Help Needed - goggles

Evening all, I'm after some help. I have the need for some goggles.
I have been shown some and they are exactly what I want.

They look like wrap around sunglasses, but they have a foam ring around them where they come into contact with the face. They have an elastic strap rather than arms like conventional glasses. They come with clear and tinted lenses.

I have tried, tactical glasses, close enough but not right. I have been informed the glasses I'm after are equestrian glasses but I can't find them anywhere.
So can the informed masses of D2 help me out?? 110 D250 SE HT

Most goggles and spectacles have a code printed or engraved on them.
Can you ask your friend for the codes.
Type codes into Google and they will come up.

I remember a type that you describe, I used to list them at cyclestore, though they stopped doing them.

Rudy Project do a goggle/sunglasses combo, that come with an elastic strap that clip on the arms....

I have a several pairs of issue goggles/glasses from Afghan but not what I want.
Just mailed my mate for a brand and codes of the glasses he has.
Thanks for all the advice though. Some good fallback options. Thats the trouble of trying something and knowing thst they fit and work and are comfortable. 110 D250 SE HT

Those last 2 links look good but no prices. First link you need to log in. WHich I can't do as I don't have an account, and I don't want to be swamped with junk mail.

They do look good though 110 D250 SE HT
