Default Need Suggestions - Goggles??

People-

Anyone here wear goggles? I myself prefer a half helmet and wear sunglasses. However, my sunglasses do a poor job at best from keeping the wind from my eyes. I'd rather not but a full face helmet or windshield. Any recommendations for goggles?

Thanks in advance

I went with PhatSportShades.com and I like them. I use polarized glasses most of the time, but I like to put on the goggles too. I find that the glasses do a fine job, but allow dirt and stuff to get into my eyes. The goggles stop the debris from getting in my eyes which is a big plus, but the wind still comes in and seems to pass across the eyes. so if you want to stop the wind you might find that you just changed the path of the wind. You need the airflow to stop them from fogging.
the price of the goggles was like 12$ or something. I consider that pretty cheap.

Lowbrow customs has some sweet old school aviator style goggles! I have a brass set and a chrome set. Expensive at $75, but I love them. I wear prescription glasses and they fit over them great.

I have these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MT77FU and I love them, they don't fog-up and they are conformable.

I've been using these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT

Keeps 100% of the wind out of my eyes. I wear a Fulmer V2 3/4 helmet and wear them underneath it. Also have the clear lens version for night riding.

I want a pair so bad! Every time I have the money they are out if stock, and when they are in stock I don't have the money!

I prefer Bobster's Bugeye II with interchangeable lenses.

I wear Beretta shooting glasses, they do a nice job of keeping the wind out of your eyes. Might not be as good as googles but they don't have a frame around them and you can get different colored lenses. They sell for around $40.00 on Amazon.com.

I've purchased many types and found the Bobster Cruiser II the best choice for me. I've had them for a few years now and have already replaced scratched lenses AND the foam- but they are the only ones that have actually worked for me. I have very sensitive eyes that water at about 50 mph especially in cold mornings. I'm very happy with them.
