WileyX here. Expensive, don't know if they're worth it, but somehow, I got my vision insurance to buy them for me.

A pair of Oakley sunglasses is all I wear, but I will say they don't work when using a grinder. lol

Also of note: I'm hearing some states have made "Impact Resistant" eye protection mandatory... A quick call to your local DVM could be worth the time.

A visor, when locked it seals out the wind completely and cuts the noise. Vents provide low velocity air to my face and the top of my head to keep me cool.

I wear a pair of Chap'el glasses. They were on sale for $20 at a local Harley dealer. They turned out to be great for day or night and have foam around the edges that helps block the wind. I wear contacts and the wind used to mess with my eyes. I am really surprised how good they are given the price. I have had them for over a year now and they still work great. They do fog a little when riding in a downpour but what glasses/goggles wouldn't?

WileyX. Several pairs, Jakes, SG-1 and several other pairs I've been issued over the years. Work great, well worth the cost.

Original KD's. Keeps most of the road crap out but lets in enough air so your not sweating. And only about $10 so if you loose them no big deal.
