I've been riding with Guard Dogs for about ten years now, have a set on each bike. I ride with and without a windshield under almost all conditions. For the price and performance I'm hooked. I wear the original Sidecars .... http://www.guard-dogs.com/shop/index.php?cPath=30

WileyX. Bought a pair from a HD shop last weekend....WAY nicer than the HD models. In fact went back and bought an extra pair. Because I wear contacts, I hate to have the breeze over my eyes which causes my contacts to get dry. I was a little skeptical at first as the foam doesn't fit flush to my face at the ends...but after riding with them I wouldn't use anything else!
I have the model SG-1 (a pair of 70's and a pair of 71's). Both have clear and smoke colored lenses. Both have a lanyard strap to hang them from your neck...if you use that sort of thing, and both will detach the temple piece that runs back over your ear and you can plug in the adjustable elastic strap (included) so you can wear them as goggles if that floats your boat.

Another vote for WileyX. Also, Bobster Eyeware (www.bobster.com) look ok. I've never tried them so can't vouch for them but reasonably priced.

Oakleys are GREAT for cycling...of the pedal variety. For a motorcycle, you really do need that foam lining. I personally always wear a full-face helmet, so I've just not invested in riding shades.

I have Gatorz Wraptor - they sit close so keep the wind out

I know guys that swear by the foam, I have never found a pair that work on my face. I've worn the old style "DA" glasses and they keep almost all wind out, the Guard Dogs I have do not use foam, but do not let the wind around, they stay on when I look around or back , for me they work. I agree, there are many that work, but it's a personal thing, all faces are different, what may work for me, may not work for you. You have to test drive them.

I tried the WileyX in a harley shop, and can't get used to the feel of the foam. I think everyone's face is different, and they seemed a bit narrow for me. I found a pair of Maui Jim polarized glasses at Costco that work great for me ($79). They are huge (think of the movie TERMINATOR!), but I think they look good, and the lenses are crystal clear. My wife teases me about them being the glasses they put on you after cataract surgery, but I like 'em!

I have the Wiley-X, with photosensitive lenses and foam around the eyes. Keeps the wind out of the eyes and they adjust to all lighting conditions. I've had them for about a year now and wouldn't wear anything else.
