Default Any Riding Glasses w/ Transition Lenses That You Like?

I prefer not to carry an extra pair of spec's with me when I ride, I have a Street Bob, with 0 storage (that's another issue, lol).

I have about 4 pairs that I use throughout a season. I would LOVE to just carry one pair. The one's I wear the most are a yellow lensed Sawtooth, which is just a cheap pair I got online, and a tinted pair by 7eye that I found on Ebay. The yellows are great at night, but offer little to no protection and relief during the day.

A lot of manufacturer's make lenses that tint in the sun and clear themselves in the dark, but most online reviews claim that they don't get dark enough during the day and the riders feel like their eyes are strained.

I'm just wondering if any of you have stumbled across a pair that actually WORK.

I'll also say this, I'm one of those guys that need a good seal and tend to buy glasses with padding. I always have issues with wind at the lower, outside areas of my eyes.

I also don't mind paying a little $$ if they get the job done.

Anyone??

My sister manages an eyeglass store in Greenwich, CT. I have all my prescription shooting glasses some yellow and some transition made there. The new transitions are awesome. Neil in the store fits lenses of all concoctions into frames for me. He is awesome. Store is optical Options, ask for Neil phone contact is (203) 661-2020. Im sure it will go well. Tell them Johnny said to call.
