Default Eyewear - Glasses??/

I am also looking for a day/night riding lenses. I want them to automatically switch to day/night and want them to have the foam cushion that removes and to look like regular sunglasses.

Anyone know of a set like this?

I know that a lot of folks here don't like them, but I really do love my Panoptix. They are very expensive, or at least the one's I have are. 200.00. But they do all that you are asking. I've also heard good things about the "Wiley glasses" but I'm not sure if they will change from day to night.

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.

One thing to keep in mind about the changing lenses, most people find they are not dark enough in the day and not light enough at night.

I'm curious to know how these work at night. Such as going from dark to meeting the headlights of an oncoming car.

Harley used to make a pair with interchangable lens and a strap to convert to goggles. I haven't been able to find them. A friend of mine has some called badlanders but the newer ones fit much looser than the original ones.....just my 2 cents worht....Tim
