I like my Panoptyx Day/Night for longer rides. Around town though I just wear regular sunglasses like BlackFlys or Bomber safety glasses.

Curv z are the bomb. I can get away with an entire riding season on one pair, then I toss them because the foam starts breaking down. At the cheap price, you can get several pairs at the price of the other more expensive ones.

I have perscription Oakleys that are terrific. Half Jackets to be exact. There are other quality brands as well, but as others have said, your eyes are not a place to go cheap. I wouldn't recommend throw away glasses.

Panoptx polarized are pretty nice. Too bad they don't make a day/night in polarized. Would love to not have to carry 2 pairs but I'm hooked on the sharpness of polarized lenses.

Serengetti makes some great Prescription and non prescription glasses.

I have a pair with prescription, shatter proof "drivers" lenses that I love.

Walmart, believe it or not, has some nice Serengettis in their Optical dept for around a hundred bucks or less.

$5 aviators from the gas station or local leather shop. Probably go through two or three a month. If I paid more maybe they'd last longer... maybe... last pair of nice ones I had didn't. Also, all the new trendy stuff is too small for my melon. Need full size old school aviators.

I wear Oakley's now, but just ordered some new Bobsters. I'll let you know what I think of them once they get here.

These are what I use as I cannot afford the high end sunglasses. The are pretty darn good and I am happy with them.

I wear Oakley "Monster Dogs" during the day. Have had them for four years. They're not even riding glasses, but they fit nice and snug, their polarized, and Oakley optics are top notch. They also never fog, and do a pretty decent job at keeping the wind out of my eyes. For anything over55-60 mph, I flip the face shield down anyway. At night, I wear a cheap pair of transitional riding glasses.

I found some Bobsters on sale and have had good luck with them. One set converts to regular sunglasses. The foam is great and keeps out debris. If I don't lose them, I should get a couple of seasons out of them.
