Just so all you know, I ended up getting the Wiley X Curves and they work AWESOME!!!! I have a smaller frame head so it's perfect. No more watery eyes!

I've got a $12 pair of shade 3 welding goggles and they work fine.

I bought a set of Freedom 24 Transitions for under $50. They have the rubber/foam pad and can be converted to goggles. Not as attractive as Oakley's but I like the transition option.

Oakley Fastjackets. Pricey but quick change lenses and contrast lenses are great.

7eyes Churda (have removeable foam insert) work well especially when used with a Croakie to hold them snug.

For $5.00 KD's are good as well.

Been wearing Wayfarers and KD's for years. No padding in them but they do keep the wind out.

It's all in the design. Jezzz you think riders had padded glasses years ago? I sure don't remember any. Ban's or KD's and some good goggles for the cold weather.

I have a couple pair of goggles with foam surrounds that I keep in my bag. One is tinted, the other clear. Otherwise, I rely on my Shoei full face, or more often, my Oakley Oil Rigs or Big Dogs. I think the trick with sunglasses is getting wrap arounds with large lenses. I really like goggles too - but they're sort of a pain.

Maybe that's the problem? lol One pair is just sun glasses and the other is the translucent kind and both of them let air in my eyes to the point of them watering so much I can't see very well. I don't wear prescription glasses or anything. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
There's a ton of choices you have. Bobster is one of the best lines for functionality. They offer convertibles that allow you to change your eyewear from street to riding to goggles. This may help with your problems with eyes watering. Most of Bobster frames have removeable foam and usually come with two styles of foam..Some of them come with three lenses. Clear, amber or yellow and grey. They are mid range on pricing but well worth it. They also carry the best warranty in the industry.


You can find them here http://www.bikeroptix.com/5_bobster

Blackjack and Roadmaster are a few of our best sellers.

Hope this helps...
