Keeping goggles secured while riding on the highway
Most of you know I come from a sportbike background and am used to wearing full face helmets. I've been slowly coming over to the dark side and wearing half helmets when I ride. I enjoy the feeling of the air on my face and the unrestricted feeling of freedom they provide, and am wearing them more and more often. The only problem is at highway speeds, I find that my riding glasses (clear or tinted) bobble around a lot. I fastened some Croakies to them, normally used for boating, and that seems to do a pretty good job at keep the glasses glued to my face.
Does anyone have anything else they use that could attach to any pair of sunglasses?

This is when I ride with a half helmet. Just looking to see what everyone else wears to help hold glass on their faces. Don't know if perhaps there's a particular method that's more commonly preferred.
I have used a pair of panoptix glasses for the last 10 years, work well for me. I have heard good things about WileyX also, I think that is who makes the glasses that Harley sells. I like the foam eye cups and if you get the right fit they don't move around too much.

If your shades are flopping around it definitely sounds like your helmet isn't the proper fit for ya.
I wear the wrap arounds.
Purchased a new HD 1/2 helmet w/ flip down visor a short time ago which helps keep them put when doing an eye check changing lanes.
If all else fails, a little Gorilla glue on the nose piece always holds.
