I wear cheap-ish Body Glove sunglasses. Look great, comfy fit, and have decent lenses.

I've never thought expensive sunglasses were worth it. El-cheapos aren't great either (usually don't
fit well and end up being painful and uncomfortable). Middle of the road baby!

3M safety glasses for riding. I keep a pair of fashionable ones in the saddle bag. I don't think oakley, ray ban or maui jim are ansi-rated for impact.

Oakleys. I have several pairs. Theyre all designed to excede z87 safety standards and the optics are great. You dont get a second set of eyes

I bought these Epoch Eyewear that are comfortable and impact resistant. About $30.
