okay.. so what is the DNA Wisdom for good eye protection with Brooklands screens, my eyes tend to stream so goggles or close fitting glasses will be needed i think.. also i am thinking a leather flying helmet will offer some protection from the draught and pebbles to the head.

Views?

I use Adidas ClimaCool glasses - can be (sun) glasses, or goggles... and have interchangeable lenses.
Can also use prescription inserts.

As for head ware, I do have a leather flying helmet, but actually use a beanie most of the time (when cold).
In the sun I don't bother, or wear a buff as a cap:

It varies for me depending on weather, I also use mine in all weathers all year,
Red hot in France = speedos and ray bans.
Long bits on motorways to get there = neck buff and Hagloffs beanie and clear cycling type glasses or wrap was round ray bans http://www.blazesunglasses.com/ray-ban-rb8305-tech-dark-carbon-sunglasses.html/?utm_s ource=GoogleShoping&utm_medium=cpc
if it's wet or over a 2 hr drive full face lid.
Dry winter uk blat = neck buff and as above glasses.lid in boot in case of rain( it hurts dude)
I've tried Wiley x glasses/ goggles, found them uncomfortable with strap, let too much light in sides with arms.
Oakley iridium ski goggles, comfy as fook but looked a tool.( same for ski helmet)

Roll cage and Brooklands, for last 3 years, put the screen on for one blat with the mrs to keep her quite but took it off as soon as I got back, hideously drafty with no doors,. Brooklands is the way ,far more comfortable environment with no or half doors.

Am in same position as Minty in that I do get eyes streaming when in wind flow. was thinking of motorcycle sun glasses as they usually have a soft pad seal and side protection. was thinking of just ray bans, but lost a pair once when I looked over my shoulder during an overtake (was in an MGB) and wind whipped them off my face.
