I just wear the $4.99 clear protection glasses from HomeDepot. They are small and can fit in your vest pocket during the day while you wear your sunglasses. and their shatterproof
win-win
clear lense KD's. I did that for a few years. I still carry yellow KD's for a backup.
Or, now, I use WilleyX transition sunglasses. I wear them morning, noon, night and rain. $120 ish. I have used them for three seasons - still going strong. Haven't lost or sat on them yet. I only use them for riding.
i need padded ones....i have a day pair that were like 15 bucks but cant find them in night. Also are there pros or cons to the yellow lenses or should i go clear
Take a look at the Road Hog glasses from Bobster.
Got em from J&P less than $50 bucks, and they're great.
Ive been wearing these for three years with zero issues.
They came with 4 sets of snap-in lenses ( polarized mirror, smoke, kind of a rose color, and clear) as well as both padded and foam surrounds for the frame to keep crap out of your eyes, AND a set of interchangable temple pieces and a strap (like goggles)... It's a bunch of stuff. Surprised me when I opened the box.
I wear em every time I ride, and have not scratched the lenses, had anything fall off, or break.
The rose lenses are awesome at dusk or when it's overcast, and the clear are... Well, clear. Good visibility.
Well worth a look.
Damn sure easier than carrying 3 or 4 pairs of glasses. I was riding with a dude last weekend, and we got sidetracked. Put us riding in at dark. He was wearing full tints, which worked earlier, but he didn't have another set. He refused to get off my tail the whole way back- cause I pulled over and swapped lenses in about a minute!

Lost a pair of clear night glasses so went to Wally World and bought a pair of yellow tint Winchester safety glasses (figured I could use it at the range as well and kill 2 birds with 1 stone).
It works, but it's not made for night time driving so there's definitely some glare. Not too bad but if no glare is important, I'd get glasses made for night time driving.
I use the yellow for overcast days or early evening/early morning. It really brightens things up. If it is dark outside, I use clear cause the yellow ones actually darken the view of the road. I think Home Depot sells a set of glasses with changeable lenses for like $20 or $30
