Good Thread .... I would love to find the "perfect" sunglasses that work well for when your on the scooter, and when your not. I have some Wylie Jakes that are great while riding ... but they are kinda "big". I'd like something like that, but with a smaller profile.

I had the same problem. I bought the ones from Harley with the foam around the inside and they come with a strap you can have on or off. Without the strap, the glasses don't stay tight enough to keep all the wind out, so unless I'm going full-helmet, I always ride with the strap on. I tighten it just enough so that the foam presses comfortably around my eyes. One added bonus is that they are day/night lenses so I can use them all the time without changing the lens. I don't remember how much they were, but may be more than you are willing to spend.

If the pair you bought doesn't have a strap with it, I would suggest buying a strap so that you can pull them tight around your eyes when you are wearing them. Wouldn't cost you much and would probably solve your problem.

I like these the best .http://www.sportsunglasses.us/windmaster.htm . I have a Pair of Panoptx , and also a pair of "the best" glasses . I bought them at Walmart , and they are better than the other two pair . I have the yellow ones . They darken enough in bright conditions to act as sunglasses , and they lighten enough to wear at night .

Guys go to the local Hardware store and buy some weather stripping that has the sticky on one side..fix your goggles,glasses,and that saddle bag lid that has been leaking for a couple of bucks...I use it when my Hard bags are vibrating its right up there with Duct tape..

Those wrap around safety glasses with the bifocals are great for riding....comfortable, and you can get them shaded or clear for night riding. Scratch 'em or bust 'em and it's no big deal (unlike losing or breaking a $120 pair of Oaklies). Work great in the shop for eye protection, and allow you to see things in great detail. They come in a lot of different styles....and employers have learned that people will wear eye protection if they don't look like 'birth control glasses'.

They have others as well that I have used over the years like the ICE. Another option.....
I've always found the Flyby to be a good and durable model.

I have tried all sorts of sunglasses and found that the ones that work best are the ones that are fit for your face real tight and are just regular sunglasses nothing fancy. I spend at the most 12 bucks. I ride all the time sometimes even in winter, about 32 degrees or so up here in northwest Indiana.
