I doubt you'll find many blue hairs wearing these

I use Oakley Fuels with Rx Lenses (Bi-Focals at that) Large lenses, and a wide sidearm, they are better than the WileyX's i used to wear.

I wear my rx glasses which get darker and lighter (forget what its called). I also have a Scorpion EXO-100 helmet with the drop down half shield. I love that...a quick flick and its down for highway or whatever....

They look pretty cool. I'll let you know when they come in.

got a pair of riding sunglasses with single vision lens ( instead of my normal bifocal) for about 100 bucks at wal mart opticians, wrap around biker style frams medium dark tint that I like for overall riding going to get the same frame in clear for nighttime, good protection and omr cofortable than goggles over glasses , do have a couple pair of goggles one dark one light for heavy rain or really high wind

The Mrs has to wear RX glasses for riding or whatever and the only way for her is to use a 3/4 helmet with a drop down shield with a dark lens. not polarized lenses cuz you see rainbows thru your windshield (says she hates that and it's distracting).

Goggles (or more correctly foam-lined safety glasses) for me. I have a clear and a smoked pair of Global Vision Outfitters. They cost about $10 each. Helmetless, they are super bug-eyed. Helmeted, they don't look bad at all.
