RE: Sunglasses or goggles?
Wiley X goggles/sunglasses. You can wear them as goggles in cooler weather. In warmer weather, you can put the side pieces on and wear them as sunglasses. Same goggles the military uses. When in the sunglasses mode, I use the "ropes" that Wiley provides. Keeps the sunglasses tight, but allows a bit of air flow.
On a protection note, these glasses are are tough. Long story short, while out in SD last week, I met a semi which little did I know was throwing a wall of rock. Rode through the wall of rock at 75 mph. Rocks hit me from just below my eyes up. While my goggles are chipped, they did not crack or break in any way. I'M SOLD!
Unfortunately, my bike did not fair as well. 11K+ in cosmetic damage.

Hey my opion is that i've found the best goggles ever created, I just received them last week. They are aviator goggles with shatter and fog proof lenses (yellow, clear, dark, irridium) that are easy to change. They are quite original! Handcrafted to replicate real flying goggles from back in the day, finest quality. Expensive. My were about 185 bucks but they kick ***. See this site: www.classicgoggles.com
Cheers.

I love my shades with the padded frames. The padding keeps out sand and small pieces of dirt that invariably find their way under regular frames.
Also, the snug but comfortable fit to the face prevents wind from blowing in behind your glasses and launching them.

I have a pair of Panoptix and the cheapie sunglasses with the foam. Although the Panoptix are good I tend to wear the cheaper ones more because they are darker than Panoptix. Seems to me the Panoptix never get completely clear or completely dark.
