Most of you know I come from a sportbike background and am used to wearing full face helmets. I've been slowly coming over to the dark side and wearing half helmets when I ride. I enjoy the feeling of the air on my face and the unrestricted feeling of freedom they provide, and am wearing them more and more often. The only problem is at highway speeds, I find that my riding glasses (clear or tinted) bobble around a lot. I fastened some Croakies to them, normally used for boating, and that seems to do a pretty good job at keep the glasses glued to my face.
Does anyone have anything else they use that could attach to any pair of sunglasses?

Or, you could get perscription goggles...
Get 2 pair~
1 tinted
1 clear (for night.)
www.sportrx.com makes 'em for riders...

I don't necessarily think it's your half helmet, as I use a half and goggles without issue. I've found that some of the best looking glasses aren't sometimes the best riding glasses. Ensure the gasket on your glasses seals well against your face and that should be good. If not, maybe change brands...

Sounds like a fit issue. The riding glasses I use, have foam paddings and the shape is curved to kinda wrap-around my eyes. They never bobble even at 95+ mph with half helmets.
As someone suggested above the best-looking ones are not always the most functional riding glasses. My generic brand glasses are WAY better than my HD photo-chromatic glasses with flames design.

"Take off your wind shield, and your glasses will no longer "bobble". "
Nope, just the opposite for me. No 'bobble' with the windshield on.
I've found that if there's too much space between the bottom edge of the glasses and my skin I get the 'bobble' effect. I've also used, with good results, the type that have the foam 'gasket' around the edge of the glasses.
