eyeglasses bouncing all around in wind.

I went riding today and it was pretty windy and my lightweight eyeglasses bounced around quite a bit. It made looking at the road and other vehicles somewhat difficult. I do have a windshield. I need to get some sort of a adjustable strap to tighten/snug them against my nose bridge.

There's a lot of different types shown on Amazon. What have any glasses wearers found to be good and easy to use/adjust?

Having no windshield but a face shield, makes my glasses stay put on my face. And I've been in some 25-30mph winds. Plus it keeps me from getting "bug faced".

A windshield adds to the turbulence unfortunately. I usually wear contacts behind goggles. Any strap that pulls the glasses tight against your face will do.

I had the same problem when I got my bike.

1. Tried different glasses - didn't work
2. Tried goggles - worked but I was always changing them out for glasses as soon as I got off of the bike. At high speeds, they still moved a little.
3. 6.5" Klock Werks which helped quite a bit

4. 6.5" KW + bandanna and tuck the ear piece under the bandanna = no more problem

Oakley goggles keep my glasses where they should be
and keeps road debris off.

Got sandblasted by a passing semi and
it did a number on the lenses in the glasses
bought the oakleys after that for road riding.

I bought some sunglass Croakies at Wally World for less than $4 and they seem to hold my Oaklies good and tight.

I use those stringy things that attach to the glasses and you can pull to tighten them at the back. Any kind that are cheap work fine, $2-3 at any sunglasses vendor at a bike night etc. HD sell them but of course they cost more.
