RX Eyewear
I wear prescription sunglasses most of the time but when I'm not sure what the weather is going to do, I throw on Guard-Dog Evader 1 OTGs over my glasses.

Big fan of Wiley X. I just recently switched from the XL-1's to the AirRage. Easy transition but the lens area is a tad bit smaller which took a bit of getting used to. No problems with the AirRage. I especially like the foam rubber insert, it snaps into the frame and is very secure compared to the XL-1's. Excellent quality glasses. I put in a pair of transition Xtractive prescription lenses for distance vision. It's nice not to have to change lenses anymore when the sun goes down. They don't get quite as dark as sunglasses but pretty darn close and well worth the cash. There is a very slight grayish tint when they turn back to clear but it is hardly noticeable.

I have a pair that I like but had to have a local shop cut new set of Rx lenses. I sent my prescription I ordered and they sent a regular bifocal with the line cut in and the line was right in the middle of my normal vision line. My new ones have no line bifocal with transition tinting and they are good. No issue with the curvature but my Rx is not that big and only like 1.75

I have had the Wiley X Censors for almost a year now, and I love them. Had problems with them at first, the lenses kept popping out of the frame. Sent them back got new lenses and they popped out too. Second time they went back they finally put a bevel around the edge of the lenses and I have not had any problem with them since. Plan to get another pair here in the next couple months once I get my next eye exam.

I've had a Wiley X of whatever model for around 8 years. I broke the frames in half the first year doing something stupid. They were replaced for free and I was given new foam inserts, 2 straps and a case as well. Now that is service. I had the prescription changed a couple of years ago and I too have an astigmatism in one eye. No problem.
Mine are a dark green polarized version. On my next exam I will up-date the scrip and buy a second pair with photo gray transition lens.
BTW, Like my bike I use Pledge to clean the glasses. Works like a charm and I have at least 80,000 miles of dead bugs cleaned off them.

I have used them for years, RX and transition lens. Work great, I dont use the gasket, found no need for it. word of caution, some of their frames have poor peripheral vision, look for the lens that wraps around.

You are lucky cause I can hardly see over 70 with regular sunglasses and no shield. Problem solved with the Wileys. My brother in Oregon never uses the windshields on his Harleys unless we are on a long trip.
