Seems they are 'Swans.' Nothing special, I guess.
They've sat on a helmet for years, maybe that was a contributing factor to the decay, though unpadded sponge padding is not a good design idea to begin with IMO.
Yes, I ride bikes, though my old bike wont be ridden for a while; it threw a rod last riding season. Ive never heard a more disgusting metallic sound in my life and Ive never applied the brakes so fast either.
I recently bought some Leon Jeantet goggles, which Ive wanted for some time (bottom pic).
They've been made like this by hand for over a hundred years. A classic company (Jeantet goggles sold in the UK by Davida, which is company that make some nifty riding stuff themselves (dont know who markets them in your neck of the woods - if any)).
I was how ever disappointed by the very flimsy construction of the goggles and shifted them in short order.
Now I just said to heck with it and wear issue sand/sun goggles from the sand box.
They are Wiley X and have interchangeable clear/tinted lenses.
They work after a fashion when riding, if it isnt too hot and only if you are moving.
In the desert they were 'carp,' as the padding restricts air flow and make the lenses steam up if not in the slipstream when sitting in a vehicle.
For running or other exertion which might happen suddenly in the sand box, your body temp will steam them up in no time flat.
This was a tangent - now back to the regular scheduled programming
