Default What riding glasses do you recommend??

Hello all. Not sure if this is where to post this or not? I couldnt find a forum that looked right but if there is one, maybe someone could direct me , I'm new to this site. Anyways, I am looking for a good pair or riding glasses. I want dusk to dawn auto changing lenses , a shatter proof lens, maybe uv blocking. I don't mind spending the money, but I want to get the most for my money! Saw some good words on wiley x. What's good, whats been holding up for you guys, and recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have a pair of panoptix transition glasses and love them. They are a bit pricy, but definitely worth it my opinion.

I had some auto darking lens that were only $40 and they worked great but they fell apart due to the sun screen that i had on. Made them brittle. after the second pair I gave up and got some wide amber cheap ones from the grocery store for about $12. They keep the wind and sand out of my eyes.

Consider the SportRx.com website for all the brands. I have their G102 goggles, well made, comfortable. Great glasses, goggles, services.

Cheapest pair that cycle gear/ rally sells. I use the ones with gaskets around edges they do a good job of keepin dust/debris out of the eyes and don't look as stupid as goggles.

Do any of the transition ones get truly dark enough during the day? Problem with mine is they get dark but still too bright for sunny day riding.
