Default Eye protection

For all of you out there that wear a 3\4 or 1\2 helmet what eye protection do you use for day and night? Pics would be helpful.

Thanks

I use standard sunglasses. Did you know in Texas eye protection is not enforced? Crazy to think anyone would ride without it.

With half helmet I've been through various pairs of safety glasses (tinted for day, clear for night) with stem straps so they don't fly off when I turn my head. The best strap I've found are CHUMS, made in USA and sold at Academy or Sports Authority. Cheap & several different colors. My current night glasses I found at Wally World for about 6 bucks - Winchester shooting glasses, clear yellow tint, I like 'em.
