I have a narrow face and finding a pair of Sunglasses that fit has been a challenge from time to time. My favorites for comfort are the Ray Ban Predator 2 (P/N: RB2027 W1847) Sunglasses. But they do not meet the ANSI Z87.1-20093+ impact standard. Next in line are my Wiley-X Curve (P/N CCCUR01) Sunglasses and they meet the ANSI Z87.1-20093+ impact standard. However, it looks like this model is no longer being made. I think their Airrage Sunglasses may replace the Curve Sunglasses.

For Night Time, I use a set of clear Safety Glasses available at any Home Depot or Lowe’s that meet the previously mentioned ANSI impact standard.

In any case, I have found two types of Sunglasses to be more trouble than they are worth. For me anyway: First, Polarized Sunglasses. If you have either a Windshield on the bike and/or if you have a Plastic Visor on your Helmet. Using Polarized Sunglasses gives all sorts of random and pretty rainbow colors when looking at, or worse yet, through any sort of Plastic Window. Second are Transition Sunglasses. If they worked fast enough and there was enough difference between Lite and Dark I’d love to have them. But, in my experience, they don’t get nearly dark enough when they are Dark and the transition from Lite to Dark or Dark to Lite takes far too long when going into and out of tunnels.

I've tried many different sunglasses, and in the long run $10 gas station specials that I'm now worried about losing are what I generally wear. The trick is they have to look "right". It's subjective, but I know the right pair when I try them on.
