Default I need me some ridin googles

I wear a half helmut and my sunglasses suck and I recently lost my clear lens (cheapy night glasses) that I use at night. I dont ride at night much but enough that I need some clear lens.

Can you recommend some goggles? I just want the full protection of a goggle v. the sunglasses I have been trying to get by on.

Thanks

I use Wiley X SG-1 with dark and clear lens and a pair of HD riding glasses which have the foam around the frame and they auto darken. I like the Wiley X better cause they fit my face better.

I use Bobster Crossfires. Very low profile and no more sunglasses bouncing around from wind baffle. Bobsters are fairly affordable as well (around $20 for these). They make a lot of other nice goggles as well. Link below.

Dumped the shades for goggles and should have done it sooner. Went with guard dogs.

I use Wiley-X prescription glasses. They have non-prescription as well. Mine came with removable foam inserts, two straps, and a case. I also had some extra tint added. The foam helps keep other junk out of your eyes. With the foam removed, they appear to be more like a regular pair of glasses/sunglasses than a goggle.
