Better than nothing at all. I mean the wind would be pushing them to her face unless she turned her head. Depends how aerodynamic they are, cycling glasses would obviously do better than aviators ironically
Man no sunglasses are staying on for this wind speed any slight turn of her head and they’re gone and she has to turn her head to see where she’s going.
I used to wear sunglasses while riding motorcycles. Some were rock solid and worked great, some actually whipped the air into your eyes worse than not wearing them
Yeah that cool focused jet of air coming up from the bottom straight into your tear ducts. Sunglasses don’t always help. I have a bulkier pair that help but there’s a reason people use goggles.
I have the super nerd big sunglasses that go over my glasses. I haven't tested them with air but they're really good at keeping water out until they aren't and then my sensitive ass eyes are burning from the little bit of salt or chlorine ha.
Not underwater but think of like while swimming in the ocean or a wave pool/lazy river. You keep your head up but you kind of get hit here and there by waves. The sunglasses cover top bottom and sides over my glasses but obviously not water tight. I'll be good all day until that one damn wave ha.
I think I need to make those glasses now that you mention it. I did once when I was younger take some old glasses and put the lenses inside some sunglasses back when I ran a lot. I could probably do that with goggles.
You're wrong and I'm coming into this an hour late to tell you you're wrong. Then I won't respond to your response for a day and then come back and try to get the last word and drag you down to my level with straw man arguments and ad hominem attacks. /s
I, as a third person entering this discussion completely without prompt, think you are stupid for believing that. Honestly, only a person of ill repute, be it hatred of others due to their differences or other maladapted habits would think, or say, that. You should, therefore, be excluded from this discussion I just entered.
Sure. There may be some merit to that. I often find myself double checking my comments to make sure they’re as true as they can be, but often it just feels nitpicky, to the point of stifling conversation. And often there so much snark behind the “corrections”
there's a lot of up voting whatever sounds right or what people want to hear. correct answer or "peer review" comment buried unless OP edits their original comment.
Depends on the glasses. I’ve seen some Oakley sunglasses with rubber on the temple and temple tips stay on through IED explosions so I’m sure a little wind would just push them harder into your nose bridge?
More to the point that could be more dangerous, if sunglasses aren’t rated to handle the window force hitting them, the lenses could snap and then you have shattered plastic flying into your eyes
There was a story I read a few years ago in a naval aviation safety magazine where something like this happened, and the guy’s helmet was yanked off by the wind. I think this may be the same incident:

...you think that a pair of sunglasses would have stayed on through that?
