Default goggles

For you open cockpit flyers: what are the RIGHT goggles to get?

I was reading in Neil William's aerobatics book that he would always
take goggles with him -- even in closed cockpit. Why? You never really
know if a bird or other accident might take out the windshield. In
fact, there is a fairly recent thread about a mid-air in which the
windshield of a C152 was essentially knocked out but the plane still
managed to land. Good time to have the goggs -- if you are in a
position to put them on afterward.

That's maybe pretty damned rare. If you've had your windshield knocked
out I'd like to hear about it.

Mostly, it's a question for the open cockpit guys.
