If I do get glasses one day myself, It will probably just be for the coolness factor. Also, I don't like looking at the world with a tint.
Wow, never thought someone could get on a high-horse about sunglasses, but there you go...
I always ride with them, besides bugs and UV protection, they help a little with keeping the sweat out of my eyes (if you get the right kinds) and I just hate having to squint while riding.
As for a coolness factor, I actually feel nerdy when am wearing them... go figure
