I bought these for my wife at the Peterboro show:
UK Eyewear
£40 at the show, £45 otherwise. Choice of ear-things or strap, 3 different lens colours, ballistic-tested protection.
She's happy with them - considering a pair with prescription inserts for myself.
One down-side - you may look like Ali G with the yellow lenses in!

I like the idea of the wind 'gasket' on the ones Mrs. Jenkins wears!
But I don't like the price!
I bought a couple of pairs of DeWalt 'impact resistant' glasses with tinted lenses for about £11 each from Screwfix.
Seem absolutely fine so far.
At night I wear full goggles.... but it doesn't matter if you look a tit at night!
Cheers,
James

If you go to their home page you'll see the others they sell - some are well under £20.

i bought some on ebay, almost exactly like those from ukeyewear. tbh they dont really fit that well. but i think they would be good if mine came with
the adjustable elastic strap.
also does anyone els find it hard to breathe at 70mph in their car?

I did when I had the old flat short screen as in my avatar, because there was a terrible vortex that literally sucked the air out of my face. The
aeroscreen I have now is infinitely better...

I bought a pair of polarized sunglasses by Eye Level, cost me £10, as I find polarized lenses great for driving.
They are not the ultra sport type with the foam surround but with the Westfield screen I don't find it a problem.
I think the lack of air will be purely down to the type of screen you are using. Don't suffer with any issues with the Westy screen.

The big advantage of the ones I got over the cheapies is that they are ballistic-tested - they can withstand shotgun pellets at a metre or so. As the
whole point of buying them was to protect my wife's eyes from gravel etc. I was prepared to pay the extra.
