Maui Jims. The best I've ever tried, and I have very sensitive eyes.

I think you get what you pay for. Although I'm about to check out Sorrel's link..

I found oakley's to be nice too, but the Polarized MJs were just infinitely superior.

I use Oakley's. My Maui Jim's are way too expensive to use on the bike. I just started using a pair of Under Armour that I like as well.

I love my Maui Jim Cyclones... however, my optician broke mine today during an adjustment. They will be replacing them, but are now only available in tortoise shell, not black

I don't like the current selection of Maui Jims, so I'm considering ordering a set of 7Eye Churada or Wiley X AirRage. The 7Eye are available with polarized lenses, the Wiley X don't seem to offer polarized lenses.

Got a pair of sunglasses from Target for $19.99. Polarized and do an excellent job keeping the wind out of the eyes. Work and look just as good as my $150 Oakley sunglasses that are all scratched to hell.

I use Oakley M frames with Sweep lenses, close fitting and comfortable.

I have used Oakleys for years. Since we lived in Hawaii for a bit the wife purchased a pair of Maui Jims. The lenses are far superior to Oakleys. My brother tried them on and said "I never knew a pair of sunglasses could help you see better." They really do. I just bought a couple pairs for myself at the PX when a cash register error caused them to ring up for $37 for MJ Sport model. Needless to say I went back and got another pair.

Default Maui Jim

I currently have a pair of Oaklys, and they are good, but they hurt my ears after riding a couple of hours with my 3/4 helmet.

I tried on a pair of Maui Jim's Kapalua, and the ear wires are so small, doubt you would know you had anything around the ear, and I have been wanting to buy a pair.

I also use the HD goggles which get dark when bright and light when dark, but some really bright days, they just don't get dark enough.

These are what I have (very steampunk). But I'm looking for much thinner (smaller) sunglasses as well.
