Bicycling Sunglasses/Googles

I recently started riding about 5 miles daily 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 running so
fogging is a big deal.

Is this post real? Dust getting trapped under glasses lenses? When I ride, I
create a little breeze of my own. There is no way dust could stay there!
Where do you live that you aren't even riding in the wind? Certainly not in
Texas!

It's for real. Dust gets trapped under the lenses and gets in my eyes.
Are there any popu;ar sunglasses that put a seal around the eyes?

Most cycling sunglasses have a sweep around the edges of the eyes to prevent
anything from getting in your eyes. My eyes make tears like crazy if I don't
use glasses or these kind with the side coverage. Maybe that's all you need.

This is probably the answer. Cycling sunglasses differ from ordinary
sunglasses. The wrap-around design makes quite a difference. See some
of the Oakley or Louis Garneau designs.

My teenage son *knows* his Oakley Zeros are seriously kewl and apparently
allow him to cycle faster... ;-)

On the other hand, due to the extrotionate price of said Oakleys, this
mother wears a very basic, unbranded, wrap-around style of shades which I
know I render kewl. Alas I do not cycle any faster ;-)

Cheers, helen s

Alternatively spend $10 and try out the 'Landscaper' safety glasses from
Lowes/Home Depot/Where-ever.

I have several pairs of fake Oakleys (they even say Oakley on them) that
you can't tell apart from the real thing, except when you clean the
lenses they don't scratch like real Oakleys. They cost $6 a pair.

oakley racing jackets, ala George hincapie.
