I have a pair of panheads from 7eyes that have the photochromatic lenses, and they are great. You can go on their website and find a local eyeglass store so you can try on the different styles. They have replacement foam gaskets that I believe go for about $25. The key is to find the right pair that fits your face, so that they will seal up good. They reason I went with 7eyes over the Wiley is the 7eyes get much darker on their photochromatics. Having those for the early morning/evening rides is great. I wear them under a modular helmet.
I used to wear Oakley Holbrook but at $200 a pair they got retired quick. I started wearing heatwaves vise sunglasses this year. Love them and no wind get to my eyes. Plus they are safety rates so I get away with wearing them on the job site too
have you tried the ones with foam inserts?
I have Liberty's like Oko's (as well as other similar style brands with non removable foam)
I also have Oakley transitions without the foam (use them more for shooting than riding though)
because the Libertys are better for wind for "me"
if your eyes are still drying out too soon, goggles as suggested may be your best option (in leu of a full face helmet, faring and windshield)
They don't have to be large size goggles either.
Something along the lines of sports goggles may work
that strap keeps them tight to the face.
For that matter, an adjustable lanyard/strap on the foam insert glasses might do it for you too.
Lastly, do you carry eyedrops?
my eye doc recommended several. Of those, Blink brand is my preferred
Been spending a fortune on windless sunglasses, found google type the best. Then one day a friend gave me his Harley TAT glasses because he has a prescription gasses. Bar none the best windless glasses I’ve had. Bought a new pair because the others were getting a little ragged. $55 buck is the most I’ve ever spent on sun glasses, worth every penny.
Oakley crankcase sunglasses, they fit snug and wrap around your eye's.
rk classic.
You can also get some of those strings that attach to sunglasses like these, that wrap around your neck that you can tighten down. You know, the kind that lets the sunglasses dangle around your chest when you take them off. Get the kind you can tighten. Works great.
Wiley Rx for me. I have several "issues" that I need glasses to correct. The Wiley's are GREAT. I rarely use the foam piece that snaps in, but it's there is needed. As someone previously said...get them at a rally, or someplace you can try on several different frame choices to find the right one for your particular face.
Not cheap...but they work real well.
Any of those Oakley's, (the fuel cell's are good.) I'm using Ray-ban's right now. Not Balarama's, but similar.
Anything that style will keep the wind & crap out of your eyes.
Wish I knew the brand these are sold under, bought the 1st pair in Laconia
Used to wear them without a helmet in NH without a problem
Found them on EBay later & bought a dozen (mirrored) then later another dozen - plain
They are shatterproof, rock hit the side of one & took out a chunk, shatter pattern went all across the lense
Never knew until I arrived at my destination & friends wanted to know wtf happened to me
Made in China & UV400 only thing on them, cheap glasses but they work
Last dozen was years ago & EBay records do not go back that far
Did not see any at Laconia this year
