I was issued a pair of Wiley X glasses/goggles over here and have been saving them to use for riding when I get home. I like the little foamys around the eyes for wind. Plus the lenses are easily swappable and they came with both clear and tinted.

Have you tried on the Oakley "Asian Fit" glasses? I know Oakley makes almost all of their models in what they call Asian fit, which I would assume are just wider.

The cool thing is I still have my amber lenses, so I will still have the protection while I wait for my new prescription lens.

Good for you if they protected your eye. I have a pair of X-SG1 with 4 different lenses and it's sitting on a shelf in my garage. They're too big for me. It's a 1 size fits all but you better have a big head cause they don't fit snugly on mine. Only way not to see them fly off when I ride is to tighten the strap behind my head, something I don't like to do.
I wear a $15 pair of riding sunglasses bought in Myrtle Beach that fit me much better than the $150 X-SG1. Go figure!

I have a pair of WileyX JP-2s that are sadly discontinued. I twice snapped the removable gasket in half. ( my fault both times ) I called them directly and they sent me a replacement both times at no cost. Nice to deal with a company that stands behind a product like that. Not too many out there like that anymore. They now have a customer for life due to that kind of customer service.

I have 2 pairs of wiley's that I was issued while in Iraq. I don't wear them because they don't fit well. I found some classes that are safety glasses made out of polycarbonate. They are called Bomber glasses. They look good and fit well. You can get them in almost any color you can imagine. I have smoked for day riding and clear for night. Best part is they cost $9.95. Check out there site. Right now they are offering free shipping.
