So what is about the coolest type of sunglasses that you guys wear when you ride? I have looked at several, but know there are better out there. Just wondering what the general thought was.

I have a cool pair of WileyX's. I use them here in Iraq and riding, too. Good balistic sunglasses with a removable foam liner. Some of their products are hit or miss, though.

I've never spent much on my riding glasses.

I wear some riding glasses I bought at Walmart.
I also wear some that I've gotten at different bike rallies.

Again, I never have paid much for any of the several I have, but they work just fine.
They all have the foam lining and do a good job of keeping the wind out of my eyes.

Maybe one day I'll get an expensive pair of riding shades and see what I've been missing.
Buying cheap for now is nice though...I don't get too pissed when I accidentally drop or step on my cheapos.

Wiley X and Panoptx, my wife and I use both (and as I mentioned in another thread, I have 2 new pairs of Panoptx for sale, "Diablo and Whirlwind" if anyone is interested).

My wife andI were in a bad accident this summer and the Wiley X's she was wearing took a real beating, but they didn't shatter or come apart......asfar asI am concerned, they saved her eye sight.
