I have the Panoptics transitional lenses. They work great. Block the sun in the day and clear at night. The only negative comment would be that they cut back some of your peripheral vision because the foam if fairly thick but they do keep debris from entering the eye.

Panoptx are pricey but I feel they are worth it. They have everything you mention (transition, removable foam inserts, etc.).

They do not get dark enough on sunny days, but they work well at night. I am thinking about getting another pair of just the sunglasses for daytime riding when it's really bright and sunny.

ORIGINAL: fattizzi

Thanks for the replies. So far I like the WileyX glasses. They do have day/night. I dont like the panoptx shades. They block too much of my view.

I have a pair of panoptix day/night and I dont like them.

If anyone would like to buy them from me, I will sell them to someone for 75.00 with the case and strap. I only wore them a handfull of times. They are the day/night ones with the foam rubber to seal out the wind and debris. Just reply here and I will send them out asap.

These have the same foam style I have on my current panoptx sunglasses. For me, I dont find it comfortable. I like the Wilexy X XL1's the best. I had a pair, but I got rid of them for the Panoptx....oh well, live and learn.
