#1: Ginger and RJ are wrong. (This is also a good rule of thumb).
The helmet straps keep your sunglasses snug to your face and the sunglasses dont go flying off if you take your helmet off first.
#2: Im a sunglasses whore, have 2 pairs of jawbones and 2 pairs of flak jackets, but I have to admit, the $17 sette pair with interchangable frames that i use for clear lenses is built very well and is functionally no worse than the oakleys.
Ive also been impressed with the performance bike house brand sunglasses.
if i wasnt a sunglass whore id probably pimp those or some tifosi.
