These don't fit well at all. Lower area, at the cheek, big gap, lets a lot of air in, will dry contacts out. Find a local shop if you can, and try some on, see what fits your face best.

I like the wileys or rayban wrap arounds. I use to wear contacts but my eyes would always dry out, I hated it and almost gave up riding my scoot. I went for it and had Lasik donein November 2006. I hate to say it but it is a whole different world with eye ***** that work and things are crystal clear. I like this post cause it gives me other options on riding glasses. HAGO! Remi

I've got a pair of WileyX and they are the most over rated thing since teenage pu***.
I'm late for work. I'll rant later.

You can buy 10 pair of these for what you pay for some of the name brands.

Panoptx here. I neede prescription glasses. Expensive but worth it. Very comfy, no dry eyes, they restrict air but breath enough to stay dry in even 105 degree heat. Best deal I could find at the time was www.sunsmith.com. They were quick and provided good support during my order. Ofcourse, you could always buy 'em at the dealer for a $100 more - LOL

I also wear contacts when I ride, I went through the whole line of expensive spec's, so far the best I've found are called The Wrap, usually find them at the smaller after market shops, and they run about 10 bucks a pair, so if you sit on them or they get scuffed or scratched, they're cheap to replace.

I have the WileyX light adjusting glasses. Good glasses for fit, look, and night riding; however, the transition to dark forday riding is lack luster. The glasses are barely dark enough to qualify as sunglasses. They work for me great at night and I get by with them during the day. If you can live with a lighter tint sunglass then go WileyX. I may try the PanOptx next.
