I roll with clear safety glasses that I got from the local Autozone. $2.99 + tax if I do recall.

KD's are nice, biker style from the 50s, they make them clear and in sunglasses. I have sunglasses and they're cheap and nice, small design with a whole lot of peripheral vision. Found mine on Ebay

the curved (so they conform to the face) ten dollar Pugs sunglasses from my local BP station work for me during the day and I bought a bunch of curved safety glasses from Northern tool that work great for night rides and they were only a couple bucks each.

Some people like the foam lined sunglasses but I never found them to be comfortable myself (too much pressure around the eye socket and bridge of nose, goggles work better at that point). If going this route, I recommend buying from a store where you can try them on rather than ording online.

And I..........agree. :wink:

Then Wiguy05 sez: '$2.99 safety glasses...'

Now, let's see what that great Italian motor racer - Emilio LaMiglia has to say:

"MamaMIA! Dosa glesses alwaysa flyoffa my FAZE!"

Ya got that right, Emilio! Anything else?

'I putta 'em on.....taka 'em off.....MaFUNGUMAS! Dey a-scadatcha up!"

And there you have it, folks. Nobody knows better than good ol' Mr LaMiglia! :D

Greetings:

I've had my Wiley-X from HD dealer for 8 years. Lenses can pop out for swap to clear for night rides. I even had a set of prescription lenses made with a light tint for when I forget my contacts...

If you keep doing that you'll go blind.
Can I just do it until I need glasses?
