Must of tried on a hundred goggles/glasses over the last few years. Always something not right (I got a big melon). I been using a set of work safety glasses up to now, but the wind has been an issue. A little while ago, I seen the Wiley-X goggles on JP Cycles and decided to take a chance and order. A little bit pricey for over $70...but I think they maybe worth it.
Features....
1. Fits great (snug & low Profile) under the helmet for wide melons.
2. Clear and dark interchangeable lenses.
3. Strap or regular temples.
4. Safety - high impact protection
5. Anti glare and venting.
6. Nice case that can attach to handlebars.
7. AND MATTE BLACK:P

Very nice - That looks exactly like what I need, and what I've been looking for.
The weather's warming up daily so the windshield's gotta go soon, but my eyes tear up with regular sunglasses over 50 mph without it.
thanx for the write up and pics...
i'm just like most..i see a pair of what look like the "perfect" riding glasses, maybe even try them on, then buy them, ride in them and my eyes water up severly at highway speeds
i currently have about 10 pair of "riding glasses" in the garage
those are pretty pricey at $70 but if you add up all the $ i've spent on different ones that dont work, it makes sense http://www.jpcycles.com/product/544-410

I haven't tried the CQC but so far the Wiley's I've tried have been great. Got used to the Wiley's as military issue and switching over for riding was easy. First class customer service too! I had an arm break on a pair of Bricks and could not find a replacement. I emailed Wiley and had free replacement arms in less than 2 weeks.
I have a pair of Wiley-X sunglasses (Romer II Advanced) with interchangeable lenses. I had a set of clear prescription lenses made for them by Wiley-X using the same lens material as the original lenses. That way I can use the sunglasses during the day and swap them out for the prescription clear lenses for night riding.
Thanks for the write up, I've been thinking bout switching to goggles lately. I've tried so many riding glasses and can't find any that block the wind well enough to not dry out my contacts and tear up my eyes

Yep same thing here with contacts. Rode with them this weekend and very little fogging up at a stop in above freezing temps...and no watering eyes.
