what glasses or goggles have you found that cause the least amount of tearing up at high speed. Can't seem to find any that don't keep my eyes from watering once I hit 50-60mph.

these are what I wear, the foam seals up to prevent wind and/or rain from getting in your eyes

I wear a 3/4 helmet with a flip up face shield. No complaints.
Not this helmet but like it....

I have 2 pairs of the $35 Harley goggles with the foam around them. One pair is smoke lenses the other is yellow. They work decent and are alot better than regular sunglasses.

I bought this helmet last week. It is the best helmet I've had and I can wear my street glasses with it. Although it runs small. I normally wear a m or l and this one is an xl, and it fits perfect. The shield slides up in the helmet and the small visor keeps the sun out of my eyes.

since I have to wear prescription glasses, I went with the Wiley X's with my script. the foam keeps the wind out.

I have been using ordinary safety glasses that have a solid bridge across the nose and cover back to the outside corner of my eyes and never had a problem with watering eyes at any speed. In fact it seems that the most important thing is good cover across your nose - that area takes the most direct hit from the wind. Wire rims just won't cut it. But everybody's face, nose, head, etc is shaped differently so what works for me may not be good for you.
