I had a pair of Oakley M Frame Sweeps for about 13 years before I lost them Labor Day weekend. A little expensive but if you can hold on to them as long as I did, well worth the money. Just wished they where polorized. The Oakley Radars are polorized, but damn, they are $255 so they are still on the wish list.

Sure do miss those M Frames, but have learned my lesson.

Smith and Wesson Magnums...I go thru 5 or 6 pair a year cuz I either scratch the lenses or lose them. Usually get them from safetyglassesusa.com at less than $7 a pair.

Panoptx is my choice. I wear contacts and I've never had a problem with my vision even going 70+ mph. The eyecup is sealed perfectly around my eyes. I use the day/night lens. I wish they were polarized as well but overall I give them an A-.
It is very important to try various models, they all fit around your eyes differently. The Raptor is perfect for my face.

I'll second the Serengetti's.Been wearing them for years.They can be a little pricey but well worth it.I have a pair for riding and another pair for everyday use.Excellent lenses,one of the best,especially their vermilion or "rose" lenses.

I really like Oakley's, but my fav is Maui Jim.... Both are expensive, but there's always e-bay.

I sport a pair of yellow lenses in this style for low light, I just wish they stopped more wind. Oh well my Bobster converts with 3 lenses, goggle strap and glasses arms will be here in a few.
