There are really two groups here, those who need prescription lens and have to pay through the nose and those who can buy off the shelf and throw them away.

had panoptx with the day/night transitional lenses. The lenses stopped working one month after warranty expired (13 month) e-mailed company told them about it. They told me to send them in and they replaced the lenses free of charge.

Throw them away and buy the transitional glasses that Harley sells. I love them and have had them for over three yrs and 100000+ miles

I've had my Pans convertibles going on 7yrs.&nbsp\\; The foam insert wore out about a 1yr ago.&nbsp\\; I ask the merchandise girl at my local HD dealer if I could order a foam insert replacement.&nbsp\\; She took my phone number and called me 2 weeks later.&nbsp\\; I went in and she gave them to me no charge saying the Pan rep gave them to her.&nbsp\\; I was very happy

I have Panoptx already and I have ones with a rubber gasket, less than three (3) months of owning them, and they have fallen apart twice.&nbsp\\; I dont want to send them in and not have any glasses for how ever long, and I feel that for the price that should last longer than 3 months!!!
&nbsp\\;
Panoptx so far NO good!!!

I've got the Panoptx Bora's with prescription lens and am very happy.&nbsp\\; No durability issues whatsoever but I keep them in the case when not wearing them.&nbsp\\; Best fitting motorcycle glasses for someone with a large head.
