I'm making a stand this year and finding eyewear that will keep the cold wind off of my eyes. I would prefer something smallish that will fit comfortably with my helmet (I'm a roadie), but if necessary, I'll go goggles. I've searched the forums for suggestions, but didn't find anything definitive.

So what glasses or goggles do you folks wear and like for wind protection? For reference, I have Bolle Rogues, and while I like it, it doesn't cut it in the winter.

It really depends on the temp. I wear glasses down to about 10-20 degrees (Fht), but go with goggles when the mercury dips below that level. I use goggles more to keep my face warm than for watering eyes. My speeds are much lower (I use a single-speed mtb in the winter), so watering eyes haven't been a huge problem.

I wear Oakley ski googles with a slight tint (designed for night skiing). Make sure you get double-paned googles. These goggles got me through a 30-40 minute commute at 7 degrees F.

I wear a simple safety google...probably high wind resistance and not very fashionable :( but if they fall, they don't break! When you find a pair, please post what you ended up with...

I use my normal Rudy Project lenses, if I am moving fast enough to prevent fogging. If fogging becomes a problem, I'll just ride without eyewear. It's no different from cross country skiing, I do that without glasses too, even at low temps (-20C and below). I'm with bac, watery eyes are not a huge problem for me at low speeds.

I wear safety glasses that look aerodynamic and (here's the best part) are free from work. They work for me down to -15 C, but do fog up when I stop, so I try and limit stopping on my commute. I haven't felt a need for anything like goggles. When it's really cold the safety glasses/Louis Garneau ballaclava combination works great.

Budget minded norSSeman uses Walmarts shooting goggles, they come with
three different shades that pop into the frame...less than ten bucks.

My eyes water with any wind. I have found that Oakley M Frames with Heater lens work great! They are large and cover enough for winter or summer.

I bought a really cheap pair of ski goggles and have them on my forehead when it's not too cold or windy or snowy and pull them down when I need them. I wish they were clear or yellow though. they have a slight tint and become dangerous at night. However, I find it's usually not as windy at night, so it's not so bad.
