They have all types of eyewear. Goggles and glasses and ear protection.
They even carry HD Eyewear. I have found the quality very good and the prices very reasonable. Delivery is quick.

I wear Wiley-X Airbornes in daylight and Wiley-X light adjusting ones (I can't remember the model) at night. The light adjusting ones just don't get dark enough for my taste in the daylight.

sun glasses when sun glasses will do, goggles when goggles will do. seems simple enough. No matter what kind, brand, type or style you get they will all last about the same amount of time...road wear, airborne grit, etc will wear down the lenses on all of them. I get my gshades & oggles at a local yamaha shop. I've found that the ones designed for watersports are the best fitting, longest lasting. And they run around $12-14 bucks a pair. I usually get new ones every couple of years...assorted lenses in both.

Ray-Ban Predators for me with my white cane prescription. I would really prefer Oakley's, but I can't get my script in the old M frames.

It depends on the bike I'm riding and where I'm going... meaning whether or not I'm taking the highway or city streets. For non highway riding I wear either Oakley Full Jackets, Half Jackets or Ray Ban Wayfarers and if taking the highway on a anything but the EG I wear HD transitional glasses with the foam attachment. I wear contacts and the wind can be brutal at 90+ mph. I've lost a couple of contacts before on the highway and it isn't exactly fun.

El Cheapo 3 for 15 buck, swap meet/flea market specials work for me. I keep a pair or two in my saddlebag and a pair for each vehicle. There ain't no crying if I lose or break a a pair.

Coastal del Mar, can't remember the "style" they're about two years old and quite a few scratches. They fit pretty good until it gets foggy or its raining, then i don't think it matters what type u have.
