Are these practical riding goggles for someone who does a lot of freeway riding at night?

Probably not...Unless they fit perfectly. .For the price. ..they are a bargain
1678763
Nope, not at all. The lenses are way too dark for wearing at night, unless your goal is to run into trees. Sorry!

I would say no. The lenses are a dark tint, so riding at night alone can be affected. Also, the goggle frames are actually a really light weight plastic, which I would say isnt practical for long term use. These are mostly just for style or show, and not safety or protection.

They have a significant tint so, nope. I have a set of clear lens goggles for when I ride at night. They're really cool otherwise and I've gotten tons of compliments.

I haven't ridden with them. If you pad the eye cups it could work. My main concern would be the venting. It may allow too much airflow to be a good solution at speed.

I can't see well enough at night to drive safely anymore. Last night I HAD to drive home in the dark both on highway and dark, winding roads. These were a godsend, and made it home safely. They reduced the oncoming lights' glare and brightened the roads.

I would not recommend it. The tint would also reduce pavement markings that are faded and may cause one to cross the center line or stray too far to the right and get pulled into a soft shoulder. Better to purchase night vision driving glasses like marksmen wear at target practice. They have yellow polarized lenses and make night driving safe. You can get regular glasses, clip ons or goggles to wear over prescription glasses.

I actually returned the pair I got because.they didn't seem to make a difference for night driving. I don't remember if they were polarized.

I haven't tested them, but the ad calls them 'safety' glasses. They're great sunglasses and motorcycle goggles, especially when you're out driving around sunset with the setting sun in your eyes. But I wouldn't try viewing an eclipse or striking an arc with them as my only protection. I seem to remember they have an ANSI rating but there are several different ANSI standards, so it's important to know which one they meet. As in anything involving your sight, caution is best.

I am a above average person. THese fit just fine but not snug around the eyes. I can use these cruising around town. But anything over 50 mph. not so great. THe yellow tints are perfect when i am on back roads with lack of light..

All I can tell you they are nice (really brighten things up) on cloudy days. At night they cut down on light glare from headlights/street lights but they do darken shadowed area more then clear lens. In town at night they are ok but not on country roads at night,to dark.

I haven't ridden with them. But wearing them for longer than 20-30 mins is a little uncomfortable on the nose. I have used them for sunglasses though, and I do like them.

They're designed to fit around most helmets, unless it's really big and weird. But if you were going to wear it for skiing, I'd suggest one of Oakley's other goggles that are actually designed for that application.

yes they can b worn at night time cause they're clear, but they are really big around, like each lense is bigger around then a pop can.

Definitely not. The slight magnification distorts your view more than help with glare. Do not use these for night driving.

I'd think so. As sunglasses and motorcycle goggles, they're as good as more expensive units. They're also totally steam punk if you paint up the frames in metal. When out and about, I get constant queries regarding how to get them.

Yes they should be good for paintball the goggles are very comfortable and very breathable but the paint might stain the head straps if that matters :P

I wear them during the day if I'm driving on the freeway. They make everything look brighter and clearer. And if it's overcast they really make a difference. I'm glad I bought them. (I haven't driven at night since I got them, so I don't know how they are for night driving.)

I didn't use them for night driving. But, I don't recommend these for night drive. But these are great for computer usage for long times.

I use them for night driving to minimize glare and they've never fogged up. I can't say for the shooting range.
