Default Prescription sunglasses recommendation

It's hard to find any local place that carries frames for motorcycle sunglasses, so I'm forced to order online. Looking for some recommendations for large head frames with removable foam, and good built quality...

I wear Wileyx. I like them. You might look into them. My local optometrist office carries them.

No foam, but I get safety glasses paid for every year. WalMart has a wrap around type that I get every other year, just for riding.

my optometrist has frames that are a wrap around....I think they are Liberty Sport.... I get single vision with transition lens. This way I can wear these glasses both day and night...not have to worry about sunglasses. I have had these for several years and have been very pleased with them. I have been to two different optometrists over the past 10 years and both had these. Your optometrist should be able to get these.
and like someone else said, no foam.

Another vote for WileyX. Solid build, comfortable, handles wind really well. Used to do Oakley but not going back.

SportRX.com has about every frame for cycling made, I think!

Just got a pair at Walmart, can't beat the price! They actually had a good selection of safety glasses that work great on a bike, and the girl selling them rides a Sportster, so she had some first hand experience!
