Oh I did. I appreciate all the responses, well constructive ones anyway. Gave me a lot of ideas to look at. I can assure you I don't give a flying f**k what anyone thinks about the glasses I wear. And Jesus loves me.

If you like Oakley but hate paying a high price for their prescription sunglasses and you are active duty military, veteran, law enforcement, or first responder, check out Oakley Standard Issue. They have really good prices on both prescription and non-prescription stuff. I wear an Arai full face with their pro shade system, so I don't even wear sunglasses under my helmet anymore.
You can't get the Oakleys in Bifocal/Progressives from AFE or Oakley Standard Issue though.
You have to log in to get prices and they generally have a 50%off lenses deal going.
I got Wiley X Arrows in polarized progressive lenses with scratch coat for $240

Geez, what's more poser than an internet Harley tuff guy bashing somebody for asking a simple question and looking for a few answers.

I use the ones with the bifocals in the bottom. I get them from the vendors at the Rally's. Foam around the eyes to keep the tears in. I have a day pair and a yellow night pair. I was using Oakleys until I found the magnifiers. I am so used to them I can't see my dash without them.

Has anybody used the Ugly Goggles from Capt. Itch? Was thinking about getting a pair but not sure if they'll work with my full face Gringo helmet.

I got tired of replacing expensive Oakley's. I'm rockin safety glasses now, tinted for sunny days & 50/50 for overcast & night riding. At $8 a pair they work great and if I scratch or loose them, who cares they are $8
Are you an ******* in real life too or just on this forum?
He is simply asking what works and what dosent, and you come back with that?

The only thing I wonder now, is ... if you have to counter steer your head... does it shine the HEADLIGHTS where you're going... or where you want to go???
On topic, I respect everyone's opinions to wear whatever they like. Even cheap safety glasses MIGHT be good enough to protect your peepers... however, I had a rock (or something, I can't promise it was a rock) kicked up from a car years ago. Left a nice dent in the glasses I was wearing (gargoyles IIRC) and I've gone out of my way to wear glasses that I feel will protect my eyeballs the best ever since. I'm currently riding with Oakleys Ballistic Shocktube TR22. They're touted as "shooting lenses" but I LOVE the detail they provide. And even though they're not "wrap-arounds" I have zero issue with wind in the eye or tearing up.
