I've worn Guarddogs for years with no problems. I don't like the foam type so these don't have it. I wear contacts and don't have any issues with drying out or tearing. And I love the interchangeable lenses - easy going from daylight to night and when I scratch a pair I just get new lenses, not new glasses.
My gf has the Wileys. She took the foam off and likes them better without it.

I wear ugly googles and love them- (green ones) - the straight up dark ones are a little too dark for my liking. They fit over my perscriptions easily and that is a big +++++. I also wear some aviator style WW2 that I picked up in San Diego last year that also work well although I cant wear my perscriptions with.

I have 7eye transition lenses. I like them a lot. I had an older pair with the foam around em, very good protection from the wind. My current pair has foam also but not the thick full protection foam. The current pair is fine, yet I still can get wind in the eye along with debrix. I recommend the full foam insert glasses. Thing about the glasses is to pick the pair that provides the best seal for your face, the different models all fit a little different. The thick foam geseals so well it gets to hot to wear them in summer, so Iuse the ones with less protection. The ones with the less protection are much better than just sunglasses for sure.

I got a pair of hand-me-down Red Baron Goggles from Moms a couple years ago. The fake leather flaked off on the inside and the elastic is just now wearing out (after 5 years).

I gotta say, I love 'em! I don't know how (or if) the lenses are treated to reduce glare, but I can wear them day or night. They are vented rather well, so rain splashes in sometimes. I wear a face wrap and have to breath through my mouth to avoid fogging, but it's never been an issue for me.
This summer I'll have to buy a replacement, and I'm not sure I'll find something I like better (or at least better enough to pay more than $30).

I had a pair of HD goggles that I wore for a couple of years until the hinge at the bridge of the nose broke. I have a pair of Guard Dogs now that were about half the price and I like them more. They are more flexible and so they fit better and don't seem to fog up as much.

i have regular sunglasses that fit my face really well and have never once had a problem with wind, dust, nothing.
not motorcycle glasses by any means, they're made by a company named smith, beachwear/surfer glasses i guess you can say.
these are them
at night i wear a pair of yellow lensed panoptyx with foam inserts.

I went through several pairs of Bobsters... the foam kept becoming unglued on the three pairs I had.
Now I wear Halcyon MK9 goggles. Too old school for some, but I love them. Can wear the tinted lenses day or night and don't have a huge problem with fogging.

I now have a pair of Wiley X riding glasses and they work great. They come with a strap if you want to wear them more like googles but I cant stand wearing them with the strap on and they work great with out it.
I have the transitional lense but they dont really get dark enough so my next pair I will just get the tinted ones.
