You have to buy what fits your head. It amazes me that people will spend thousands on a motorcycle, but refuse to spend more than $5 to protect their eyes. I have glasses that range from $10 safety glasses to $200 photochromic lenses. I buy what works.

Has anyone found good glasses (not goggles) for people with a wide nose? I am tired of trying to mod my glasses.

I use these and they work the best for me of the ones that I have tried. Don't bother with the transition lens, they don't transition

If you need perscriptions and want quality, or like me also need/want bifocals, these can't be beat.

If I didn't need perscription glasses I might not want something quite so pricey, but the clarity through these is incredible.

I like this retailer too.

for clear glasses lowes or home depot in the tool department they have some glasses that have worked well for me. they're impact resistant as they're intended to protect your eyes when using saws, etc.

I have the HD glasses with the foam liner for the wind, but remove it when I am riding around town. The lenses transition with the light so they are great for all day riding.

They were about $120.00.

I accidentally smashed my sunglasses last year on a trip and bought a pair of the transition lens glasses with the removable liner at a HD store in Gatlinsburg. Sounds like we have the same or similar glasses. I usually don't buy too much HD bling, but these are pretty good.

I like some of the Oakley's too. I had a pair that looked like this but I think they were called frogskins. http://www.oakley.com/pd/6097
