For cheaps I like the Bobsters. They sell them around at some of the local shops, they have a removable strap, dark, amber, and clear options, and padded rims.They have been much more durable than more expensive shades I've tried.$15

I second the Bobsters. Three sets of interchangeable lens for about $30.

I've been buying my sunglasses from Target for several years now. The pair I used to wear were very light (plastic frames), blocked the air perfectly, and left very little 'raccoon eyes' for long day rides. $14.99/pair. The only downside is they were so light I had to wear those holders - that I got from snow skiing - to keep them in place (they would bounce up and down on my nose otherwise). So when I lost that last pair, I bought a new pair from Target. About the same size, just a little heavier, metal frame, $19.99. They actually work better for air blockage, and are heavy enough I don't have to wear the holders anymore. They are so clear I forget I'm wearing them at times, have to do a double check!

I wear CURV-Z glasses with foam. I bought them on Ebay. I have a pair of panoptix and I like them enough, but they scratch very easily and are expensive.

What Weasel said.

I've tried most brands over the yrs and now Ionly wear WileyX. Find a shop that carries them, try on a few different styles, then go find them on ebay.....you won't be disappointed. Then again, I've never had awindshield, soI need a good set of goggles.
