RE: Motorcycle Glasses
Some times I wear my Serengeti sun glasses as they get darker in bright sun but the optics remain good otherwise I usually wear my HD Glasses with goggle attachment and black & clear lenses. Not sure which type as they were a gift but I had to use a hot air gun on them to get them to fit as they were as tight as hell with the helmet on.

RE: Motorcycle Glasses
I usually wear the five dollar cheapies - and they've always worked great. I decided that I wanted something even better, so I was at the dealer and they were all raving about the PanOptix. I bought the ones they showed me and... I HATE 'em! The wind goes around the 'gasket' so much it's like its not even there, and road sand and grit actually can get trapped in there till it gets lodged in my eye. The annoying part is my dealer won't take them back, so now I have a $125 reminder that I screwed up. Rrrrr!

RE: Motorcycle Glasses
I've tried a LOT of different riding glasses, and goggles, and my favorite is slimline Bobsters. I have a narrow face, so most glasses allow dust to enter in the outside corners of my eyes. I carry tinted ones for day, and yellow for night.
Those of you who only feel the need for the cheapest a$$ crap glasses, once you experience "pigs eye" you will think a little harder about good sealing eyewear....

RE: Motorcycle Glasses
My biggest problem is not wind or dust but the sun. I have some pretty dark sun glasses but the sun shinning in my eyes is a real pain..........and dangerous too.
My helmet has a visor but it just doesn't do the trick. Any suggestions.....other than ride only at night !!

To expensive and since I use to wear glasses I'm pretty **** about keeping them clean and I starting to make the soft part from them that goes between my glasses and my face. It great for keeping the wind out of your eyes though and have interchangeable lens which I consider a must. I might look into the wile-x ones in the future or at a bike event later this month if they have a vendor.
