im looking for some sunglasses which have an air tight seal and dont allow wind to contact my eyes. obviously i dont want them to look like goggles.
i have heard that Wiley X are a big brand over in the states, i was wondering if any of you guys have tried them and can vouch that they actually are AIR TIGHT SEALED, and your eyes dont water when your riding on the highway.

I have been wearing the XL-1 LA for riding about 2-3 yrs, they are good up to about 80-90 mph b4 your eyes start to feel it, sometimes more depending on wind speed, direction etc. I used to wear spy, and some other brands, but These seem to work the best. The only downfall, in my experience, is the glasses have like a foam padding, it goes around the inside perimeter of the lenses, which gives your eyes wind protection, well that foam, after 8-12 months, depending on how much you use them, starts to come off. However I imagine you could use some sort of glue, that won't eat the foam, to reattach it to the lenses frame. The price is worth it to me, I just buy a new pair once a year, and the other good thing is the lens’s are interchangeable, so you can wear them night/day.

I've been wearing Tifose Slips for the last yr or so and they work great for me. I got some friends who wear them and they say they get some wind in them but I guess it depends on your face....I guess I got a big head...Heres a link to them and there only $50 soo.
