Photochromic riding glasses
I'm thinking of getting a pair of Photochromic glasses for riding and wondered what anyone else is wearing and if they're happy with them. I'm hoping not to spend more than $100 on them so are there any in that price range that are any good?

I use Berkley Polarized magnifier readers from Wal-Mart. $18.00. Photochromatic (akaTransitions) don't get dark enough and they are not polarized which greatly reduces glare.

I wear these and they are only $30:

I take a little acetone to the emblem on the side and it rubs right off. I've had 2 pairs of them and they are great on sunny days or at night.

I wear Rx made by eyebuydirect.com ( for over 10 years.)
wayfarer type frames work for me- they call them "Ronnie".
with photochromic, UV and anti scratch coatings, my progressive Rx costs about $120.
for a non RX probably about your budget-if you choose the generic "photochromatic"- the "Transitions" brand are about $60 more
these are a shatter-proof polycarbonate
they get dark enough for me outdoors, light enough indoors- the "transition" may take a few minutes depending on temperature ( faster when cool)

This! My bi-focal dark photo-gray safety glasses (can't go in the shop without them) are pretty much my everything glasses. I have goggles that go over them for the dirt bike. Need "inbetweeners" for the computer. Sucks getting old...
