I try to find a good pair that sits tight enough to my face that wind does not get behind them. Locally I get a discount rate on Pepper's sunglasses and will get their polarized floaters. Nice thing is they will replace them if broken. http://www.peppersusa.com/

$10.00. They fit my face nice and tight with a good wrap around so no air gets to my eyes at all with contacts in. You can turn your head at 75 and they don't even budge. They look pretty good to

Check out:

I have a set with multiple (polarized) lenses. I don't use them all the time, but when I need them they work well.

I've also been wearing these for 15 years:

They are cheap, comfortable and float.

I'm a little surprised people spend so much money on boat glasses. I always tell everyone to think twice before bringing pricey glasses on because I think we all see expensive glasses have a way of jumping off your face for multiple reasons. At speed, at the dock etc. Expensive glasses love the bottom.

Guard Dogs bought 2 pair for my Eliminator cat some years ago. Not sure if they are still in business.

I sell Safety Equipment for a living and use these on my boat. They come with the temples that can be removed if you prefer wearing them as a goggle with a strap.

Picked up a pair of Costas on vacation this summer when I forgot my other glasses, they are comfortable and seem to block wind and stay on better at speed than anything else I have worn.

Costa del Mar "wave killer"
Hands down the best wind protection for your eyes.
I wear contact lenses and these let zero wind in.
I have run them for 13 years in my Skater 32.
They come with a string that has adjustable slide that keeps them on.
Only problem is Costa discounted them. I just did a search and west marine had them.
