I am very nearsighted so it has to be Rx lenses for me.
My 7-8 year old Oakley Gascans are actually still in decent shape and I have loved them, but my prescription has changed and I shouldn’t be wearing them while riding.

so, I ordered 7eye Derby glasses with my updated Rx and photo chromatic lenses. They were north of $300! I hope they last as long as the oakleys

No outer rim to distract your line of sight either.
Yep just plain old safety glasses for the win!!!

Over the years, I've tried all sorts of pricey brand names - Panoptix, Wiley-X, Oakley, etc... and I keep coming back to plain old safety glasses. I buy them in 10 pack boxes (gray for day riding, and yellow for night riding) on Amazon. The price tends to vary between $15.00- $20.00 per box (so a buck fifty to two bucks a piece). I've seen these go for 10+ bucks a piece at MC rallies, and HD dealers usually charge 20+ a piece (but you get the HD logo on them, haha!). For what i pay I just chuck 'em when the arms come loose, or the lenses get messed up (which is actually very rarely).,

These are the ones I use:

Cheers!

I ordered a pair of 7eye Aspen, I have a peanut head and am a difficult fit. The website said these were ideal for narrow faces, we'll see.

I tried the $1 safety glasses with high hopes but too much air still gets behind them for me.

I have bought a few of these and love them. They are now the only glasses I wear on or off the bike. They have foam in them which helps with debris in the eyes.

They fit great and block almost all wind. Plus they are safety glasses which makes me feel like I have a little more protection than regular sunglasses.
They also come in clear for night riding.




Clear version of these are what I wear at night/ early morning.

Aulley Park on Amazon. Paid less than 20 bucks I think. They come with 3 sets of removable lenses, a velcro strap and hard case. They fit good and keep the wind out of my eyes.

Lightly tinted safety glasses work great for me. 😎
