Default Keep Sunglasses from moving around

Wonder if anyone has any suggestions on how to keep sunglasses still while riding and not moving around. I have a LRS shield which works great but no matter what shield I use my sunglasses move around slightly.
When I press the center above my nose I can make it stay still and vision is better because signs and everthing else is not blurred from the movement. I know a tighter fitting pair may be the answer but for a long ride it would not work after awhile tight fitting glasses don't cut it. Anyone else experience this?

Try a good fitting pair of decent goggles.

Google Chums or Croakies. They both sell models that will hold the sunglasses snugly on your head.

Duct tape. Under the chin, between the ear and eye, over the top of your head, repeat on other side in opposite order. I know, I know, it will never stick to the top of your head with all that hair. Shave a little strip on the top of your head, and problem solved.

Tune in next week when we answer the question; How do I keep bugs from flying in my mouth?

I am on a diet and am not sure I can wait until next week to hear how to keep the bugs out of my mouth. I am watching my protein intake carefully and the bugs I am consuming are throwing me off track. I don't have time to search the Internet for the nutritional value for each insect so I just want to keep them out of my mouth.

I wear ray ban wayfarers, they stay stable at high speeds.

ran ban aviators are about the worst I've tried, too much turbulence behind the lens

oakleys are pretty good, but since my eyes went and I wear a prescription the wayfarers hornrims are the way i go.

Roll a small piece of Gorilla tape under the bridge on the glasses,
now when you push there it will stick to your nose....
If that doesn't solve your problem you could possibly try a staple gun
with 1/2" staples.....

Best bet would be to change your seating height or windshield height
to alter the flow of air.

I prefer finishing nails to 1/2" staples since I have a finish nailer, and only a manual stapler.
