Default Good Glasses

I'm new to the riding world, just got a 2015 Wide Glide last week. I bought a half helmet and a cheap pair of $20 glasses for the moment. The glasses are functional (with the little buffer around the edges to reduce wind flow), but could be better.

I was wondering some brands to look into that people have had good experiences with. I feel like I'm getting crap in my eye constantly. Thanks in advance.

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

Whatever pair you decide on make sure that they have a solid bridge across the nose. It'll keep your eyes from watering like mad. Aviator styles won't work.

I like brand called 7 eye. I think below is a site that usually has pretty good prices. Way cheaper than buying the same thing at the HD dealers

The link ali has other brand like Wiley X which also seems to be a popular riding glasses

+1 on the KD's. I love my Rayban Wayfarers but won't ride with the glass len's KD's work just as well and my eyes hardly ever water with them. Some times a strong crosswind might make my water a bit.

I have and like 7eye and Wiley X, both in goggles and both transition. Guess between the 2 I prefer the 7eye as they have a strap that can be tightened to reduce flopping around should I decide to take off fairing or shield.
