Don't know about the $15 ones. I use the Wiley X goggles. Work great with changeable lenses. Dark lenses are better than my Oakleys[8D]

i have some 6-dollar pair from HD. Also have a pair of Wiley-X, but I've never liked them (they were free.) My problem with goggles (or googles, if you prefer ) is the fogging issue when you're idling. And the rings 'round your eyes when you take them off.
So there's this pair of 1980's RayBan "black cats" that I wear, big square lenses, but they don't let any air by.

When I was looking for goggles to fit over my glasses, I found a pair from Airfoil that are tinted and very light and comfortable on my face. They only cost me $30, works for me.

I have a pair of PanOptx (upward of $100) and like them a lot. They change darkness with light condiotin and that's a real convienence. However the foam gasket is pretty shot and a replacement will set me back $30. I don't think so!!! I've held them together with glue so far. But I also bought a cheap pair (around $15) at our local leather shop and they work great. Only thing is they are sunglasses and don't have interchangable lenses. But for $15 I'm real happy with them. They keep the wind out of my eyes (also with foam gasket) and do what they're supposed to. Sorry, don't know about the ones on here.

Just for what it's worth...my experience is don't skimp on the eyewear. Get good glasses and goooogles. Just my 2cents worth.

For the money Panoptx with a doubt. The speed series is the best. Get mine on e-bay, Most retail for around $120.00 I have 2 pair for my self and my wife has a pair. Got her pair for $30.00 I think their chubbasco retail for over a $100.00 got mine (chinook modle) for $35.00 and they retail for over $120.00 so you can get good deals. I also have the Wiley-x and they are good glasses, but the Panoptx are by far the better. Just my opinion.
