Oakley Radars and M frames. Both give good wind protection.

RE: what sunglasses do you wear while riding?
I buy the cheap pair of $20 Ironman sunglasses at Target about every 15 months or so. So far they've been the best at wind deflection, and are some of the lightest and clearest sunglasses I've worn!
I'm pretty hard on sunglasses, so spending alot of money on something that won't last me very long is kindof pointless. I also have a pair of cheap $20 clear shades for night riding, and for the times I want to have major raccoon eyes, I have another pair of cheap $13 goggles that I purchased at the dealer (actually 2 pairs, 1 smoke lenses, the other clear lenses).

This same thread was recently on a sailing forum I go to. For everyday wear and driving, I like Ray-Ban aviators, but for sailing and riding, I like hardware store industrial safety glasses. Tough, good optics, great UV protection, wrap-around, adjustable, cheap, and if they get broken or lost, they're easily, and cheaply,replaced.

HD of course! lol
My sunglasses move around too much at over 65 mph. I'm thinking of going to a pair of small goggles that strap around my head to reduce the affects of the wind.

After many years of expensive glasses, some glass and not plastic, I switched about ten years ago to Home Depot/Lowes plastic safety glasses. They're impact resistant, polorized and block UV rays on the cheap $8-$15 dollars come in clear and various tints.
