If you're a frequent freeway-rider, chances are you're already familiar with the uncomfortable sensation of dry eyes from excess wind.

What to Look for in Motorcycle Glasses for Wind Protection
Whether you're a daily freeway commuter, or simply have the need for speed, wind protection is crucial to keep your eyes comfortable and your vision clear. Let's review which features to consider in your motorcycle glasses to avoid unwanted dry eyes:
Foam Gaskets
Motorcycle sunglasses with foam gaskets, or eyecups, are one of the number one ways of blocking wind, dust, and debris. They create a full seal between your eyewear and face, so your eyes remain untouched by nature's elements. For added versatility, many motorcycle glasses use removable foam gaskets, so you can choose your level of protection based on your riding needs.
8-Base Wrap
More often than not, if you've selected motorcycle sunglasses with foam, the frame will have an 8-base wrap. This wraparound design is what allows the foam to create a complete seal and delivers a wide field of vision. It also gives you extra peripheral protection that you don't get in everyday 6-base frames.
Proper Fit
Last, but certainly not least, a proper fit is crucial in receiving optimal performance from your eyewear. Too-large frames will leave unwanted space between your frames and face, allowing wind and airborne elements through to your eyes. If they're too small, your frames will squeeze your temples uncomfortably and have you counting down the miles until you can take them off. By wearing the correct size, you'll achieve a perfect fit that allows the eyewear to perform as it was intended. Not sure how to determine your frame size? Visit our SportRx Sunglasses Size Guide to learn everything you need to know about getting the right size!
