The temperatures are starting to fall and will soon stay that way.  Most of don’t want to stop riding our motorcycles but find that the cold wind against our faces makes it harder to stay out there.  One of the solutions that I’ve found over the last couple of years is to use a neoprene face mask.

During the winter your face is probably one of the hardest parts to protect when riding your motorcycle. Bandannas don’t offer enough wind protection or warmth to make them useful. Scarves tend to come loose and be a nusance, not to mention a safety hazard.

The neoprene face masks are designed to provide you with protection, comfort and safety. There’s a great selection of face masks so check them out today.

Proper fit and personalized style are two main objectives when selecting eyewear.  Face size and shape determine what styles will fit comfortably while balancing your features.  To make the best selection, a complete understanding of different types of faces will make it easier to choose the style of glasses that are best for you.

Oval Face Shape

This face shape is considered to be ideal because the proportions are naturally balanced.  It is the most versatile shape as most eyewear is flattering to this face.  To keep the oval’s natural balance, try frames that are as wide as (or wider than) the broadest part of the face.

Try: Square shaped frames with rounded edges or eyewear with high temples.

Suggested Style: Bobster® Sport & Street ™ Convertible, Bobster® Sport & Street II™ Convertible, Bobster® Road Hog ™ Convertible , Bobster Fat Boy - Transitional (Light Adjusting) Lenses, Bobster Foamerz, Bobster Eyewear Gunner with Photochromic Lenses

Round Shaped Face

A round face is curved with both the length and width equally proportionate.  For an elongated, thinner appearance try angular narrow frames to lengthen the face.  Deeper colors such as black or tortoise also minimize fullness.

Try: Wide frames with angular or rectangular styles that pull attention upwards.

Suggested Styles: Bobster® Road Hog ™ Convertible, Bobster Foamerz, Bobster Eyewear Gunner with Photochromic Lenses, Bobster Invader with Photochromic (transitional) lenses,  Bobster Road Master with Transitional (Light Adjusting) Photochromic Lenses

Diamond Shaped Face

Diamond-shaped faces are narrow ath the eye and jaw lines with cheekbones that are often high and dramatic.  To highlight the eyes and bring out the cheekbones, try frames with distinctive brow line or rounded styles.

Try: Oval shapes or rimless eyewear that softens the contours of the face.

Suggested Styles: Bobster Foamerz, Bobster Eyewear Shield, Bobster Eyewear Raptor, Airlock from Bobster, Bobster Eyewear Stinger

Square Shaped Face

A square face has a strong jaw line and broad forehead with the width and length proportional to each other.  Reduce the angles and compliment this shape with frames that slightly curved around the edges.

Try: Classic oval or cat-eye style frames

Suggested Styles: Bobster Eyewear Stinger, Airlock from Bobster, Bobster Eyewear Low Rider, Bobster Sport and Street

Oblong Shaped Faces

An oblong face is longer than it is wide with an extended cheek line.  To make the face appear shorter and more balanced, pick styles that have vertical depth and don’t extend past the widest part of the face.

Try: Round or square frames with decorative temples for a wider apperance

Suggested Styles: GX Sunglasses from Bobster Eyewear, Bobster Sport and Street,  Bobster® Road Hog ™ Convertible, Bobster Spektrax

Triangular Face

This shape is defined by a broad forehead and narrow mouth and chin.  Frames with a thin rim and vertical lines will help balance the bottom part of the face.  Avoid large frames, bold colors and square shapes.

Try: Cat-eye, angular, or rimless frame styles with very light colors work well with this shape.

Suggested Styles: Bobster Eyewear Low Rider, Bobster Eyewear Raptor, Bobster Eyewear Shield, Bobster Blackjack Sunglasses

In our constant attempt to meet the needs of our friends and customers, we are always adding new products and styles for the sunglass and eyewear needs of bikers and motorcyclists.  Just recently we added the great line of sunglasses from from Pacific Coast Sunglasses.  This includes the original biker sunglasses the Original KD’s.

Harley riders worldwide know us for The Original KD’s sunglasses. This little black framed sunglass was originally worn by hardcore bikers in the 1950s. They have remained the #1 selling biker sunglass because they stay on your head and keep the wind out of your eyes by fitting tightly on the temples and nosebridge. The new, improved KD’s are now lighter in weight, have longer slimmer arms for better peripheral vision, fit more comfortably under a helmet, and have fully wired temples for extra strength and adjustability. There are now 20 different lens colors available.

In addition, we’ve added the line of Classic Wraparound Sunglasses offered by Pacific Coast Sunglasses also. The classic wrap around look of these glasses reflect the time honored tradition of biker sunglasses. The classic design of these motorcycle sunglasses reflects the functionality to protect our eyes from the wind and flying road hazards while providing the ultimate in styling that bikers demand. In addition all of these glasses provide 100% UV protection.

Within the Classic Wraparound Sunglasses are a pair of sunglasses that really fits the requirements when wearing sunglasses with a full face helmet.  My wife and both tried the glasses on with our full face helmets and they fit very comfortably.  These are the Skinny Joe’s.  These glasses are available with Smoked Lenses, Clear Lenses, Silver Mirrored Lenses and Colored Mirrored Lenses . Classic Styling, Comfortable Fit, Extreme Protection and Great Value.  These are a great pair of glasses.

We just added a couple of brand new sunglasses from Global Vision.  These are the Tracer Aluminum Spray Frame Sunglasses.  They have the distinctive wraparound styling that is so important for motorcyclists and bikers to keep the wind out of our eyes, and have lenses that are safety certified to protect us from flying projectiles.

For a long time we carried a line of American Made Headwraps that we were pretty proud of.  They had lots of styles and colors that the motorcycle enthusiast truly loved.  Problem was the price point was to high for the likings of our customers.  In addition the reliability of the supply just wouldn’t cut it in terms of the standards for service we require for our customers.

As a result we found a new supplier that has an even better selection, value and reliability.

Whether you call them headwraps, head wraps, doorags, doo rags, dorags or skull caps they are one of the true accessories that define the biker.  Not only are they a statement of what we believe, feel and think, but head wraps are a practical necessity to protect our helmets.

There are literally going to be 100’s of choices in these American Made DoRags.  We are going to try and make the selection as easy as possible by providing the following classifications of our headwraps.  Click on any of the Categories to see all of the biker doo rags included in that category.
