What sort of eye protection do you normally wear when riding?

Yeah, I'm curious. In the past 10 years, the Army has issued me about 3x different pairs of Revisions, and about 5x or 6x pairs of Oakley M-Frames - full kit... Never had to return any of them. I still have several of pairs of the Oakleys (though most of the lenses are pretty banged up and scratched), and a pair of the Revisions. Basically, I've never really needed to buy a pair of safety glasses to ride with, but I am considering the new line of Oakleys. What do you wear? If you also answer my survey, I'll give you a prize: The sound of me clapping with one hand...

Since catching a June Bug in the throat at well over 80, I never went out again without a full face helmet.

Capt Seid Waddell: I have a windshield to stop the lower flying ones... I occasionally catch a big one in the forehead-temple region, and I once had a wasp fly right into my jacket sleeve - inside the jacket - stung the crap out of me.. was all I could do not to dump the bike right then and there! Had to keep letting the bastard sting me while I tried to get slowed down on a curvy road at 65, so that I could start smashing him through the jacket - that was not a fun ride that day! Thank God I'm not allergic! That would have made for a worse day...

Maj Richard "Ernie" Rowlette, I can relate, sir. When I took one in the throat I thought I'd been shot.

I wear my Oakley shades but not because I want to look like a bad ass, LOL. I prefer Oakley anyway because of their durability, and I figured "Why buy new riding glasses when I already have a perfectly fine pair of sunglasses?"

I have Oakley and Wiley-X. I need sunglasses to be optically correct. The cheap ones cause distortions that give me a head ache
