Default Sunglasses? What do you like?

Probably discussed before but search didn't turn up anything. Got my eyes fixed so no longer wear prescription glasses. I am not interested in aviator style and not interested in paying over $100. Whatcha got?

For riding... Recommend gasketed riding glasses or goggles. Some examples that aren't too pricey...

I've personally have worn Bobster's. They've worked well for me.

Might also recommend looking at photochromic. They work well enough for me and are convenient if caught out past sundown.

Thanks for the links. I forgot to mention I wear a 3/4 helmet with a shield. So wind isn't an issue.

If you don't need to worry about wind then I might take a look at Suncloud.

I've had a few pairs of what they now call Switchback for years. Excelent polarized glasses for the money IMO. You can find them at various places. REI for one. Or online. I got them for $40 before. If not your style - peruse their website for what else they've got.

I ride a CVO Ultra with all of the fairings, windshield, fork air deflectors, fork air baffle, hand wind deflectors and both of my helmets (1/2 & FF Mod) have drop-down shields.

Even with all of that, a couple of years ago, somehow, something managed to get past at least my windshield and my "regular" H-D sunglasses and into my eye!
My eye looked horrible for over a week and that's when I made the decision to never wear sunglasses on a motorcycle that didn't have the protective foam and were not impact resistant.

Found these riding glasses at local HD store, $48 ,high quality lenses, gaskets with interchangable lenses. Been riding with Wiley X for years , these are 1/3 price and so far perform great.

Ray ban the Justin model in polarized. Def more than 100. But any sunglasses will work or buy goggles that would be funny

Oakley has killer quality optics. Liberty Sport with the magnetic inserts for rain. I have both.

Original KD’s are good, Oakleys, or the ones with foam eye seals for cold weather rides.
