I went through a bunch of cheap glasses for a couple of years, but now I use Wiley-x. They seem to hold up well. I also have some Wiley-x glasses I use for shooting and as general work safety glasses. These are the one's I use to ride:

Wiley X are good. I used them for a couple of years. I got tired of carrying a daytime pair and night glasses. For the last couple of years I've been wearing transition lens glasses I got from Harley. I like them. Of course since they have Harley-Davidson on the frames, they aren't cheap.

I have a pair of safety glasses from work that I've been wearing in the dark. During daylight though, I wear nothing but Oakley. I have a pair of Radar Range with polarized lenses. They're great for any weather or any speed.

The Wiley X glasses I have include the transition lens. I had a pair of the Harley transitions and they seemed decent enough. Unfortunately I dropped a framing gun on them and they did not survive.

I have a pair of these Liberty Rx Glasses and they are awesome.
I just got them last week and went for a highway run yesterday with them, and I couldnt believe the difference, especially with oncoming tractor trailers......I use to think, it was the wind blowing me around, when actually most of it, was my regular glasses vibrating/shaking.

Picked up a pair of Bobster transition glasses yesterday. Rattler I think they are called. Put them on and took a big bug right to the eye a few miles down the road.
