In daylight, BBB Winner with grey lenses - comfortable and not too expensive:
I got sick of having the "wrong" lenses in when conditions change (on early morning or evening rides), so I got a pair of Shimano Galaxy, which have photochromic lenses. These are not great in strong sunlight (the lens doesn't darken much) but do the job well under other conditions:

Ok, everybody has all of these expensive glassses. Maybe on the road they work fine. But on a MTB where they could fall off or get hit by a branch when you pass they aren't going to last. Also most glasses are tinted at some sort of degree. Being a general Contractor I'm in supply houses all the time that sell high quality safty glasses. Yes that sounds corny. But think of this. They usually cost less than $10.00. They are very strong and durable. If they break or get lost, hey it was only $10.00. You can get them in a few shades. I tend to wear the Ice Blue AOS glasses you find in Lowes or Home Depot. But I have some great clear and yellow lens glasses that I like to wear in the woods or on roads that have alot of shadows or wet leaves. Take a look at them. It's a good deal and I go through about one pair a month.

Oakley half Jacket Transitions. The transitions lenses work really well for me. The riding here can vary from sun to fog, bright sun to redwood groves. The transitions lenses work really well in those conditions. I don't like a super dark tint on my glasses even in bright sun. The only knock i have heard on these for some people is that they don't get dark enough.

I wear Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ's. I have the bike array with VR28 Black Iridium (I ride these from sunny to about 50% cloud cover), Persimmon (Overcast and evening), and clear (night riding). I wear these on both mountain and road and have not had any problems with them falling/splipping, I also use them frequently as shooting glasses. They're great all around and I wouldn't give them up for a pair of cheapies. I don't worry about the lens too much because I know a rep that can get them to me pretty cheap if they get scratched too bad. The coatings on oakleys are usually pretty durable, much more durable than the cheapies that are out there, plus I like fit of oakley's over most glasses that I've tried.

That's my problem, about -9.00 in both eyes. I have a really old pair of Bolles, with the inserts, but they were so heavy and I got fogging between the lenses.

Man, I have 20/15 vision but my eyes are so sensitive to cold air that I'm actually thinking about getting some goggles. If I ride without eyewear I'll have tears running all down my face; even with glasses that l allow air to get in around the sides will make my eyes tear.
Is there such a thing as goggles for cycling which are much smaller than these?
