Looking for something with a strap and fairly good foam or rubber seal.

Wiley-X. Can get them in prescription, mostly cater to the Harley crowd. Pair I have is just like a pair of sunglasses, but gasketed around each lens to seal to your face. And you can replace the normal "arms" on each side with an elastic strap that goes around your head. They do get awfully hot in Florida in the summer when you are not moving fast, but absolutely helped clear up my vision which bounced all over the place with my normal sunglasses.

...throughout the eighties in fast boats down here, we wore FG (foster grant), sortof wrap-around polarized black glasses, that kinda looked like these. (could'nt find a photo of the exact ones as i don't think they make them anymore). the fishing guys down here also wore them. because of the big FG on the side of them, the fish guys nicknamed them fishing glasses. they worked in fast boats because theY allowed you to turn your head sideways without the wind getting behind them & blowing them off. everyone wore them back then with nice strings attached to the backs, or monofiliment line...https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/HF8AAOSwtPddK1cH/s-l300.jpg

I wear a set of matco tinted safety glasses. $20/pair, come with ear hooks (or whatever you want to call them) and an elastic band. Dense foam with cutouts seals right to your face with enough ventilation to not fog up. Works great!

I usually wear Underarmor brand AS-41 safety glasses. They look like regular wrap around shades, polarized and UV blocking. Maybe $180 or something like that at Academy.

Someone gave me some "pugs" goggles. I tried them, didn't like em and passed them along to a bud with a harley. He loves them. Ski goggles would be ok if they didn't fog dn here in fla's heat and humidity.

I have a couple pairs of really nice Oakley ski goggles I keep in the boat..since I can't ski anymore..
And a couple pairs of forget exactly but foamed sunglasses with the same strap and foam pretty much as the ski goggles but sunglasses do smaller and not as bulky...so can look back and don't have to worry about them ending up with the glasses everyone else lost not paying attention..lol.490078
Ones on the right are best if you don't want stuff stuck to your face and when it's 117degrees + you want as little as possible..:cool:

Being completely in the air stream on the Talon I tried all the usual suspects in sun glasses and none cut it. We were using these motorcycle goggles
490184
but in the summer heat they are just plain hot, not really enjoying the day on the water then we discovered Kroop’s goggles. We love the skydiver “Boogie” goggles. They are light, impossible to break, cool and rock solid to 100 mph. And the best part, $16!
