I lost a $400+ pair of Maui Jims out the back of my Fountain...banghead.

Picked up a pair of Oakley Racing Jackets for $50 on sale...they are awesome.

Check out Ocean Waves. I've worn them for years. Their lens coating is between layers so you don't have to worry about scratches. A little on the high end for price by great quality and many styles.

Check out your local motorcycle shop. I have bought a few pairs cost around $20.00 for a pair. Work great and if they go overboard no big deal. I have them with and without foam.

Oakley fuel cell.

I like that they are large to not allow air to get underneath but don't feel as if they will blow off when looking over either corner at speed.

Polarized is a must regardless

There is not a perfect pair that will work for everyone. Everyone's head is shaped different. That being said, I have several different styles of Oakley's and most work great.

Maui Jim with the Metal flex frames, they really hug your head tight.

My current and previous boats had little wind protection. I wear these when I am running, then just put my regular sunglasses on when I stop. You can get them with tinted lenses and the clear is good for night use. Plus they are cheap enough to carry a few spares.
