I've been using a set of bobsters, for day, and a clear set from the local HD shop for nighttime. Seeing as how I have to wear my cheaters [read: prescription glasses] that's on hot days. On bad weather days I use a full face.
Have you tried a helmet with the visor built in, that flips up into the skid lid?
I have several pairs, but find that I use my H-D Profile Performance day/night glasses with foam inserts the most, especially on cold days. I think I prefer them because they happen to fit my face/head perfectly. Optically perfect too, and become darn near clear in the dark. Lenses are supposed to be interchangeable, but I never tried removing them.
I use Panoptx (old company name) auto-darkening, now they're called 7-eyes. Kinda pricey but the lenses are ballistic rated and I've been using the same pair since 05.
I have several pairs of Wiley X SG-1's from prior deployments but my new favorite pair is the XL-1 advanced. The rubber seal is removable so they can be used as regular sunglasses or goggles and the lenses are changeable.
+1 on WileyX. The key is to get the right model so that they fit your face perfectly. If they don' seal around your cheekbones and eye sockets, they will be nothing but frustrating. Try on a bunch and get the right fit. The WileyX's that I use also have lenses that adjust and have the removable gasket. Been using them over a year and still love em.
+1 on the panoptix
I have had mine since 2000 - They were not cheep - I have sent them back to panoptix 2 or 3 times to replace the foam
I love them I use them day and night
