Bobsters. I can wear these with a doo rag and don't have to worry about the head gear flying off because of the elastic head band attached to the glasses. They've lasting a very long time now too (for me). About a year or so.

They are well made with the good neoprene rubber inside.
Here are more of the same brand ...

You just don't want to have two polarized lenses in series, if both your windshield and your glasses are polarized, your view will go completely black when you tilt your head.
Also, you don't want to have photochromatic lenses behind a windshield/faceshield that blocks UV light, or they won't work.
Personally, I wear Wiley-X "Bricks" (with RX photo lenses) most of the time with no issues.
When I'm wearing my FF helmet, I wear my regular glasses (the Wiley's won't fit in there anyway) with a tinted faceshield.

Figures out to be about $2 a pair when purchased 12 at a time....
When I drop them and they get scratched....toss 'em and
grab another pair from saddlebags.

+1 on the RayBans,
Mine are polarized AND I do look through my stock windshield. The only thing I get from time to time is the rainbow effect on the windshield depending on the angle of the sun. That wouldn't deter me from buying another pair of polarized sunglasses though.
Another note... a good buddy of mine bought a pair of PanOptics that supposedly change tint from dark to clear. After about a year, he noticed they don't get as dark as they used to in sunlight. He was told by PanOptics and the folks at the Harley dealer that was normal. After about a year or two, the tinting effect becomes less and less. So much for a $150 pair of sunglasses!

I wear Wiley X polorized. Love them, but a couple drawbacks for polorized. First, there will be a rainbow effect in the windshield (this does not bother me because I look over my windshield, so not problem for me). Second, they are not very good if you have to look as some of the electronic screens, i.e. gps, i phone, gas pump, etc. If I have to read something on these types of electronics, I usually have to take the glasses off to be able to see them better. Of course I'm 60+ so some of this may be because of older eye sight.
