Default Glasses

I need a new pair of sunglasses and want some suggestions. I had a pair picked out from previous forum discussions, but I can't seem to remember the brand and I can't find anything by searching "glasses" or "shades" or anything on the search tool.
So, any help would be appriciated. The brand I looked at had transitions lenses.

Thank in advance

Wiley is good but they are, as well as most, very expensive. I go to my local Safety supply store and I can buy an entire case of very nice looking safety glasses for what ONE pair of Wiley's cost. I can also then choose lens colors or just go clear. AND if I lose them, I only lost $6.00 instead of $80.00. Much better protection than regular sunglasses (Yes, I know Wiley's are ANSI Z87.1).

Look at the Crews line at crewsinc.com or UVEX at UVEX.com.

I personally prefer the Uvex Tomcat. Cool, good wraparound and not optical distortion. Don't let your need for a logo rob your pocketbook.If you must have a logo, Harley has a logo line of safety glasses that are very good.

PanOptx has the dark transitionals, remember you get what you pay for. But if you do lose things easily go cheap.....
