Oakleys . . . only way to go. The straight frames slide into your helmet easier than just about any thing else, and their pretty easy on the eye to look through.

Not cheap, but I figure that five years down the track they have cost me less than 20 cents a day, got similar mileage out of my last pair too. Getting due for a new pair soon, and will almost definately go Oakleys for them too. The one good thing about the price of them is that it makes you look after them.

Some might, my Juliets stick out a fair bit and as they are rigid as a rigid thing they aint going to work with a helmet, have some smiths that do that job just fine though

Mine have always been purchased with one of the chief criterior being how "helmet-friendly" they are.

I buy tinted visors.

Too much riding at night, and cant be arsed swaping visors out. Would go that way if all my riding was during the day, but alas . . .

Besides, I'm normally carrying my sunnies anyway, so might as well be wearing them!

I bought my helmet because it was glasses-friendly. Now I want new prescription frames, and am wondering if I'll need to take my helmet to the optometrist with me.

I've tried many brands over the years from Polaroids to Moschino's and without doubt the best are Bolle's. Not cheap but they do come up as specials occasionaly at Rebel Sports.

I wear a pair of Dirty Dogs that have an amber lens in them, which is great if it clouds over, starts to get dark, or you go through a tunnel, cause you can still see as they make things bright in the dark, yet cut out the glare of the sun. The only down side of them is that they don't have straight arms and get caught in my hair and pull like shit sometimes when I take them off while wearing a helmet, but otherwise good!
