If there is an army navy store neat you go take a look at what you can find there. I found replica WWII british and US aviator goggles for 1/2 the price of what the motorcycle shops wanted for them. The American ones look cooler but the british ones will fit over you galsses if you wear them.

There are also places that sell the 1930's style aviatior small goggles but they are usually over 100 bucks. High quality through (i have a pair also).

My emgo generic avaitor goggles cost me less than $20 new and are the pair I use the most. Cheap, durable, and they fit over a jet helmet if you have one.

For a jet helmet the best thing I have found, if you are not going for that vintage look, is a pair of sunglasses with a little rubber gasket around them. I forget who makes them but I got a pair from a friend who ran a vespa shop. They look like just a regular pair of sunglasses but that little rubber gasket really keeps the wind out. I was in my local harley bike shop last week and saw a similar set for $60.

here is a pair similar to what I have on ebay for $23:

For 3/4 helmets I don't generally like stretching my elastic band around the whole helmet because it gets all stretched out and then I can't use it with my pudding bowl. Glasses are the way to go with a jet style davida.
