I'm partial to Panoptx (now 7Eye). I have to wear rigid contact lenses so I really have no choice but to wear the best sealing eye protection I can find. I've been real lucky buying them on eBay for a LOT less than retail.

+1 on the Wileys. I prefer yellow lenses for night riding.

Sometime I forget how lucky I am to live where I do!! I have the weekly Orange County Marketplace (upscale swapmeet) & monthly Long Beach motorcycle swapmeet. At either one, I can get 3 or 4 pair of glasses, anything from super dark to clear with the foam surrounds to keep out excess air, for $20.00, including a soft case for each pair! No name brands here...but, what the "F" do I care! $40.00- $60.00 a year for both me & the OL, you get a scratch, toss 'em & grab a new pair! Throw 'em in the tour pack/saddlebags who cares! Buddy/or new friend breaks his/hers & needs a pair, here ya go! I used to do the whole name brand/interchangeable lens type deal...No more! Got too many more important things to spend my $$ on! And for thoses of you who are about to say "are they safe"; I've had a rock (I guess) break these as I've had the one I paid $100.00+ per pair break! Both just cracked the lens...lucky? maybe...I guess I'm just willing to take my chances!

I bought several pairs of the high $$ HD glasses only to be disapointed.
My brother suggested these Pyramex Intruder safety glasses mainly cause you can turn your head at any speed (not wearing a helmet) and they stay on as well as not letting any air thru to your eyes. When I saw they were $0.99 each I was very skeptical but bought 4 pairs, two clear and two shaded. Needless to say I was so impressed I went back later that day and bought a box of 12. If I lose or break a set I surely wont cry, I'll just grab another set out of the box/bag and grin.

I have been using Pyramex zones for years. They are cheap but the Exceed ANSI Z87.1-2003 High Impact Requirement. Having taken a rock to the eye that came off a truck on the highway at 65mph I was shocked at how well they did.

I also use safteyglassesusa.

To me anyway riding glasses are like seats. You have to experiment a bit to see what fits and what doesn't.
