I use Rudy Project Raydons with insert. Expensive - yes. Some optometrist carry them and insurance may help defray the cost, but unfortunately, my plan didn't include the optomtrist that is also a cyclist. Almost went with the Bolles noted earlier, but I did get a very good deal on the Raydon.

Likes:
- lightwight and full coverage with wrap-around
- Sophisticated and replacable nosebridge rather than molded plastic (replaced pads)
- $19.95 replacement warranty for scratched lens (replaced once)

Dislikes:
- Occasional fogging (but everyone elses were - even conventional glasses)
- Rattle when not wearing (thought it was the dash of my car)
- Rx issues. Not everyone can manufacturer the sports curve. E-Rudy has apparently D/C'd online RX, referring to "authorized optometrist" - none of which take my plan (or AARP).
- First time went straight vision, done by Pearle Vision, plastic to save $$. Great distance, but couldn't read maps, speedometer, etc. Plus, plastic is bulky with eyelashes brushing against. Next time (like now) will do progressive poly. Visionworks tech looked at mine and said could do it - but full price. Couldn't be included on their 2 for 1 deal because techincally, I am providing the one frame where the deal was 2 frames.
