Default Cold wind in the eyes, goggle recommendations?

I would like to get a pair of the aviation goggles to keep the wind completely out because the chill is making me cry...lol. Any recommendations on a wind proof pair without breaking the bank. Maybe in a yellowish lens? Thanks!

If you have a motocross shop near you they generally have a big selection. Ski shop is another option.

I typically don't wear a helmet here in Ohio. No prescription required while riding, just reading...lol. I like the Harley aviator goggles, but $150 is kinda high IMO. But they look old school and I like that.

If you don't need prescription lenses, then I'm with kokemill, check out Cycle Gear. They've got a decent selection of wrap-around frames with a foam gasket between the frame and your face. You might find one you like, and spend 30-40 bucks instead of 150.

The Captain Itch goggles are fairly inexpensive....not the most comfortable goggles for a long duration (4+ hours) for me but I still really dig them.
