Love My WileyX goggles as well! And I should be for the small fortune I paid. Be carefull with the flexable frames and perscription Lenses. I took them in to get measured for the two sets of lenses (grey, and clear). no problem. When I got them back all looked fine when I put them on in the store. It wasn't till I went to go for my first ride that I found out the helmet strap would push in on the arms causing the frame to flex slightly throwing the perscription off! nothing like having blurry vision before the wind buffeting! Long story short had to get another two sets of lenses made and had the measurements done while wearing the glasses and my helmet!

I have prescription wrap around sunglasses I wear. My eyeglasses are progressive bifocal as well but they are plastic lenses and so light in weight they just bounce around on my nose while riding. My sunglasses are not bifocal but I don't have a problem seeing with them since most of what I look at is at a distance.
For the last three years I've been wearing Rec Spec "BIKER" frames with RX transition lenes. They work perfect, I wear them all day everyday because I also wear them as safety glasses for work. I just got a new RX and was thinking about going with the WileyX (with removable foam liner)for the next go around.

I have a pair with progressive transition lenses. Cheap they are not but were well worth the money. I was wearing goggles over my glasses and after an hour or so they hurt so bad I had to stop and take it all of to reposition the whole setup and every hour thereafter.
The magnets are good to 130mph.

I've been wearing the "Sport" glasses from Wal-Mart. Comes with the foam stuff to block the wind and can be had with either temple pieces or straps. I get them with the polarized lens and have had no problem with fogging. They really help with the wind compared to my regular glasses, are comfortable all day, and are inexpensive to boot.

When it's really cold, I wear the Airfoil googles over my progressive lenses. In warmer temps, I wear Vistana sunglasses overtop of my normal glasses. Yep, 2 pair of glasses. Works well, even on long rides. Also have clear Cocoon overpair for riding at night.
