Good Glasses

I never cared for the look of a windscreen on an HD, so I'm running without any wind protection and when I ride with a half helmet I need eye wear that can truly keep the wind out of my eyes, I've experimented with different sunglasses but they still allowed too much wind in so I've gone to wearing goggles, dark tints during the day and set of clear mirrored is kept in my jacket for night riding, I'm also keeping a pair of sunglasses in my jacket pocket for when I'm off the bike. With goggles there's zero wind intrusion and a very comfortable ride, no more running down the road with tears streaming down my face
Edited to add: Pro tip if you're going to try goggles I cut the straps on all my goggles and remove the adjusting buckles, nothing like a buckle under your half helmet smooshing your brainbox. With the straps cut I put the goggles on and determine how long the strap needs to be and my woman, the sewing marvel, stitches the straps back together for a custom fit... much more comfortable that way

Safety glasses from Menards.
Look like Oakleys. Great wind protection.
Many ways to adjust the fit. Anti-fog & scratch too.

I was using oakleys and then in rain or at night switching to clear glasses, it was a pain. My brother had a set of Global Vision Eyewear 24YT Kickback Sunglasses so I gave them a try. They have yellow lenses but transition to smoke in the sun, now I use them day or night. J&P has them for $35 here
Thanks for the listing...just ordered a set. I kept getting dust in my eyes today with my Oakley Radars on.

Yep this. Just Google "tinted safety glasses" and you'll find them for under $3 a pair. I dropped my last pair of $40 HD glasses on the garage floor and scratched the shyt out of them. About a year ago I bought 4 tinted and 2 clears (6 total pair) for under $23 so now if I lose or scratch a pair I just throw them away and grab another pair. Btw, these cheapies block the wind so no watering eyes.

Ive always wore oakleys for regular sunglasses but they don't make good riding glasses for me. I wear regular safety glasses sometimes but if I go over 50 mph they let the wind in. So the only thing I've found to keep the wind out is glasses with padding and strap/ goggles set up.
But they aren't shaded so I guess my next chore is to find some shaded lense goggles, pisses me off but I literally can not see because the wind makes my eyes water so much. It's pretty dangerous riding around all blurry eyed with limited vision.
