I have a pair of HD wileyx Tunnels they have vents in the foam that let's the air through to prevent fogging. I've never tried them with the foam in,but it seems like a good idea
ESS Rollbars for off road. I took a fire road rock hard to the lens, not even a scratch, just felt like a punch. I would lost an eye. Strong frames with swappable lenses. They seal against my face nicely without an irritating cushion.
I'm still wearing the old 80s ANSI Gargoyles for everyday. Haven't had one catch the wind yet. I wear them out all the time. Between shooting and riding they've saved my eyes many times. Very comfortable and protective. I've used the warranty several times.
I have a big head so choices are very limited for me.
I need the bifocals and these are one of the best bifocal riding/safety glasses I've came across for the money. You can also get them without the bifocals (and more lens color options). Elvex has some other interesting options/frame styles/features, but the bifocal options are more limited.
Features:
Bifocal
Lens Coating: SuperCoat™ Anti-Fog
Adjustable temple arms (adjust to angle of the lenses to match your face and provide a better seal)
Removable gasket. It just clips on and off. Can remove the gasket and wear as simple sunglasses (never really do this myself). Also gasket can removed for cleaning (makes the glasses much easier to clean and you won't get the gasket wet if you run the glasses under water to clean).
I've worn them with a half helmet on both of my bikes - one has a windscreen the other is naked. These glasses perform very well on each bike.
I’m a fan of Maui Jim’s. Plus they have a great warranty. I’m not a fan of transition glasses. In situations where they need to change, they are too slow. For example riding in a shaded area, and then ya pop out into the sun ya get sun blinded. I prefer my Maui Jim’s,,,and if I run not the shade…I lift them up.

If you haven't tried them lately, they are much better than they used to be. The ones I have change almost instantly, sort of like a welding helmet does. The last 10 years or so I never notice any lag going in to or out of a tunnel or light to shade.
I've had the Wiley X and would recommend them. I currently have two pair of Liberty Rx transitional. One pair(like the Wiley X pictured above) with removeable foam inserts and one pair of smaller frame wrap-arounds without the foam. Most of the time I wear the smaller ones without the foam.
I use DVX brand is lower line from Wiley X, from Walmart, I have a strong RX, they are a safety frame and have eye cups to get the thick lens in.
They are just a good solid wrap around, transition lens and no line bifocal, do the job day and night
Anybody have a source for cheaper glasses? I tried some online venders and after I get done price is up to 600.00 bucks. Hell I dont even want to pay 200.00
