    I have a pair of Oakley Minutes with dark amber lenses. They are not polarized, but they really help cut down on my migraines. Oddly enough, gray lenses (even polarized ones) give me headaches!

    The Oakleys only fog up on me at stoplights, and generally clear again as soon as I start moving. The lawnmower goggles I wear on cloudy days or in the dark fog up more often, so I might look into some Cat Cr@p for them.

    Edit: Oakley doesn't make Minutes anymore. Mine are about 9 years old and still going strong, but someday I'll have to replace them, so I'm keeping an eye on this thread.

    I LOVE my Rudy Project glasses. They're a couple years old, so I couldn't find a pic on their Web site, but here's one of me riding toward some singletrack in Vegas' Red Rock Canyon a couple weeks ago.

    They have really big coverage, which was important to me after coming in from gritty spring road rides with red, achy eyes. They're kind of expensive, but considering the number of days per year/miles I ride, they were a great investment. And I really like the blue lenses; polarized and cut glare really well (AND I have really sensitive eyeballs) and no noticeable scratches in my third season of riding with them.

    After the tabs broke off my mirror, I electrical-taped it to the side of the glasses, so I don't just wear them around town! They live in my helmet for on-bike use only. Best mirror ever, btw. I feel way safer in traffic.

    Protect those eyeballs!
