I cannot find a good fitting pair of riding glasses, I was blessed with a wide head, the glasses I have now are the 7eyes size large but they are still snugg and after a few hours of riding they are digging into the side of my head and it hurts, does anyone have this issue? And if so what glasses are you using to resolve this nagging pain.

Costa Del Mar-Man O War

Costa X 2

And I happen to be in the market for some glasses. Glad I ran into this! Thanks!

From another fat head......Ray Ban Wayfarer. Been wearing them for forty years and they're still in style.
You have to buy them someplace that knows how to fit them to your head. They have the little tub with the heated glass beads that warm the arms of the glasses so that they can be bent/molded to fit your head correctly.

Oakley Pit Bull

Just curious, what lens color do you guys like when riding?

I actually have prescription lenses in them but they are photochromatic and get dark grey when exposed to sunlight. Works really well and I don't need to carry an additional pair for the nighttime.
-
I find the light adjusting lenses don't get dark enough for riding into direct sunlight. I once even bought a cheap pair while on the road that were darker than my Wiley X's and Panoptics. Still on the hunt for a pair that does both.

Wiley X!
A few years ago I took a large bolt off the center of the lens at 70 MPH. Riding my old Deuce. Nearly knocked me off the bike but didn't even scratch the lens!
Great fitting sunglasses. They come is a bunch of styles and sizes.
-
Oakley Slit jackets. Fit well, can easily change lens for conditions. I have dark polarized, grey, and transition lens for the glasses. They also have wind sock you can take on and off to seal around your eyes.
-
I wear the Oakley gascan. The have straight earpieces so they slide in my full face helmet easily. I have had them for a few years and fined them very comfortable on a long ride. I have an 8 3/8 hat size. It's a big melon holding a couple marbles.

How many of the glasses mentioned below have a gasket? I really like having a gasket, otherwise my eyes water like mad. I need to invest in a good pair.
-
I have two pair of 7 Eyes that I like, The Diablo, & the Cape, both have adjustable temples and the air shield which I removed. I needed a pair of glasses to fit a small to medium face since my head size is a 6 & 7/8ths peanut. I tried a pair of Willy X wit the air shield but found them to big for my face and took them back!....DH

I also have a wide round head. I wear the Oakley wind jackets. Fit great, interchangeable lenses, hard and soft case, removable gasket (although I always leave it in), and strap. They stay in place, no vibration. Love them
-
Small hat size for me and I use a Wiley-X model they have discontinued. I will need to start all over again looking for the glasses I like. I use Costa's in the car and love the Wave glass but I need polycarbonate in the bike for safety reason. I also insist on a liner of some sort to keep out all the blowing grit that finds its way around an unsealed frame.

I just ordered some Maui Jims Watermans today in my prescription. I will need to cut the strap off to wear them with my ff helmet but in the store they seemed perfect. I wear Maui Jims every day when I'm driving and in my opinion their rose lenses are absolutely the best lenses I have ever had and I am excited to be able to get a pair that I can wear on my bike. These seem like a perfect pair for my bike with the rubber gasket.

I have Maui Jim prescription progressive lenses, love them, I can now see the detail info on the nav system. They are pricey but worth it.
-
Yea, I did progressive as well. Its hell getting old..

I have 2 pairs of 7 eyes (Panoptic), one photo chromatic and the other just a dark tint, and a pair of Wiley-X. All of them have gaskets, the 7 eyes are foam and the Wiley-X is more like neoprene. The Wiley-X gasket is too airtight for my preference, I get all sweaty around the eyes with those, the others breathe better.

Those are what I have in my regular glasses, but would like to get them in sunglasses for driving and riding. Any recommendations for places to get them?

I ended up buying at my eye Dr's office. I checked around at several of the prescription glasses big chain stores, online stores and the Dr's office was the best price, around $600.

Wiley X, $140. Don't use the foam. Stick on 2.5 reading lenses, priceless. ($12. on Ebay.) Tried some other types at Street Vibrations, however:

I use mostly my prescription Oakley Wind Jackets. I do like my Wiley X when I wear contacts.
