RE: Decent Goggles ???
I have these from the local Stealer, they are the streamline goggle (for iddy biddy girly heads)
My husband has the overpass style:
You can't see it in the picture, but they have the skull logo on the outside - I'm dead jealous about that as I have a skull thing going on
I love them, really comfy, no air leakage at all, and I have the transitional lenses which are awesome. They go dark enough that I'm not even tempted to switch in my regular sunglasses lenses and I can't stand not seeing properly, I've never known transitional lenses to be that effective before I got these.
I'd recommend you take a mosey on down to the stealer. My local one carries both Harley's own brand and Wiley X. Every brand and style is slightly different, and it would serve you well to try them all on to see which fits your head the best. Thats the key to not having air leakage - the fit is everything.

What brand are these please? And, are you a contact wearer?

Both my goggles and my husband's came with two interchangeable lenses - a clear and a sunglass lens, they also have removeable foam cups so you can use them just a straight sunglasses. We brought the transition lenses too - but they now come with those lenses. Like I said before, I think they are freaking awesome.
I don't wear contacts regularly, although I do have a tinted pair, with a slight prescription. I've not actually worn them and ridden. However, I have a corneal abraision, and I can't deal with any wind in my eyes at all, or my eye wells up in floods of tears and so far I've not had any trouble with it, using my streamline goggles. But I definately reckon you need to try them on rather than order a pair off the net, or you won't know what fits your face, and I think its the fit that makes a good pair of goggles really great for someone.

RE: Decent Goggles ???
I went to a local bike shop and bought a non brand set of padded glasses. Dark lens and they work as well as any pair I have owned. I think it is about fit. I have zero problems even on long windy days. Don't get caught up in paying for their advertising, which is most of the cost. Go find a comfy pair that fits you and you will be happier then with a name brand that may not. IMHO. It cost lots of $$ to advertise and you pay the difference. Good luck and ride safe.
