Default goggle recomendtions

What goggles do you where? What goggles would you have if you could buy them today. I asking because mine are not cutting it. bugs get in, pollen is a big problem. Wind... well you get the picture. I think I would like ones that the strap goes on the outside of the helmet. I have a harley half helmet

I wear Panoptx with the transitional lenses. They work extremely well!! The foam is removable and you can where them like regular sunglasses. The lenses change with the light in within 27 seconds. Great goggles for any kind of riding. The only problem is the cost. I picked mine up for just under $200.

I also went Panoptx with Chromatic lenses. Great sunglasses with the removable gaskets. I have a pair of goggles with the strap for the helmet and they're much more uncomfortable then the Panoptx.

I don't really care for true goggles but recently got a pair of Wiley-X Blink glasseswith strap making them like goggles. They're pretty nice and before that I used the cheap "Best MC glasses" which were okay, of course when I have the windshield on just regular oakleys work fine as the wind does not bother my eyes..

Went to walmart, didnt really have the $ to get what i wanted. I bought a pair of glasses "come with straps" they have the thin foam padding around the lens so no air can come in. I had the same problem this was a quick fix for about 15bucks! look pretty good to

I wear Bobster Sport and Street Convertibles w/ prescription transitional lenses. I like them a lot.
Seal well on top and bottom (note: they don't fully seal on side)
