SGTJET210,
I have the Windspoilers that I bought in 2002 at the Atlanta Harley Anniversary kickoff rally. The IBEAMS are the best!! I cant wear the foam glasses as they make me sweat and then fog up. And they are much more than just sunglasses....these are eye protection glasses......with interchangable lenses I can go from daytime to night time with clear lenses......what are you wearing? They have some new styles now for less money but not interchangeable lenses or the hinges.....

I wear Oakley Flak Jackets almost always on my rides. Sometime I will throw the M-Frames on. I have clear, amber and dark polarized lenses for both frames. The M-Frames are like a tiny fairing on your face, the Flaks are a more traditional sport frame. Both are shatter resistant and I have to wear the like for work (USMC) so I just ride with them since I have them. Never have my eyes watered or been bothered by wind which the Flaks do not block all of as the M-Frames do block most. Ride On

Which pair do you find you wear most? I may look into some M-Frames again. I haven't had a pair of those in eons.
It's true what they say about Oakley, once you get a pair, you'll never go back to anything else. The optics are just amazing! However, I have yet to experience a "pro" regarding my polarized lenses. I've had these new shades about a year, and still think I got ripped off on that. At least my older pair didn't put funny looking circles on tinted windows, and make it impossible to look through anti-glare surfaces. Other than that, I really enjoy my shades.
I have to agree with a lot of the other people on here, I can't stand the foam linings...but, since I traditionally wear full-face, I don't worry about it.

I usually wear Wiley X, either Romer II's or SG1's. The SG1s with strap instead of ear pieces (they have both) do the best job of blocking wind. Nothing without a strap is really going to keep wind out.

Discussing eye protection is akin to boots; a very subjective topic with many views. Anyways, I recommend Gargoyle Classics. Yes Terminator glasses. They're light, wide FOV, ballistic type lens, and rugged. I've been wearing the same pair since 2005 and that includes two trips to Iraq where they were subjected to sand, sun, and abuse. These are now my riding glasses and I'll buy a duplicate set when these wear out.

bolle spirals, tight fit to yer face, polycarbonate lenses, i use the polarized lens. after every thing i've tried, i put a pair of these on and it was like seeing for the first time. you can probably see/try a pair on at sports authority or google a dealer near you, good luck..
