Maui Jim model Kahuna are the best. I've had the same pair for almost 10 years. I also have some plastic frame Maui Jim models and a few pair of Tifosi's (great for the price with lifetime warranty) but the Kahuna's are my favorite.

Oakley polarized flak jackets. On my second pair in the last six years (left my first pair in a cafe in Sigonella, Italy).

Before I started wearing glasses, I used Tinted Uvex safety glasses, they lasted me years.
Now wear prescription welding glasses.
Cannot beat freebies.

I have a pair of Wiley X but I barely wear them anymore after I bought a pair of sunglasses and clears with a foam seal from Gander Mountain Sports for about $15 each. I don't know the brand, and don't care. Had them for over a year now and wish I never spent $75 on the Wiley X's. What a waste of money that was. I honestly cannot see how the Wiley X's are any better in any way then these $15 glasses.

Oakley Fives. Same frames 8 years. Replace the polarized lenses with a new set about every 3 years. Best wind protecting glasses I've ever had.

Being that I'm cheap, and ride an Ultra, I get by with Remington Shooters sunglasses for day, and yellow lens for night. Recently, I started wearing prescription glasses, so I order them in an aviator style frame with Transitions lens, which does it for me.

That said, I still get some air in my eyes and the occasional piece of dirt, but that's okay. I pay about $8 per pair. Safety glasses work well at night too.

I used the cheapos with the foam, forever. Now that I have my first ever windshield, I can use my oakleys that we found laying in the middle of our road. Very little wind compared to no windshield.
