Totally agree with safety glasses, work great. Check the racks at the discount stores usually find ones that fit good and give good protection from wind for about 5 bucks.

I tried so hard to find a pair of 7eye that fit my face, 3 glasses later and its a no go. I ride without a shield and their glasses would not work for me. My cheapo glasses are my best pair, and a pair of bobster w/ 3 lenses.

The yellow rocks!

I usually wear these. Get em at Grainger for about $12. Makes sense seein as how we gotta wear safety glasses at work all day anyways. They have the same with just a light tint as well.

I bought the Wiley-X Ink model with prescription transition lenses before last season and absolutely love 'em. Got them from my eye doctor, which I won't do again cause I had to pay for Wiley's lenses and my doctors lenses. The Ink model frames look badazz too!

The removable foam eye-cup works fantastic, and the venting works great.

I have the true Transition lenses (not Wiley's version,) and the lenses get as dark as any sunglasses I have ever owned.

I'm an Optometrist who's patient base is 70+% contact lens wearers. I have access to most every frame line available and personally wear Wiley X's Air Rage, Brick and SG-1's.

If at all possible, it's best to try them on (their website has a dealer locater tab) because each frame style fits a bit differently and the closer they contour to the shape of your face the more wind blockage they'll provide. They have replaceable foam inserts that really perform quite well.

They have the best warranty and return policies and easily is my first choice over other brands I've seen.

Moreover, from the outset of action, they have provided excellent support and consideration to our overseas forces and are sought after for the protection and quality they provide.

My choice, on every level.

Ride Safe

I purchased a pair of "Cocoons" from my Optical store. There the best I have every wore. I have a pair of riding gogles, but they fog up when I'm not riding.

I wear a pair from Wal-Mart . They are yellow with foam around the lenses . They get a little darker in sunlight and lighten again at low light conditions . I prefer them over my Panoptxx (now 7 eye) .
