Those look good, thanks for the recommendation.

Based on another BF member recommendation I got these Radians XT1-11 Extremis Full Black Frame Safety Glasses with Clear Anti-Fog Lens a month ago to fend off the clouds of gnats on the MUP that borders the river. The gnats were getting around my sunglasses, and I needed something clear for nighttime use. The foam liner was perfect for that. But I'm glad I wore them last night -- I saw joggers frantically waving their arms around to fend off gnats that were so thick in places it felt like being pelted with handfuls of corn meal. I don't know how other bare-eyed cyclists were able to see where they were going.

But the thick frame does hinder peripheral vision a bit, and limits visibility of my helmet mounted Take-A-Look mirror.

So a second pair of clear safety glasses will be handy for rides when I don't anticipate clouds of gnats!
