I wear "Fat Headz"  for an obvious reason.  Not too expensive, so when I break or lose them it's not a big deal.

I say if they are comfortable, have breakage resistance lenses, protect your eyeballs, and you like the way you look..............you have the best ones.

Myself, I have transition lenses I like to wear, but frankly as often as I seem to scratch bend and lose my glasses the $9.00 safety glasses from a hardware store work well too.

i've seen some darn nice safety glasses!!  and if you saw what goes into making those safety glasses safe, the testing that goes into 'em, you'd wear 'em also!!  ever take a rock to the face while going 70?  hirt like hell didn't it!  imagine getting it in the eye with a rock while wearing a cheap pair of wal-mart sun glasses!!  

i wear a pair of prescription, polarized sun glasses.  paid about $285 four years ago, still in excellent shape today.

Costco sells three pair of very good quality reading glasses for about $18.00. They work great for me.

I really like this one. The amber is great during the day and the yellow was really great at night in the rain.

I bought these a few weeks ago.  They work well, goggle option, and pop the padding out for off bike use.

I found that for Open Face Helmets shooting glasses work great, I just picked up a pair from Winchester and the pack at $19.99 comes with a case and 5 different lenses that interchange in about 10 seconds, they go from dark smoke all the way to clear, and everything in between. The great thing about shooting glasses are they are designed to be impact resistant, conform to "most" noggins and if you lose or break them no real money wasted. cooldude
