I ride with a windshield 95% of the time. That still doesn't change the glasses I use.

The sunglasses I ride with are the Costa Man O War with 580p lenses. I also have the Wilex X Romer 3 glasses with interchangeable polycarbonate lenses. I had a pair of clear Rx lenses made for them for night riding.

Those two glasses cover me for all conditions (sun, clouds, glare, etc.).

I don't ride with a windshield and my Wiley X Jake's do a great job of sun and wind protection.

Wiley x Gravity is all I have ever worn. Mine are full blown prescription and the whole works. Work very fine.

I've worn Crews BlackJack Mirrored dark sunglasses for the last 8 yrs.
My eyes water easy and these have been as good as any I've found for me..

they cover my eyes so the sun doesn't come in over the tops and they are wrap arounds for good protection and have thin metal earpieces for long lasting and great side vision..

Plus they are Safety glasses and at the price they are you can buy several without breaking the bank..

Last time I ordered them I got 3 pair for sun and 3 pair of night.. Usually a little less than $10.00



here's a place I just found them on sale...

I too wear Liberty Sports prescription sunglasses that insurance paid for.
I liked them so much I bought a clear pair for night riding.

Since insurance paid the tab for the sunglasses I got them as bi-focals but the night riders are not.
I found that the bi-focals are moot when riding so I don't recommend that even if insurance pays for them.

i dont have a windshield or front fairing, I found these and love them! They are transitional so you dont have to sport 2 sets of glasses for all day riding. They also come with a head strap so you can turn them into "goggles" style.

I also found them on Amazon for a bit cheaper in price:
