RE: Glasses
There is nothing better than "prescription ground polarized lenses". (ask an optition)Transition lenses do not provide the same protection as polarized. I can really tell the difference between the two. I know that "ray ban" quality polarized lenses do not even compare to a prescription ground lens. I don't know how the newer, higher end, off the shelf polarizedlenses mightcompare to prescription ground polarizedlenses.

RE: Glasses
I use Harley Branded saftey glasses that cost less than $13 per pair. They come in clear, smoke and mirrored. They are optically very clear, they fit like googles, they are comfortable and look good.
You can get them at http://workingperson.com/brands/1/Ha...n+Eyewear.html and on eBay.

RE: Glasses
I have a pair of Body specs... http://www.bodyspecs.com/When I got mine, I paid less than $50... seems more like they were $39. Anyways, they are great. They come with three pair of lens. Yellow, clear, and tinted (I got blue, but they had grey). They are easy to swap out, and I have had no trouble with them, for the two years I have worn them. They come with the case, a lens cloth, and a strap. You can remove the arms, and replace it with the strap, making a set of goggles. But, what I really like about them is that they have a removable foam/rubber inner frame, to block out the wind. They work great traveling at a high rate of speed, and when you get to your destination, you slip off the rubber/foam frame, and you have a nice enough pair of sunglasses, that will not make your eyes sweat (they breathe well)... I did look at the panoptx recently, because I would like to have the transition lenes, but for the price (and I heard they don't get that dark), I will keep my body specs...

RE: Glasses
KD's still the best and at 5 bucks a pair, pick up a dozen or so! And, quiet as it's kept, they ain't that easy to break! *Bike Week they go up to about $12, hmmm..?
Been wearing them since... never mind, long time. If it ain't broke don't fix it...
Oh, did I mention the "old school cool" factor
?

RE: Glasses
Most of the cheap ones won't have the foam, to keep the dirt out of your eyes..and at 80 mph that can come in handy.....but there are a couple (Bobster makes some that aren't expensive with foam). I do like the Wiley X glasses, but on those and the Panoptx, I found that the transition lenses never get dark enough.
