Anybody Have Recommendations For Riding Glasses?

Looking to buy some shades for riding but my normal sunglasses are horrible at keeping the wind out. What are some types or brands of glasses you guys use or recommend to keep the wind out?

A helmet works wonders to keep the wind out.

Pork, I think you will find that most people will tell you ride with a helmet.

I have seen a few wrap around glasses that ride close to your face but i think you will find that something along the line of Oakley blades or something of that sort may help. You will most likely find that no glasses will keep all the wind out. the only way to do that is Helmet or maybe Goggles.

If you are using a brain bucket I would suggest that you don't.

1st they are gay
2nd the only sport riders that wear them are in the movie "Biker Boys"
3rd did I mention gay?

I rode with Smith sunglasses on with my helmet for those night that i didn't have the clear shield on. I had a pair of slider sunglasses and they worked great.

jsut my 2 cents

I have a pair of SPY Micro 2 sunglasses for when I have my clear visor. My Oakleys won't fit in either helmet I have.

They were like $75 at a Yamaha dealer in Tulsa.
