Looking for recommendations for new eyewear for the upcoming tourney season. Specifically eyewear for tourney starts. Low light, high wind sort of conditions. What is working for you?

I have a save phase mask for the cold or rainy mornings but other than that I have an older pair of Costa's with yellow lenses that work great.

Harley-Davidson clear lens glasses. Great at night when the bugs are out.

One for low light (Yellow) and another for when the sun comes out (Amber). Have done this for 25+ years. You can usually find the goggles on sale in Jan-Feb after Christmas. I don't always go for cheap. Cheap = Cheap. I'll spend $40-65 per pair. They last much longer. I have had some that last 5-6 years.

I have multiple pairs of Costas and I will probably never buy a different brand, so yes I personally think they are worth the money.
For early morning launches, especially when its cold, I wear a pair of Scott ski goggles with yellow lenses. They were only like $20 and they are well worth it.

I use my save phace when it's cold outside. In the warmer months I have a pair of shooting glasses with the yellow lenses.

Thanks I've had a pair of Maui Jims and a pair of Solar Bats, I prefer Costa's and IMO all 3 pairs that I have were worth the money!

Goggles or a motorcycle helmet if it's real cold and/or raining

Costa's with Sunrise 580P low light lens. Awesome and work great on rainy, foggy or cloudy days as well.
