I've had a pair of the Wiley X "Top Jimmie" WX Z87-2 for the past couple of years ... just had a crappy set of $13.00 goggles I used before that ...

Paid around $140 as I recall ... kind of surprised I've had them as long as I have ... LoL ....

I just realized the Z87 refers to an ANSI standard of eye hazard protection ....

The Wiley X indicate the model designation on the inner face of the right temple piece (if it's not worn off) ....

* add a couple of additional observations:

I have the photo-grey lenses and find them pretty good ... if it is really bright, I might switch out for some darker 'cheap' sunglasses I usually carry in a jacket pocket ....

I have the foam eye-cups and the strap, as well ... never use either of them ... I tried them once and didn't like them ... the wrap around shape of the lenses keeps stuff out of my eyes and allows them to breathe well enough ....

I wear goggles religiously. When I got my first bike I bought 2 pair of the HD goggles. Those things fog up the instant you stop moving whether its hot, cold, damp, or dry. Sucks to drop that dime on bogus goggles, however, I found a pair from BOBSTER that come with interchangeable lenses. Work flawlessly, and cost about $30. I couldn't be happier. Now the lady uses the HD's... she's just a passenger.

 

I use the Wiley-X SG-1. They come with the strap, regular arms to wear as sunglasses, and clear and smoked lenses that are easy to change in a couple of seconds.

They're pretty popular with the troops in Iraq & Afghanistan. Got mine on Ebay for about $45 shipped. Seen them in shops for around $100.

They do fog a little bit, but once you start moving for 2 or 3 seconds, they clear right up.

 

Ahhhh KD's......classic old school biker shades; I've had like 30 pairs of them over the years. so cheap they're disposable and they work great. Don't use em muchy anymore since I had to go to prescription sunglasses but I still keep a pair of clear lense ones in my tool pouch for night riding.

 

I'm now in the same situation as you (prescription sunglasses). You can get lots of em with prescription lenses including WileyX but what I did was get a pair of wraparound Rayban Predators - took them into the optometrist and had them swap out the regular lenses for prescription ones. It was no problem and cost like $150 on top of the purchase price of the shades; works great for me.

 

I only wear goggles - sunglasses, even with foam around the lens, don't work for me and my contact lens. I buy in expensive goggles at motorcycle shows, picking up 5 or 6 pair at an event, as I end up scratching the lenses, sitting on them, leaving them somewhere or somehow destroying them (although a few have even just worn out form use). I go through 3 or 4 pair a year.

The only time I've had any problem with the lens fogging up has been in the rain - I live in South Carolina so its hot and humid here a good portion of the year.

I'd suggest picking up an inexpensive pair and trying them out.

 

I thought there was a guy on this site that sold the "Ugly Goggles", looked pretty cool!

 

Difficult finding what suits you personally..everyones face shape is different.. the glasses have to fit on your cheeks with no gaps and wrap around the sides.. Have used goggles like a previous poster and found them ok..glasses are a different matter.Picked a cheap pair up frome a petrol station a few years back,,fit like described above and do great.

Have a few pair of *Rudy Project* sport glasses from my mountain biking days,they work well too.
