Default Eye protection?
What do you guys run with for eye protection? I've tried RayBans but I find that my eyes water from the wind. I have a pair of 3M goggles that are OK, but they block my peripheral vision.

I have a pair similar to this. They are self tinting if the sun is bright. Then if it is dark out they are a lighter tint so you can see. The glasses have foam so it keeps the wind out.

They look like this pair but this one doesn't self tint.

I love these: http://www.shop.captain-itch.com/Ugl...D.qscstrfrnt06

At first I thought they were goofy, but I got a pair and I LOVE them - great field of view, great glare reduction. And TONS of complements, that I was not expecting!

Working well two years later. They are very good at blocking the air, and no I don't have a windshield on my scoot.

I have the photochromic 24/7 lens which kicks up the price but work at night/day/cloudy/sunny days. No swapping out lenses.

The face shield on my Nolan modular helmet.
If I have it flipped up, I wear the HD safety glasses I wear at work.

I wear the WileyX "Jakes" with the light adjusting lenses. I wish the lenses were a little darker with full sun, but otherwise not too bad.
