Halcyon Mark 49 Goggles - Black

Reviews

Halcyon goggles This is what I think about them so far (used them twice now, in the cold, which was basically what I wanted them for)... They're the Halcyon model Mark 9 Vintage. I'd tried other large-like goggles to cover the eye opening hole in the Schampa balaclava I wear in the winter, to keep the cold wind from entering and making my eyes water and parts of my face freeze and hurt. Nothing was 'sealing' very well and I was suffering and was really beginning to hate riding in the winter. I got these Halcyons and the very next day had a PGR mission that was a good 60 miles one way from the house and it was cold, didn't warm up like the weather idiot said it would. The goggles sealed fantastically. There was no 'vents' that I had to cover with little pieces of duct tape to keep too much air/cold air from getting in them and making my eyes water. They were also *comfortable*! The padding in the soft leather was really, really nice! I personally didn't have any problem with them being too big and interfering with the way my half-helmet sat on my head. According to them, it does bother enough people that Halcyoin makes a 'smaller' profile goggle for those with that problem. So far, I'm extremely happy with them. I haven't had the chance to wear them in rain or with the tinted lenses I ordered with them. Once I do wear them in sun and rain, I'll write that up too. They offer laminated glass or a damn fine, clear polycarbonate. The plastic is very clear, but you can still see a tiny (very tiny!) amount of blur in little areas of the lenses. Not enough to bother anything or make riding unsafe, but it's there if you look close. If you're not paying attention, you won't see that kind of thing. I'll eventually get the glass, simply because I feel it's just going to be better in the long run, since glass doesn't scratch like plastic will. Posted on 15/02/2013 by tar snake

Lunettes appropriées Maintenant, ce sont "propres" lunettes. Le cuir souple noir, souple et se sent assez confortable à porter pendant des heures, que ce soit sur ​​votre moto ou (je ne peux que l'imaginer) dans le cockpit. Érigé sur la conception de la RAF dans les années 1940, ce ne sont pas des répliques Seconde Guerre mondiale. Apparemment Halcyon faire ces si c'est ce que vous avez besoin, demandez cuir marron Seconde Guerre mondiale RAF peinte en bleu en laiton, PN 13-05860. Comme vous pouvez le deviner, lunettes originales de la RAF dans les années 1940 peut se vendre plusieurs centaines de livres de nos jours. C'est tout à fait une économie, compte tenu de ceux-ci sont d'une telle qualité. Sur la boîte il dit, "3mm d'épaisseur des verres de rechange sont montés, soit en verre feuilleté testé à la norme BS 4110 OU moulé et en polycarbonate enduit testé à la norme BS EN138." Celles-ci ont BS 4110 gravé sur le laiton chromé, il faut donc bien que ceux-ci sont en verre. Oui, le verre et laiton. Je crois qu'il est possible d'avoir des verres correcteurs personnalisés installés si vous le souhaitez. Une dernière chose à savoir avant d'acheter MK49 est, les différentes couleurs disponibles. Je pense que le chrome et noir semble le meilleur, mais vous préférerez peut-brun antique (ou éventuellement le cuir blanc si votre nom est Penelope Pitstop).

Richard There is no other classic motorcycle goggle that comes close to the quality of the Halcyon goggle, I have owned 3 pairs over the last 40 years (yes I'm that old) and other than replacing the headbands and occasionally the lenses they are still as good today as when I bought them.

Classic Googles These googles look just the part and actually work very well withan old fashioned helmet. They're well made and the lenses can be replaced if necessary. Posted on 13/11/2012 by R. B. Newman

Reeks of quality Beautifully made from soft leather stiched to nicely Chrome plated frames and with real glass lenses (an optional extra) these goggles fit beautifully and give a very authentic 40's look. The quick release lens retainer is a nice touch as is the rubberised back of the strap which stops the goggles from riding up on a crash helmet.Highly recommended. Posted on 13/11/2012 by Tony Ross

Proper Goggles Now these are "proper" goggles. The soft, supple black leather feels comfortable enough to wear for hours, either on your motorcycle or (I can only imagine) in the cockpit. Styled on the 1940's RAF design, these are not WWII replicas. Apparently Halcyon make those if that's what you need; ask for brown leather WWII RAF blue painted brass, PN 13-05860. As you might guess, original RAF goggles from the 1940's can sell for several hundreds of pounds nowadays. It's quite a saving, considering these are of such high quality. On the box it says, "3mm thick replacement lenses are fitted, either in laminated glass tested to BS 4110 OR in moulded and coated polycarbonate tested to BS EN138." These ones have BS 4110 stamped on the chrome-plated brass, so be aware that these are glass. Yes, glass and brass. I believe it is possible to have custom prescription lenses fitted if so desired. One last thing to know before buying MK49's; the different colours available. I think the chrome and black looks the best but you might prefer antique brown (or possibly the white leather if your name is Penelope Pitstop). Posted on 13/11/2012 by J/P
