Wiley X has some with foam gaskets that seal out the wind. Some are RX ready. I bought a pair but haven't used them at speed yet.

X2 on the oakleys. Realistically i'm sure any brand snug type frame will help. I wear the "bottle cap" frames and they have done well at high speeds for me. Just my .02

One thing to check when trying them on. I push the bridge towards my face to make sure they can't contact my eyes, like the wind pushing against them. My Onos will actually lay right on my eyes at speed.

X2 on the WileyX. I just broke down and bought them from a local shop, so I could be sure they fit my face. They have gaskets, and made a huge difference in my view at WOT. Mine are full prescription.
thanks will look at wiley x oaks to pricy

I know this sounds silly, and everyone makes fun of it. But if you go to rite aid, wallgreens, or cvs type stores. They have a section that is all the crap that you see on tv. The sun glasses, I think they are made by blue blocker or something like that are really good. I have a couple of pair always laying around. They have been almost 120 on the water. Very little wind and they do help to read the water and see stuff floating . They are like $12. not a big deal if they fall off. Go ahead now and make fun. :D

My Oakley Holbrooks hold up well over 100, with no issues. The polarized lenses are great

Skydiving goggles - nothing better, and they hold to your face great!

Not if you're looking at any kind of a glass digital screen.

I have prescription costa del mars that wrap around pretty well. I have about $600 in them so I take very good care of them but Im blnd without them. Actually, Im partially blind on the right side even with them. Make sure to get poly carbonate lenses because a bug will take your eye out at high speed.

Any motorcycle glasses, they have the foam to seal to your face. And they are sold in different + strengths

WileyX prescription are not cheap. I do remember, reading some posts, that I started out using my snow ski goggles. They worked fine but looked weird.
