Global Vision Aviator-2 FM.
You could have gotten a pair free if you were fast enough. They were on the top of the gas pump at Traveler Rest on SR-12 near Lolo, or another pair in Enumclaw at the Chevron Station. Damn, I hate it when it is clouding up and getting dark when I stop for gas, then several miles down the road I remember my Aviators. There is also a pair at the bottom of the Snake river, but I would not bother looking for them. It was spring with the glacial melt waters. They are probably in the Pacific by now.
Calling to let you know how much I like these glasses.

I was using global vision transitions my wife bought for me - great glasses for not a ton of money. Then had to go prescription. Work pays up to $200 for prescription safety's - got prescription Wiley-x tides with anti fog and transitions for $240 from RX-safety online. Better for work and for riding than any of the "typical" prescription safety's I could find at most optical places.
Transitions aren't as dark as regular sun glasses, but I only notice once in a while. The convenience of not switching glasses when it gets dark outweighs this for me...

Ordered Wiley X echo frames with transition lenses on amazon. Saved about $30 over Harley. I knew I liked the frames so that helps at least ordering online and seems like a discontinued style so I jumped on it. I'll post a review when they come in.

About 6 years ago I bought a pair of Harley riding glasses....think I paid about $80 for them. Two weeks later some body stole them from the bar while I was taking a leak.
Long story short...bought a 6 pack of these for less than $16(shipped). They block wind superbly, are UV protectant and scratch resistant. I figure if they get stolen or scratched....no big deal...just grab another pair. Btw, they look pretty good for about $2 a pair. Anyways, here they are.

Did I mention that I'm still wearing the first pair after 6 years? Have 5 spares in garage just in case.
