If that doesn't work try biker who wears open helmet.. They usually wear cool googles. Or a motorcycle shop.

Welders goggles - just take out the glass and replace with Cling-Film :mrgreen:

Don't forget to put lots of holes to let out the heat or it will all fog up.

Haha Sean, only problem is that it's a vintage themed event :lol:

Coincidentally, my nickname when I was going to school was "beans" , my brother also had the same nickname. Thankfully it passed from me, but he is still known by that name, in fact I don't think I've ever heard his wife call him by any other name..and he's over 50!

Anyway, got kinda sorted, my eldest lad had laser eye surgery a few years ago and had to wear polarised goggles for a period after..a little tweaking with these and they almost look like the real thing.
Hey, we're long overdue a few drinks.........get yourself and the missus to a run before the year is out!!! :wink:
