What do you fine people use for protective eyewear? I’ve been lucky to only have a couple rocks near the eyeball when wearing contacts.
I’d like to keep it under 100 bucks if possible.

I like the Tifosi Sledge quite a lot. They vent pretty well but I usually keep them in a hip pack for the climb.
I continue to be impressed with my Ryders Pangor glasses.
Thanks for the suggestions. Within budget too. Cheers.
I use MEC Dimension, with a clear lens. No issues with fogging, but I don't wear them climbing.

These are great. They fit well with all 3 of my helmets, they're big, good field of view, comfy, love them.
I have been using a pair of 100% S2 for years and they've been amazing. Clear photochromic lens, good optics, minimal fogging. Pricey for sure, over $200CAD.
I've been getting a lot of ads on IG for riding glasses and I just ordered some from Saolar Australia. $75, clear lens, photochromic, nice styling. If they're not great I'll try Kapvoe next.
I'm pretty confident that these and the ones on Amazon (Tifosi, Rockbros) all come out of the same factory and offer similar quality as the bigger brands but there's only one way to know for sure.
Rockbros can go get bent imho after reading this:

For the price point, I bought a clear lens one and a dark lens one
Went to check out the Ryders and got this message on their website:
"We have made the difficult decision to cease production and distribution of Ryders brand products, effective December 31st, 2022.
While we are no longer producing Ryders brand products, we encourage you to visit our sister brand's website, FosterGrant.com. As a leader in the eyewear industry, Foster Grant offers a broad range of affordable and stylish eyewear solutions for the whole family!"
The Pangor isn't there anymore unfortunately :(
Argh.
IME as a long time Rx glasses wearer not every frame fits every face, a futuristic curved frame won't work with some prescriptions, IME rayban wayfarers fit my face well and I think they will fit most faces cuz the frame is flat
I have some Ryders Escalators, I like em quite a bit.
They come with a removable gasket that’s nice for really dusty conditions or safety glasses use. They sit very close to the face (for me). They stay put when you jam them into your helmet vents, something I really appreciate.
If they’re discontinued, where are the blowout deals?
Edit: found some deals: https://www.ridleys.com/product-list/eyewear-1120/glasses-1122/?rb_br=318&startrow=30
MEC has Pangors in stock --> https://www.mec.ca/en/product/6022-240/pangor-light-lens-sunglasses
