    which are good road eye shields?

    As I'm doing more roadying now, my darling Smith Sliders that have been on many mtb adventures over the past few years just sit too low on my face when I lean forward and I have been riding without rather than go cross-eyed looking over the frame. I don't like to ride without, but don't know what's good on the market or if there are any road position specific shields? I'm not fussed about the look, but I've got a pretty narrow face and a narrow bridge, which doesn't help keeping glasses on! Oh and I don't have much money to spend! Anyone have any tips?
    Thanks

    I have some Tifosi glasses that fit my narrow head/face. http://www.rei.com/search?vcat=REI_S...tifosi&x=0&y=0 I have the Forza FC (Full Coverage). They do a better job of keeping goobers out of my eyes than my beloved Oakley Minutes did.

    Is it a position problem, or a sliding down your nose problem? The latter can be fixed with a good elastic headband meant for holding athletic glasses in place.

    If it's position, try Active -- I like their glasses even better than my beloved Oakley Half Jackets and do fine for both the run and bike part of the triathlons I've done.

    S&W Mini Magnum from MSC Direct

    Narrow size to fit youth/women's faces, excellent optical quality, ANSI impact resistant, not too scratch prone, UV blocking, wraparound design with great coverage, comfortable flexible nose piece, adjustable earpieces, available in smoke, yellow and clear, $8. Can't beat 'em with a stick.

    I order them by the case so I'll always have a spare pair when they get too scratched, or if I misplace them. Is $90 too much to pay for 12 pairs of sunglasses? I haven't bought expensive sunglasses since the dog ate my Oakleys.

    I have a pair of Tifosi with transitional lenses. I love those glasses for overcast days and transitional seasons. I think I paid $65 or so for them.
