I have a pair of regular Wiley X II Romers and I keep coming back to them. I've tried a couple other brands but WileyX is the most comfortable/wind resistant glasses I've found. They're out of production I believe but you can find new pairs on ebay and replacement lenses...I just got a multi-clored set of replacement lenses on ebay the other day. I do have a pair of their SG-1s and they are good too. They are a little more restrictive as far as field of vision though.

Phat Performance has them. I was looking at them the other day.

I've been buying rx glasses/goggles from sportrx.com. you can order a pair or two to see how they fit with no charge. the lenses don't scratch and last forever. very reasonable and excellent customer service. been using them for over 10 years and just ordered new lenses for sunglasses that are five years old. they make their own lenses so you can replace old lenses and save money.

Yup - I've bought dozens of pairs of glasses and goggles over the years. I got a pair of prescription goggles at Zenni Optical earlier this year for about $25. They're the best thing since sliced bread.

I did a 3,000 mile trip a couple of weeks back. The tinted Zenni goggles were the only eyewear I wore for the whole trip. Good in all light conditions from bright sunlight to riding in the rain. And no fogging problem.

are you using the adjustable wings on the outer edge of your fairing? or the fork air baffle? these mods allow you to have much less of a blast of air coming through between the fork legs, the baffle. and the adjustable wings allow you to control the windstream much better than without them.
