I wear a Pair of Oakley Metal frames with prescription lenses. They are curved to keep the wind off my eyes and give great protection from the sun. They also fit tight to my head and stay put.

The cheap option that you can afford to lose is the tinted frameless safety glasses you can buy at any big box store. They stick tight to your face with no eye watering. I used to carry extras in my cat for the passengers. Wear them on my bike all the time as well. When you get to where you are going break out the cool Oakleys.

+1 on the Wiley's. As a 30 year veteran of the optical industry, I suggest polarized lenses on a wrap frame and foam insert. The Wiley's also come with an adjustable strap so that if you look back at high speed they don't fly off.Also great for those of you that ride motorcycles..

I use the Oakley split jacket with the wind gasket - these are awesome and I've had the same pair for about 5 years now.

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.

I like the idea of cheep sunglasses. Lost way too many pairs of good ones over the years.
On a more serious note, if you think your eyes are cheap, buy cheap sunglasses. If not, buy the good (polarized) stuff. Just don't ever look aft at speed. :) |
Seaspecs Classic Polarized $50.00 or 3 for $100 @ seaspecs.com
I used them for my 80MPH Seadoo and they work great. Can't see very well if your eyelashes are on your eyeball. They are actually surfing sun glasses but are aerodynamic and have a strap. |
Maui Jim's and Rayban P's for me too. Once you try a set of Maui's you will never be able to wear cheap sunglasses again. I prefer glass lenses over polycarbonate lenses. They don't scratch as easy.

I have Oakley XX metal and SquarD Polarized Oakleys at $400.00 each. The Seaspecs are polarized and I cant tell the difference in the lenses.

Nemesis safety glasses. I buy them by the 10 pack and put them on board so when a pair flys of my head into the water or a guest takes a pair home no big loss. You can get them indifferent tint colors or clear
this- my company buys these a 100 at a time, love them for the boat, they usally even come with a neck string to save them if they do fly off. I also keep some clear ones in the boat for night. |
