I've had wiley x's and they were porely made, and would not honor warranty. I do have a pair of HD Bones for night riding and love them. I where Spy Optics for day time riding and they do great at higher speeds.

I now wear glasses.

I have horn rim frames like rayban wayfarers, that is the only frame and lens shape which didn't give turbulence behind the lens.

Beofre I need a presription, I would buy wayfarers and have a piece of polycarbonate ( high impact) with UV coating and transistions--- and no prescription.

I used to get oakleys free, but for riding the curved lens sometimes distorted, and often had weird light reflections on the inside of the curved lens piece

I now get my glasses from eyebuydirect.com, style "ronnie" ( or ronny) is similar to wayfarer--- with coatings everything about $120 ( progressives)
