Wiley X Romer II's; they have interchangable clear and yellow lenses and are really comfortable. I've been riding with them for 8 years. That being said, rather than switch lenses, I bought a cheap pair of shop safety glasses at Lowe's for less than $10. They work great, I leave them on the bike in my tool bag inside one of those cheap, padded glasses cases.

Dollar store ones rock! when you lose them smash'em sit on them or the kid's pull them in half no money lost. And some look pretty good too but hey it's yer money I just don't see the need to spend 75-250 bucks on sunglasses.

I have to second the recommendation for one of the forum sponsors: http://www.thebestmcglasses.com/

These are fantastic sunglasses and at $15.00 a pair they are an incredible value. I have a pair of smoked and a pair of clear- I love 'em. A couple of years ago I had a a pair of these glasses break at the thinnest point on the earpiece. They were replaced no questions asked! And these are $15.00 glasses! I couldn't believe it. I basically just wrote to the seller to give him a heads up on what I saw as a weakness in the glasses. He said that he knew some glasses were a problem and he sent me a new pair right away. He didn't even ask that I return the old ones. The seller said that his new glasses did not have the problem and two years and thousands of miles later I can see that he was right.
