Check out an OSO advertiser. Bomber2000.com I think. I purchased a couple pair and they seem like they'll work great. To top it all off, they float too. The prices are right as well.

ISurvivedMNU,

No offense but have you checked out BOMBER 2000 ?

Their prices are great AND all of their glasses float. Great customer service and easy to order.

Goggles may not look as cool or on a hot day, be as cool but after trying varing types of glasses ... I like the goggles. When running hard they keep the wind any any spray out. I switch to sun glasses when the throttles come back and it is time to look cool while backing ino the dock space.

I use Spy's on the boat. The "Microscoops" have a raised cheek pad and eyblow so they seal right against your face and block the wind. The arms have vents in them so they dont fog.
I ordered the bomber's a few days ago but havent gotten them yet.
If your going to replace the lenses with prescription glass I would recommend not spending a ton of dough on sunglasses. Most of what you are paying for in high end glasses is the lens.

Check out Spy Microscoops;

Dang
Just went to get the link for you and they have a bunch of new lines as well as prescription lenses.
