Got a pair of Wiley-X Revolvr shades. No foam to rot (my last pair of Wiley-X) and they give excellent wind protection from all directions due to frame construction. I highly recommend this model. FYI-I just saw a full page ad for these sunglasses on p 49 of American Iron , Aug 2010 issue.

Wiley-X here. I wear contacts and they are great. Expensive but I scored a new pair off ebay for $25.

Maybe I'm the only one, but I don't like the Wiley-X. The little tunnels in the foam make dust swirl up in my eyes. Could be the fit. I usually go with cheap safety glasses. I was given some Bobsters (a Facebook deal) that are polarized. The polarization kind of freaks me out. I see colors and patterns that aren't there, and I don't think it's a flashback. However, I wore the Bobsters on my last trip - over 6,000 miles - and they came back in one piece. I've never had a pair last that long on the road. Also I have serious raccoon eyes, so I know they're blocking the UV rays.

As far as tunnels, I just push them down on my nose and hope nothing flies in my eyes. So far, so good.
