I have a pair of Panoptx (7Eye) DiabloCV 24/7 glasses and love them.

When I went down last April 25th, my glasses got a bit messed up and after an email to 7Eye, they told me to send the glasses along with $50.00 + $7.50 S&H and they would replace the lenses. Since $57.50 is significantly less than buying new ones @ $219...I went that route. Took 7 days total from day I shipped to day of receipt back in my hands.

Panoptx/7Eye glasses are great, block out all UV A/UV B and if you get the 24/7 glasses, you don't have to switch out lenses or glasses when it gets dark.

Having had Lasik in 2003, these glasses are the best I've owned for maintaining eye comfort for many hours! I highly recommend them.

I bought a pair of the 7Eye Taku when they were on sale at my local dealership. They are very good grade with 24/7 lens and they have the permanent foam padding around the lenses to seal out most of the wind. I too wear contacts and they work great. I wanted something that would work in sun, rain, and at night and these fit the bill. At less than $150 they were, in my opinion, a real bargain since they came with a hard case, soft pouch, and adjustable strap. Go to their website for complete description of each style. I definitely think you will be satisfied with the quality and value.

Bought the Panoptx Warrior-V Ballistic (yes, probably overkill) with amber lenses and have worn them for two full riding seasons day and night. Great glasses; worth the big money. Replaced the foam eyecups this year because they were just starting to deteriorate (although I probably could've squeezed another season out of them). Highly recommend.

I've had my Panoptix Raptor transition glasses for 3 years and love them. Fit my face great and keeps the dust and crap out of my eyes. Expensive, but worth it.
