Wiley X vs. Harley sunglasses

Wiley X

I have had a set of Wiley X Roamer II for a few years now. They came with a couple of set of lenses. They provide good coverage around the eye to keep wind and dust out. The iridium coated lenses are not quite dark enough for my liking but still good.

I have two pairs of Wiley X and I love them. I have prescription lenses and have to ride with my glasses on so I fairly picky about what I wear. I have not owned Panoptix so I cannot compare but you will not go wrong with Wiley-X

I also need prescription lenses and went with a pair of Wiley-X without the foam (an older pair had the foam and made the glasses only useable on the bike). I really like them but sometimes wish I would have just gotten new lenses for the old pair because the foam seal helps makes the lenses seem darker and keeps dust and junk out of the eyes.

Both make good glasses and if you look around you can find the ones that have 2-3 interchageable lenses for different riding conditions !!

I had 2 pairs Wiley X (with the foam) and they both broke when I was trying to change out to put the strap on to convert them to googles (I prefer to ride in the rain that way). Otherwise I liked them. Never used the HD glasses, but I am looking to get a pair to try them out.
