Default eye protection - keep wind off of eyes

http://www.aerostich.com/product.php...cat=300&page=2

Last year when I drove to Sturgis my eyes got really dry from riding all day. I want some sun glasses that will keep the wind off of your eyes. I do not want to wear goggles. Somebody told me the ones at the URL from aerostich are good.

Glasses are like seats and handlebars, they fit everyone differently. The key is to get a pair that wraps tightly around your nose and eyes so no wind gets in. I bought a pair from a kiosk in the mall for $15. They have the foam around the frame and they work great. I went back and bought 2 more pairs.

Like FLHX said, the wrap around type work well. I found them to work better for me than the ones with the foam. But hey, maybe I got a warped head. I know my mind is a little warped every now and then.

Panoptx glasses. They don't have the annoying strap around your head and seal all the wind out. Best I've ever used.

I also use Panoptyx - some people find them unsuitable but, mine were fit by an optician and they do work. I have photogray transistion lenses in mine.

Use these right off our site here. They are equal to or better than my $150 pair.

I use Panoptic with the gray transitional lenses. They work great. You can get them cheaper on line than at your dealer but you can go to the dealer to choose the style and size then order on line.

I use Panoptix also. A little pricey, but the best riding glasses I have ever worn. An added bonus is that they transition from clear to dark in the sun.

I use my good ol Oakleys I have bought a second set that serves as "night time" and "shooting" they are yellow lens. The Oakeys are great at blocking UV and are very tought lens, used to wear them on flightline working on jets.

I wear the same glasses but choose without the strap. They do the job. In the summer when not moving they can fog up due to the heat and humidity. Still a good choice.
