Running Sunglasses/Googles

Quoted message said:

I recently started running in the countryside and I
started to wear suglasses after a hard shell insect bulleted my face.
The problem is I now have had more eye problems in the last few weeks
than I have had all my life as a result of dust getting trapped under
the lenses. Are there are sunglasses/googles out there that cup the
eyes and do not fog up? I also want to wear them while bicycling.

Try the TYR's that many olympic swimmers wear. They are small,
lightweight, cushioned, don't fog, and they come in all kinds of
different shades from clear to dark blue. Bonus: They are known NOT
to attract vicious dogs.

Thanks for the information but TYR's do not provide UV protection. I
need sunglasses that prevent dust and insects from getting underneath.

TYR claims they do have UV, which makes sense for a water product.

You are right. That's what they say. I wonder though to what standards.
In case they may be worth trying. Thanks.

Yes, but they still don't match his Spiderman outfit.

Hey buttercup, those are called "contact lenses"...

A wise choice. Nothing inspires the derision of beer bottle slinging,
pick-up driving Virginia rednecks like a runner wearing swim goggles. You
might also want to consider a Speedo.

I've had a similar problem for years. I ride a harley and am always
on the lookout for sunglass that will keep the wind and dust out of
my eyes. The best pair I ever found were from a rack in a kawasaki
shop. They seem to work very well for running. The best part is
they only cost $12. The bad part is that it was a trial and error
selection. At least now I have a pair to use as a template.
