Default Looking for night time CLEAR safety glasses

As the title states, I am looking for a good pair of clear safety glasses that can be worn at night. I have bought the "throw aways" at auto zone in the past but wondering if there is a decent pair to be had that have good optics, good airflow, and good fit. Thanks!!

I get "7eye" by Panoptix. They do prescription lenses too.

They specialize in sports and motorcyclists glasses/goggles.
Been using them for lots of years now. Lots.

I have the “Jake” frames. Two pairs, one tinted and one clear. My tinted lenses got pretty beat up over time and I got replacements from Fuse lenses, ordered new clears as well. They were a really tight fit but I have to say the clarity and definition were really, really nice. The clear lenses are amazing at night.

I bought a pair of "transitional" lens glasses at a H-D dealership a couple of years ago for $ 40 and I'm very happy with them.
They're clear and when they darken they don't get as dark as some sunglasses but I have a visor on my helmet (and sunscreen) so they work great for me.
They also have the "windblocker" foam that helps keep stuff out of your eyes, which I have become very picky about after I got oil or something in my eye and everyone thought that it was "pink-eye".

+1. I bought a pair in a pinch several years ago. I think they were $14. I figured they'd be good back-ups for in the bag or whatever to my Ray Bans. But I liked them so much I bought a pair of tinted ones for during the day. Best 14 bucks I've spent. After much use and many drops it was time for a new pair but it appears they aren't making them any more. OP, if you decide to go that route and can find them let us know.
