You need a helmet with a face shield (preferably full face or full face modular) and/or windshield. What's happening is the wind is getting up under your glasses and causing your eyes to tear. You could also get motorcycle sun glasses which have the foam to seal to your face. I have a modular helmet which I wear most of the time and a 3/4 helmet with shield for when it's too hot to wear the modular helmet. I also have a windshield. There's nothing like getting hit with a June bug or bumble bee at 60+ mph. It's like someone shot you. LOL The windshield deflects most of that.

I also wear a ¾ with a shield. It works fine, but I find that when it's raining, I still need a draught behind the shield, to stop it steaming up. Most of the time (when it's raining) I have to keep shoving my finger up, behind the shield, & wiping the steam away.

I think that might change the first time time you take a pebble to the cheek @ 50 mph.

A friend of mine wears some reasonably classy goggles. I think he found them at a H-D shop. They work well with a half helmet.
