I bought the G102's in grey (day) and clear (night) with Polycarbonate
lenses in my prescription.  They "missed" on one, sent back, got right
ones back.  Not bad for $100.  I'm pleased and would recommend.
I dont wear contacts, nor do I like a facesheild.

These goggles go inside the helmet... I wear a doo-rag, then the
goggles (with the strap going up high over the back of my head)
then pull the helmet over on top.  The doorag helps keep the goggle
strap in place, and is a "washable liner" that keeps most of the
sweat out of my helmet.

Dont know - this is the first I've tried....
Before these, I used GI "Dust, Wind, Sand" goggles which are
$12 at Army surplus and fit over small glasses... Not bad, 
but kinda big.
