Bolle Alien. The nose sticks out so far there are lenses in the bottom.

Bolle Edge and Vaurnet, both very comfortable.

WOW...I remember those. We couldn't give them away. Damn.

I remember them too, in a "Dennis Rodman and which other person is going to wear these?" way.

Wish there was a way to wear mine with a full helmet...

I have not got around to it but it should be easy enough to cut and insert an elastic extension in the strap but but the goggles come around the side so far you would need to remove the helmet ear pieces and it still won't sit on top of the helmet.The plastic goggle frame is way too rigid. It almost works with my Smith helmet if I put the goggles on first and the helmet over but really, I am too old to pull off that look.

Yeh, no real way for it to work with a helmet like <-that one.

All I can say is"What were they thinking!!!"

All I can say is"What were they thinking!!!"

That's easy- they were thinking "Dennis Rodman" and "Spy Kids 3D".

Kinda like Ray-Ban were thinking "Arnold" and "Predator 17 Dozen".

Only different.

Very different.

My goggle of choice from the late 60's to the mid 70's! Bouton! Classic shape that fit well under DH helmets. Even came with 3 lenses; amber, clear, and gray-green.

Found this on the Jerry of the Day awhile back.

Added a few, lost a few. Here's the ones that aren't left in a car or boot bag right now..
