Halcyons handmade classic motorcycle goggles/ classic aviator enthusiast goggles!
Made to Last a Lifetime – Most modern goggles and eyewear are mass-produced using plastic moulded components, this is even the case with other traditional style goggles. Halcyon goggles are different, they are made using the same materials and manufacturing techniques that were first used 70 years ago, with dozens of individual operations to take a solid sheet of brass and refine it into the finished product. A considerable amount of time and care is spent on manufacturing a Halcyon goggle all of which is done within our factory in Hertfordshire, England. You will not find a single piece of plastic on our Mark 49 goggles, only chrome-plated brass, stainless steel and real leather – materials designed to last a lifetime.
Customer Feedback:
On Comfort “Now these are “proper” goggles. The soft, supple black leather feels comfortable enough to wear for hours!”– J.P
“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 were 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!” –T.S
On Style– “Let me first say: these are excellent goggles: comfortable, safe, effective, stylish. Then there is the social aspect. These goggles attract attention! I ride round the world with these goggles – India, Pakistan, Nepal, Iran, Cambodia, Vietnam, Lao, Thailand, Oz, Myanmar…..OK, so I am showing off – but it’s true, and every place I went, these goggles were a show stopper.” –P.L
On Durability – “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.” –R.A

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).

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.

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.

Very impressed with the delivery speed and the service when I called to order them.
The goggles are really superb quality, believe me, I have a super critical eye for quality, and I cannot fault these goggles anywhere. A real credit to your workforce who make them.
Thankyou, and hope to be a future customer,

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.

Does the job well
The Halcyon Motorcycle Goggles is a great product and fantastic for long rides.

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).

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.

Excellent goggles and the flirting effect is fabulous!
All technology comes with a social aspect, and this is probably more true of motorbike goggles than many other things.
Let me first say: these are excellent goggles: comfortable, safe, effective, stylish.
Then there is the social aspect. These goggles attract attention!
I ride round the world with these goggles – India, Pakistan, Nepal, Iran, Cambodia, VietNam, Lao, Thailand, Oz, Myanmar…..OK, so I am showing off – but it’s true, and every place I went, these goggles were a show stopper.
And before you young guys start thinking the scene is all yours: I am 62, I ride Harleys, Enfields, BMWs, vintage stuff – and EVERYWHERE, despite my senility, I get admiring glances and questions about my goggles.
My current standard response is: ‘Biggles, Captain, RAF retired, and what is YOUR name?’
You probably have to be over 50 to get the joke – but in any case, these are great goggles!

Just what I wanted.
Comfortable, effective and aesthetically pleasing. Good value for money. Don’t expect glass lenses unless you specify but plastic ones are good.
kenny brown –
love them……
Received them a few weeks ago. Fit great, easy to adjust.
Definately recommend them, if you are thinking about buying a pair i would suggest that you just do it…
Jo –
Quite cool really!,
They look great – more substantial than I was expecting. The nose adjusters work well making a snug fit.
Got them for my chap to use as protection in the shed so can’t comment on how well they work in the wind!

Just what I Imagined
Needed the Mark 49 in Black leather to use as goggles for windy conditions when driving my Black 1962 289 Superformance Slabside Cobra.
Best thing I did, I know I am a ham and a bit of showoff at times but what fun.
When you pull into a car show wearing these beauties, it draws so much attention that it must be illegal.
Get a pair, life is too short.

Quality product
They certainly are everything the description said they were, well made, comfortable, a perfect fit with the adjustable bridge bar

Quality Goggles, but don’t work with most open-faced helmets
The goggles themselves are of excellent build and quality. I sincerely wanted them to work. The split lens didn’t cause any viewing issues. They felt comfortable on my face. They were adjustable. Everything was great, until you tried to wear them with a helmet.
Understand, the product description states “suitable for wearing over open-faced helmets.” I did not find this to be the case. I own multiple open-faced helmets – different brands, different shapes and sizes. We have multiple riders in my family. Before shipping these goggles back, I desperately wanted to have them work for somebody. But no matter what open-faced helmet was used (3/4 helmet, half helmet, skull cap, etc) and what face was in the helmet, every helmet would push down on the top of the goggles, making them slide down a couple inches, so that they would sit uncomfortable over your cheekbones and nose, rendering them useless. It wasn’t just about discomfort. You could not see through the goggles at all.
Now, perhaps I got one that was built poorly. Comparing it to the picture above, the leather surrounding the goggles seemed almost twice the size that they should be. But whatever the reason, these goggles didn’t work for any of the 5 riders, and over 15 helmets we tried.
