Rudy Project. I know nothing about your face shape, but the Rydon model suits me well.

I like Smith Glasses. I have had several pair, and really like them. I usually use the yellow or rose colored lenses for riding as most of the trails are through shade trees and those lenses help in lower light conditions.
I've also got a pair of Native Eyewear with interchangeable lenses that I use as my "everyday" glasses because of the grey polarized lenses. I leave these in my truck and have swapped to the yellow lense when riding and I've left my Smith's at home.

Don't you all realise that the Rudy Project is a "Roadie" sunglass. they look naff ,or so I keep being told, when other riders look at me. The only thing is they work. They are also fairly strong, as I broke My Briko's, which are the only other pair I can recommend, when I trod on them while repairing a puncture 5 years ago.

I've found that "shield" type lenses are the best, they dont pool sweat on the inside of the lense that splashes back on you eyes or up and all over the inside of your lense.
or maybe Im just trying to say, they stay clearer longer.

Go for some Natives. Great quality and they're really light on your face. Definatly a good choice, plus they have tons of different styles that have interchangable lenses.

Personally I'm a fan of my Rudy Project Rydons. They have been really comforatble, and performed very good. Having the earpieces and the nose peice slightly adjustable is great for me since my head seems to be an odd size.
Also they have a lens replacement guarantee http://www.rudyprojectusa.com/products/warranty/lenses.htm. I've never used it myself, so i don't know how well it works, but seems like good customer service.
They also have a really good assortment of interchangable lens. I haven't had the chance to try anything but the smoke blacks that they came with, but i'm hoping to pick up either some racing red or yellows, and maybe a laser finish one for those really sunny days =]

after breaking a pair of oakley M frames,losing a pair of oakley Zeros and having a pair of Addidas stepped on by one of my kids i have started using Foster Grants with shatterproof lenses and they are coated with some kind of anti reflective coating that is like a gold colored polarized lense.they do great in bright light or low light and dont kill your eyes when making the switch from one to the other like in the woods when i come into a meadow type scene then back into woods plus i forget they are on sometimes because they are so comfortable.their called Ironmans.
