Sunglasses for high speeds
 
What are you all using for sunglasses at higher speeds? I've tried a few different types of Oakley's, but haven't found anything I really like so far, so I figured I would see if anyone has any they really like that won't slide around and are easy to see out of. Trying to avoid the goggle route.

Thanks

Tried a few pair also. I like Maui Jims. Can't remember the model, but the lenses are curved a tad....stay put really well and light weight.

I have an old pair of vaurnets. The ones with the pointed outside top edge and low rounded bottoms. they're actually coming back I've had them so long. The bottom of the frame touches your cheek and with a strap on back keeps the wind out. Drove my checkmate with very little wind protection from the windshield at 80 and my eyes never teared.

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

These things are great. My brother sent me a couple and I am hooked.

+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..

X2 you never know when you might hit a sea bird at high speeds.
