Default BIKERSHADES.com - Prescription glasses... whose got 'em?

Just saw the website for Bikershades - looks like some pretty nice stuff. Anyone else here wearing these? If so, which ones, and how do you like them?

The frames don't seem that expensive, I wonder what the cost is once they make the lenses.

I have the Anacondas.... in Copper HD, polarized, photochromic (the cheaper one), smoke & yeller. Mine fit really well but after a while the ear end part really feels like it digs in this happens after the day is almost done. But up to that point they fit and ride nice. As the lens goes I could not tell the difference between the HD, polarized and smoke, to me they were the same lens. The cheaper transitions lens (brown to yellow) didn't darken enough for me. As for the vision part of this I can tell a touch of distortion when on the road passing signs. Not so much that I haven't bought several pairs. I always get the air dam and not the foam around the eyes as the foam seems to bounce and not hold tight to my mug. IMO stay away from the "buzzard" style ear piece as they hit my helmet they are too straight and long at least for me. I have other shades like 7's Oakley the pricey ones for me better vision but the fit is off for me, I wear them as everyday but not as my bike shades anymore and they have removable foam that I don't like riding with. For $20 they are imo a good buy and lasts about a year. Hope this helped.

If you can get by with "readers", I get my sunglasses from READERS.COM with a 1.75 correction. Hundreds to choose from and they are great sunglasses. I've got about 5 pair.
