Let’s get right down to business here. You have only one pair of eyes and the threat of high-velocity projectiles taking aim on your face during a ride is a virtual guarantee. Even the most casual motorcycle rider has taken a bug, rock or some other object to the face, so it’s not a question of ”if” you get hit, it’s only a matter of how many times will you get hit during a single ride and whether those hits go to the eye. The plain truth is; riding a motorcycle without proper eye protection will at a minimum; get you a 100% probability of catastrophic eye loss and perhaps even death through loss of control. Considering the probabilities against you and the repercussions of failing to protect the eyes, this subject of protective eyewear could arguably be considered of even higher importance than even the highly touted helmet, and most definitely places it on the list of critical essentials.
