eyes tear every time I go down a hill at 40MPH.

They don't fit flush, but I have had good luck with the old style gargoyles on both bicycle and
motorcycle. As a bonus they are pretty indestructible as long as you dont drop 'em on the car seat
after a race, then sit on them. Bill C -

I had lasic surgury and have been searching for sunglasses that protect from wind ever since (my
left eye gets foggy after about 30 minutes or so of fast riding).So far I've tried some sort of Bole, Briko lucifer, Rudy Ekynox
w/performance shield and Wiley-x SG1. The only ones that work at all are the Wiley-x. They actually
have a "gasket" with some small holes for anti fogging that fits around your eye socket. They
block all wind. In fact, they're more like goggles than sunglasses. Their site is here:wiley-x.comntseries.htmlOpen ↗
Good luck.
