying
them to passangers and
customers for over 10 years.

like the strap, OH well.

I buy safety glasses from Home Depot or Grainger. Some are stylish. Most are inexpensive.

I've been using the same "glasses" for a couple of years on my boats and they are GREAT :D . The clear lenses are great in the rain and wil NOT fog up. They are also polerized to keep the glare down. Overtons sells them in the PWC section.

I also use the Home Depot safty Glasses. They do a good job. look good and dont cost much. They are the best I found for the $$$

Nice, but not willing to spend $50 per passenger on shades.

I've got a handful of safety glasses from work (UVEX) - never tried them 'cause I just thought there'd be a lot of wind turbulence between the glasses and the eyes.:rolleyes:

Add one more for the Home Depot saftey glasses. Cheap, look good & if you lose them you are not out bunch of money. Like $4 per pair. Of course being cheap glasses they do not get lost like the high dollar kinds

Gaffrig has some nice small goggles .
I found almost the same ones without the gaffig name for $5 each at a flea market in Pocono PA .They come in blue ,yellow or smoked lenses .There are venders there all the time that have them .Maybe some one near there could set us up with some more .I could use another bag and I'm too lazy to drive up there right now .:rolleyes:

I have a few different varieties, but I like the BUGZ the best.
Work great at 78.9MPH and very cool in the hor temps!

Give this a look.

I have worn them for years, since I started racing PWC. They are cheap, comfortable, and they FLOAT without a floatie/croakie, since the temples are lined with HydroTurf; the soft stuff in the footwells of PWC.

I say a blindfold. What they don't know won't scare them.:D

Hey Sydwayz23,

I tried to email and call about the "bombers" and got no response. What is up with them?

Every year at the Annapolis boat show there is a booth selling sunglasses. They got the cheap ones and the good ones. In the cheap section at 2 for 20 bucks are some nice glass lens wrap around sunglasses that work great at speed. I always pick up a couple of pair to make up for lost ones.

On the Sea Doos we wear Bobsters-they are like a small goggle-about 9 bucks on E bay. They work real well, but you look like a bug:D

I have not bought any in a long time, but I need to replace a few pairs that are worn. I do remember that it will take a while to get a response back. The manufacturer (bomber2000.com) is the only person I have bought from, but I met the retailer (bombersunglasses.com) at a boat show last year, and I think you may have better luck going thru her. They are worth checking out. I love mine, and at that price, they are almost disposable.

Got a pair of Bombers !
 

Just received a pair of Cherry Bomb Bombers - for $25 to my door, seem nice, eand realistically priced. Very snug fit on the sides of the head. Have not tested at speed yet, but the optics seemed decent - used them on way drive in to work this morning (there was lots of sun glare).

Did you stick your head out the window ??:p
