Liberty Sport Biker Sunglasses

Liberty Sport Biker Sunglasses Review

Marci over at Liberty Sport sent me over a pair of BikerSunglasses to ride with and evaluate. When the package arrived I opened it upand inspected everything and it was quite a package. Included were a pairBikers Sunglasses, a Liberty Sport Eyeglass Case for the glasses, a LibertySport Strap, a F8 Cleaning cloth, a pair of MagTraxion™ Magnetic Dry Eye Eyecupswith a storage pouch, and of course, instructions. All these items made this acomplete package and a great value for the price. You can even get the lensesin prescription if you need them.

Here is the Information from their website:

8-base wrap aroundlens curvature delivers excellent peripheral field of vision.  

Raised eyerim back lipprovides additional lens retention.  

Head hugging, flexibletemple design fits comfortably under most helmet designs.  

Plano frame comes withLiberty Sport Ultimate Driver or Ultimate Outdoor polycarbonate premiumperformance sun lenses:  

Passes all GlobalDriving Standards.

Hard Coat PremiumScratch Coating.

100% UVA & UVBProtection.

Comes with semi-rigidcase & adjustable strap.  

When inspecting all of the items the first thing that hit mewas how good the quality of everything was.  The glass frames themselves, felt strong anddurable, even at the hinge area. The strap was strong and had a uniqueproprietary way to attach to the frames.

I believe the lenses supplied were the Ultimate OutdoorPolycarbonate.

From their website:

Designed toaccommodate the visual needs of the outdoor enthusiast. Lens is extremelyuseful in forested and offroad environments when faced with variable lightconditions, providing low light contrast and good bright light protection.

Amber lens with bronzeflash mirror coating.

The lenses were crystal clear, accept for the tint. They seemedto brighten things up a little like blue blockers or yellow shooting lenses.For riding in the bright Texas sun I would prefer a much darker lens choice.The way that they wrapped around, they provided a pretty good field of view,though not as good as frameless ones like my Oakley’s.  However, with the MagTraxion™ Magnetic Dry EyeEyecups, they provided much more protection when riding on windy days.

Here is some information from their website about the MagTraxion™Magnetic Dry Eye Eyecups:

Eyecups made fromsoft, hypoallergenic rubber.   

Eyecups conform to theoutside curvature of the eye to trap humidity and block moisture-sappingwind.  

Removable eyecupsprovide maximum peripheral coverage.   

Magnetic eyecupssecure easily to frame using MagTraxion™ technology.   

Converts fashionablesunglasses into soothing, dryness-blocking eyewear in seconds-it's like gettingtwo frames for the price of one!   

Comes in a pair.    

 I rode with the LibertySport Biker Sunglasses for a couple of months this summer and the view andprotection was excellent.  The fit for mewas a little bit small with the frames coming under my eyebrows, which I didnot care for. I rode with them along with my half helmet and there was nointerference at all. They stayed in place real well and I did not even have to usethe adjustable strap.

   

The case was a black, semi rigid and made of nylon. Though alittle bulky, the case provided plenty of protection but not as much as a hardcase would have. Clean up of the lenses was a snap with the supplied cleaningcloth. 

After I rode with them for a while I turned them over to myson Jake to ride with them and provide feedback. As much as I liked them, He likedthem even more and fell in love with them. I believe they fit his face betterthan they did mine. He has been using them now for several months andeverything he has said about them is positive.

I would have to say that the value and quality that theLiberty Sport Biker Sunglasses provide makes them a great choice for anyonelooking for a good set of riding sunglasses.

My Leathers - A Bikers Poem

My Leathers

My leathers have been with me since I started motorcycling,

I tend to wear them whenever I’m riding.

They are faded from the elements, stretched and saggy fromuse,

but they still keep me from taking abuse.

My leathers bare the scars, scrapes and abrasions from a fewslips and some spills,

and my leathers still keep me warm from those morning chills.

Despite them being my body guard we have become old friends,

going on long rides together taking on hills, valleys andbends.

My leathers have sheltered me from the rain and from the fog,

they even have blocked the bite of an angry dog.

They have protected me from flying rocks and from bugs,

and have been on the receiving end of many hugs.

My leathers have shaded me from the blistering sun,

on a long, dry and hot Texas run.

Over time they have become supple and comfortable like awell broken in boot,

as a bonus, there’s a place for my gun in case I need toshoot.

My leathers are getting old, wrinkly and are slightlytattered,

but they continue to protect me from getting battered.

They have screened me from the wind,

and they will stay with me to the end.

But at the end of this long ride,

it’s not just a cows hide,

It’s my skin.

Bates Boots Revisited

Bates Boots Revisited

I wrote a review in June of "09 of Bates E02264 5" Defender Tactical Boots. Well they have served me well for quite some time and as many miles at work, and for riding. I finally wore the tread just about clean off of them. They are a little worse for wear but the zippers and everything have held up just fine. So fine, in fact, that I went out looking for a new pair. Here are some photos of the worn out boots:

I could not fine the same model at the local Academy Sports & Outdoors around my area. So, last month, I went with the Bates Men's 8" Tactical Sport Side Zip Boot. They are a little taller and don't have the composite toe protector, but have all the same features:

So far, the new pair have been holding up just fine. Some of the best features of these boots are that they  increase your machismo and sex appeal. They also have fantastic traction. The best feature, however, is their easy on and off with the side zipper. These Bates boots definitely was made for ridin'!

Motorcycle Helmet Photo Collection

Motorcycle Helmet Photo Collection

Motorcycle helmets are not just for protection. They are also an expression of the personality of the individual that wears it. They are also an art form all of themselves. They can be personalized and decorated in various ways including stickers, stick on decorations, pinstriping and custom paint.

Here is a collection of photos that are helmet related that I have collected from across net. Some are just works of art and are not even DOT approved. Others are humorous and quite entertaining. Then there are professional racing models with custom paint jobs, some very famous. There are also some vintage helmets and replicas of famous helmets from a bygone era. All are beautiful works of art in their own way. 

Ride on,

Torch
