Default aviator sunglasses

Riding season is almost here & was wondering if anyone wears aviator sunglasses? Also what kind works the best for men.

I do, but only when I'm in the jet.

I prefer some riding glasses.... I have prescription riding glasses with transition lenses. They fill both day time and night time service. Mine wrap around slightly.... I think I'm on my third pair (prescription changes and time) and like the way the wind flows around and not behind my lenses. if I happen to wear my street glasses, I notice the wind seems to come in behind my lenses and is a bit irritating. Not extremely bad, but noticeable.
But this is me personally.... I have not had aviator glasses in over 20 years!!

I used to years ago, but switched to Wiley X's to keep the wind out of my eyes. Makes for a MUCH better riding experience. No more tears.

Aviators are not suitable for motorcycle riding cause they are not shaped to cut the wind and they are not shatterproof.

I went from ***** X, which didn’t cut enough glare, to Maui Jims.
