Persol

But, it depends on your bike. I don't need foam or wraps because the fairing protects me. I just need protection from the uvr's or the occasional bug that makes it past the batwing

Im a cheapo foam class kinda guy... Most expensive pair i have are 25 dollar hd branded glasses. I drop, scratch, break them too often to invest in a quality pair.

I have a pair of Wiley X that I can change the lens in and also has the foam that I can take off and on depending on weather and conditions. Very nice set and I got them for 50 bucks new off of ebay.

I'm an old geezer and place an real high value on my vision. My eyes are worth way more than $25 drug store specials. I ride a Glide and even with a windshield I wear Wiley-X. I see the pirate wannabes on Low Riders with cheap shades, doo rags or toy helmets and wonder if they have ever hit a June bug at 70? What we in the northeast call June Bugs would shatter the el-cheapos in a heart beat. You guys in the far west, how about slamming into a swarm of morman crickets?

**** happens, wise up. I once caught a seagull in the head, just like "Wild Hogs".

OAKLEY--- 3 pairs, Oil Drum, Crosshair, and Felon. Yes I got protection with the fairing and all, but you only get 1 set of eyes and I treat em right. Oalkeys are all safety rated and the fact they are crystal clear is a bonus.

The HD safety glasses are not bad for the price. ($20 or so last I remember)
