What kind of sunglasses do you ride in? I prefer my Oakley Gascans!

I love the Oakley Gascans, but I also wear Whiskers and Square Wire 2.0's depending how I'm feeling.

But if I'm doing any sort of distance, I wear some of those riding glasses with the foam. No name brand, but they fit my face great.

Went with Wiley-X Brick because of my prescription. Light adjusting, so I don't have to change glasses when it gets dark. When the foam insert is removed, they make a pretty good pair of Rx sunglasses.

I've always wear goggles. I've been thing on switching to glasses. but goggles are cheap and block the wind.

I like my Guard Dogs and have 2 pair. One I keep the clear lenses in for night riding. Around $40 a pair and they don't break because the frames are nylon.

Do the oakleys block the wind?

Both my bikes have wimpshiealds so I just wear aviators. Cheap ones like Panama Jacks or my Pugs.
