If the doors are off and a freak wind storm comes through town....I’ll take my glasses off before the wind blows them off.
Wouldn’t you know they got pummeled before I could turn around and get them.
I’ve almost lost my hat too!

Driving without doors is fun but dang! My glasses cost $400.

Keeper straps help. I’ve lost a few hats for lack of a lanyard, no easy solution there.

My condolences on your loss.

I’ll definitely check out that link. The rimless lenses cost way more at most places I shop for glasses. I hate glasses and the rimless ones make life easier.

You can also try goggles4U.com. sign up with your email for specials and you'll get coupons. Super inexpensive, ridiculously cheap actually....

I had that happen while I was on my motorcycle once. Road for years without a problem and one day the wind was just right and took them right off my face. I never even found them when I back tracked.

That is why I've worn cable backs since my second pair of glasses. Grew up boating, motorcycling, etc. They are getting damn near impossible to get. But I've never had a pair blow off my face.

That's rough! I don't think that'll be a problem for me because mine don't have lenses.

I soon became an unintentional litterbug because of this. Sh!t started flying around everywhere! Even with the doors on, if the top's off and windows are down I have to be careful for not losing my hat.

I’ve been careful not to have loose papers. I had a convertible bimmer once where I learned that lesson real fast. I never had a problem with hats or glasses flying off with it though.

I’m definitely getting an old lady strap for my “Jeep glasses” when my new ones come in.

Been driving naked Jeeps for a decade and I can honestly say this has never come close to happening to me. I don't wear hats, but my sunglasses have never moved.
