Default Glasses flutter without a windshield

I have yet to find a pair of riding glasses yet that don’t get the wind under them “flutter” making my eyes water, I don’t want to wear goggles with the foam around them. Anyone found a good pair ?

Wiley X Climate Control Series. They work great. Not cheap, but they last. I have owned two pair in the last 10 years.

Oakley fuel cell sunglasses work very good for me.

I typically have fuel cells on, have worn oakley crank shaft glasses many times too and no issues. I don't think I've worn a pair of glasses that have had this issue though.

You just need a pair that has a solid nosepiece like the ones that are described above. Aviator styles are the worst thing that you can possibly wear. Also get a lanyard that you can tighten up around your melon.

I've had a pair of Wiley's for a long time , have my prescription put in them , when I need too , there perfect , have foam inserts ( removable ) that keep the wind from tearing up your eyes .

Exactly! I have the HD riding glasses with the foam - done in prescription. Expensive but well worth it! When we are out all day with friends, I switch to my regular sunglasses when we stop so I don't wear out with riders with sweating all day.

For night riding, I had a pair of old heavy duty frames (prescription) with a pull-tight lanyard. Worked very well but I still got air. Not bad for just 10 or 15 miles.

This year I used my benefits, for sunglasses-type frames with clear prescription. Yeah, my bag is filled with eyewear just to get me through the day. Don't judge LOL

I never knew what glasses those were, and more my price range , the expensive ones are nice but I would loose them or break them eventually
