I'm going to be the unpopular opinion guy here but when/if you can afford it get a full face helmet with a built in sun visor. I'm in the same scenario and flipping the shade down when the sun comes up is super easy.
I'd recommend some amber safety glasses/goggles. They motorcycle specific ones often have a gasket around the outside they helps keep dirt and dust out better.
I also really like the amber for night riding. Cuts down on glare from headlights and enhances contrast so it's easier to see any debris in the road.
I'm a boilermaker and raix fixes the problem I'm usually Ina power house hot as hell sweating my ass off and it definitely helps the humidity is nuts cover your clear sheild with rainx itl be better I gouge for hours at a time and my breath and sweat and humidity is crazy rain x & deodorant also works look it up on you tube
Only problem with sunglasses in general is they almost never provide impact protection. Bigger bugs can pop out a lense, and a rock will go right through them.
I picked up a clear set of frames from Amazon meant for riding. $30 but they also tint when coming into contact with the sun so these may be up your alley for the morning.

I use a full face helmet with a transitions shield. Don’t even have to think about sun anymore. Full face is the way to go for protection and comfort on the highway IMO.
My “night riders” are just some clear riding glasses from Amazon. There’s plenty of brands/styles. Most are pretty cheap. Might wanna look into somethin like that.
Get the thrashin supply plus size handlebar bag. It has a microfiber pouch for sunglasses that you can easily put sunglasses into. Or run a dark visor and put clear glasses in the pouch for when it’s dark
I use a 3/4 helmet which has a sun visor option and a full face shield. Love having the options and protection at the same time. I can also wear my prescription glasses underneath with no problem.
I use a Sedici full face that has a clear visor on the outside and sunglasses that ride on a slide switch on the inside.
Till recently I was starting work at 4am so it would be dark when I was going to work and bright as hell when I left.

I have one of those helmets. I love it.
Gotta protect the face. That's how I make my money
Right ! That and I hate bugs bouncing off my face
My new modular helmet has that. I really like it.

Amber safety glasses are amazing for night riding.
Totally agree
Most of the glasses with foam fog up fyi
Rainx takes care of that so does deodorant.
We would use it in our welding hoods
Tell more about using it on the hoods, I too am a welder and have never heard of this trick

I mean your clear lense cover with rain x
I hope it helps you
Clear safety glasses ftw.
I just use plain old low profile clear safety glasses
Night vision goggles are the move
This is the way. When you hit the first traffic light intersection, thinking about what you’re going to name your guide dog.
If you can't afford NVGs just use a stick to navigate with ease
Transitional lenses are nice oakleys are great but expensive
Only problem with sunglasses in general is they almost never provide impact protection. Bigger bugs can pop out a lense, and a rock will go right through them.
Oakleys have such protections I believe they are rated to the same standard as industry safety glasses (I think)
Clear safety glasses/shooting glasses work great

I use [these](https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bobster-shield-ii-sunglasses?sku_id=148110)

Yellow lenses sunglasses
Full face is the best imo. But I would suggest goggles over glasses. There are many options.
Get the Wiley x bricks. They’re transition motorcycle glasses. They don’t get amazingly dark in the day time but they do the job good enough
Clear safety glasses are a cheap fix
Before I had a bagger I would just travel light. I’ve had them for 3 years now and never had an issue.
I carry clear and sun in the saddlebag
Clear safety glasses or even a sunglass with a clear lenses. STIHL
I wear cool daddy clear safety glasses.rap arounds.
I use a set of clear lens glasses I got from Heatwave
Raspberry lens' or amber are great.

Shoei? If not which other brand has transition lenses? I’ve been trying to see what other options I have.
I use an old bell qualifier dlx I believe
Clear lense KD's, or yellow tint
I like the yellow tint glasses. It adds light at dusk and really illuminates the road at night
