Hey there! Right now I'm wearing sunglasses while riding my Buddy. And although they look cool -- the wind is killing my eyes.

Anybody have input on the padded glasses or goggles that are comfy, not too expensive and look good?

Just needed some input before I start searching around.

I bought a pair of Bobster Cruiser 2 goggles. I love them. Here is a link.

Wind Riders at Wal*Mart.

I have the yellow ones that are padded all around the lens and the dark gray ones that aren't. I like 'em.

Are you more concerned with looking good or serious eye protection while riding?

I bought the wind riders and hated them compared to a pair I bought (for less money) at a local parts/supplies store (geared toward Harleys--they laugh when I roll up, I enjoy the attention) and they are great. They are similar to the wind riders, but no padding, fit closer to my face anyway so practically no wind gets behind the lens AND most important.....they are shatter proof.

If I got the right helmet to go with, I'd love some goggles.

Great sunglass style motorcycle goggles. Work great. $15 including shipping.

In response to your question ScooterDave, I think with the right pair -- I can achieve both

Both my son and I have been wearing Wiley-X ballistic eyewear my daughter brought home fron Iraq, absolutey fantastic, foam seals keep dust and bugs out, interchangeable lenses depending on light conditions. You can wear them with straps like goggles or with earpieces like regular sun glasses. AND they don't look bad either!

I have prescription sunglasses. My 3/4 Scorpion Helmet came with a face shield.

I have a small wind screen on my Vespa.

Sacramento is amazingly a windy place! Didn't fully appreciate that until I got the scooter on Sunday!

With all those pieces in combo, I do fairly well with the wind.

I wear shaded safety glasses on my motorcycle. The kind that wrap around your face.
They work way better than regular sunglasses.

There are a bunch of different kinds here: http://www.discountsafetygear.com/saglgr.html
