This year I bought a set of Wiley X Saber Advanced sun-glasses and they offer a great wrap and shield. The nosepiece is and temples are adjustable so they can fit a wide range of faces. They may be marketed as shooting/safety/bulletproof glasses but they make great riding glasses. I bought the 3 lens kit model #308 that included a Light Rust, Grey and Clear interchangeable lenses plus hard case. I pretty much just wear the Light Rust which is about 50% VLT as it's nice even in full sun. You'd like the Grey option which are sold with that lens alone as model #302. These are not flyweight flexy glasses so if that's what you prefer look elsewhere. The quality is top notch and I don't say that lightly. They stay where you put them, and even come with an optional strap if you want to use it instead of the arms. All the parts of these are replaceable, the most expensive being the lenses for $22. These beat the heck out of anything I've ever tried marketed for cycling and such. While scratch resistant, they warn you the lenses are not scratch proof as their primary purpose is protection from high velocity objects. They have no funny coating on the lenses either so they are very easy to clean.
