Hello:
Now that the warm weather is here, I am riding with my 1/2 helmet or none. I have some Wiley glasses
with the seals around the edges but to really keep the seal I have to push 'em into my eye sockets...and I still get movement and wind rushing-in...which equals blurred vision...not good.
Do you wear goggles? What are your preferred types/brands? I am thinking goggles will do a better job...and I need the neoghbors to stop laughing at me whan I wear my SCUBA Mask! <not>
Thanks!

I can't remember who makes them, but I picked up a pair at Barnett in El Paso. They have three lenses. Blue sun glass, yellow tinted (for over cast), and clear for night. I also wear the yellow at night sometimes, really brightens everything up, haven't had issues with oncoming headlights either. I love the glasses. They have removable arms, to attach a goggle strap (although I have never needed it), and the rubber around the frame is removable, if I just want the sunglasses feel. I find that at events I ride to, I sweet around the eyes if I don't take off the rubber seal. Has a cloth/nylon cleaner and a bag that has a loop to attach to my belt or a plastic buckle to snap on a belt loop. I bought them for $39 bucks and were worth every dime. Many different eye appearal configurations. Next time I am down in the garage, I will find out who makes them. I love 'em , and see no reason to ever buy another pair. Here is a pic with me wearing them. They had the sun lens in grey, but I found that the blue really fit better.

They are called "Sport & Street" by Bobster Http://www.bobster.com
I just got another two pair...been wearing them for years and keep replacing them with the same by whoever is making them at the time as they *are* the most comfortable and convenient I've come across.
