Default Eye protection, night time????????

Anyone have any suggestions for some good quality, reasonably priced, clear eye protection for riding? Maybe something not made in China?

These photochromic lenses seam like a great option but there are no reviews on them.

EyeRide Cambios Sunglasses with Photochromic Lenses - Denali

http://www.bikersden.com/p-1260-eyer...es-denali.aspx

Anyone know anything about the brand EyeRide?

Thanks.

Last summer I was on a trip from Phoenix to Crescent City, CA. I stayed in the San Fernando Valley my first night. I left my hotel and rode into Northridge for some dinner. When I came out it was almost dark and I had nothing but sun glasses with me. I had left my clear night glasses back home. What are you going to do at 8:00 on a Saturday night? No motorcycle shops are open that late. I found a Lowe's on my GPS and went in and bought a pair of safety glasses. Decent ones, they cost about $16. Been using those at night ever since.

I use clear safety glasses from work. They cost 50 cents. I've been wearing those for about 6 years and so have all of my friends.

Clear or amber safety glasses. If your eyes are like mine buy the bifocal ones so you can read the gauges.

If I KNOW I'm riding at night, I wear my full face helmet. If Im out and about and it gets dark on me with my half helmet, I have some $10.00 cheapo clear glasses that I picked up at my local HD dealership that I keep in my saddlebags. I was caught ONCE having to ride with sunglasses at night.....it sucks!! LOL!

I used cheap amber goggles. Also used my WileyX military goggles. Ordered the new Oakley Wind jackets. Not cheap.
Law enforcement/military ordering site. Everythings like 1/2 in-store prices
