Default Night Ridin'

I've been lookin to replace my lost Rayban clear lense glasses for night ridin, but they don't seem to make them anymore. I originally got them at the CHP Acadeny in Sacto, but they don't have them anymore either (at least on-line).
I wear a 3/4 helmet and am now searching for eye protection for night time. What do you guys wear?

I wear a face shield on my full face Nolan. You can also get clear (or tinted) face shields formost 3/4 helmets.

Clear glasses from the local HD shop. I think they're $7. You can get pretty much the same clear safety glasses at any hardware store.

Clear saftey glasses. When most of my riding was in town I thought that yellow was the best, turns out when there is not much light to enhance they suck. I do still wear the yellow on cloudy and rainy days.

When I have to ride at night I use inexpensive clear safety glasses -- yeah I know they're not as cool lookin' as Raybans, but WTF it's dark out.

Above 40* I wear clear safety glasses, the wrap around, bubble type, if you've never tangled with the 'squitos and bugs in Mn, they get EVERYWHERE, right MnVikesFan?
Below 40*, I use red baron type googles to keep the eye ***** from watering like crazy. Must be an Ol' Fart thing, cuz they never used to do that. Gumby

I got some shatterproof vented goggles from my local army navy surplus. $10.00. I think I need to cover some of the vents though cuz my eyes started to water on the freeway.
