How many wear eye protection when out on your ride?
Always.

For one, it's about elimination of as much UV damage as possible. I've lived a life involving many outdoor activities, often in very bright, higher-UV situations. Last thing I want to do is cause UV-involved eye damage.

Don't currently have wrap-arounds, but then on the bike I no longer go at speeds that'll make a huge difference with wind-whipped dust and whatnot. It's sufficient (I think) to have the good basic coverage that the polarized/UV prescription glasses handle.

Back in the day, I had Oakley M frames, in prescription, in one of their darker Iridium lenses. Nice units. Wrap-around style. Great for keeping wind, dust moisture, bugs and everything else away from the eyes, particularly at speed, on the water.
