Default XKD's Love these glasses!

Bought some Original KD's for my wife last year and she fell in love with them. Since I have a skull like a lowland gorilla, they didn't fit me at all lol! So I looked at their website and saw they offer the XKD's that are made for larger headed individuals like myself. I have to say I love these glasses, they don't fog up on me like some of the riding glasses that have the foam or rubber around the eyepieces. Anyone else using these, and what do you think?

i wore kd's before jax on soa. but not for riding. i like something that gives a little more wind protection. but they are great when driving the car, or just out and about. besides, wgaf what jax wears? if you don't want to be labeled a poser because they wear something on soa, then you've gotta forgo the levi's and white sneakers.....

I ordered 2 pairs of the original ones yesterday. Sunglasses do not last me very long until they break. I figure at $9 a pair, I'll get a couple for a back up

Used to wear them all the time before I had to go back to prescription glasses. Love 'em...

I wear the reg KDs. They block the wind pretty good, have great peripheral, and dirt cheap!

I used to wear KD's when I was younger. I cried a little when I couldn't wear them anymore cause my big nugget. I just saw the new X's yesterday and was thinking of ordering a pair or 2.

I love KDs as well! I usually carry at least 4 pairs in the saddle bags. Different shades/colours, and you never know when someone needs a pair.

I've given women a ride who didn't have glasses. I've ran into another rider I've never met at a gas station, who has his fly off his face. Lost mine on the highway. ETC.

Also, when I break a pair, say I break the frame, I keep the arms. Or break the arm, keep the frame. Also keep the screws, they are very useful!

Another thing I've noticed about them...

On the arm, where the hinge is... Sometimes there is a metal pin sticking outta the arm. That causes the arm to not fold out far enough. That causes me headaches, the squeezing pressure on my head. Dremel that pin off, and they fit your face better, no more squeezing.
