I just had my eye doc order me a pair of the Wiley X Blink glasses with transition lenses. I tried the pair on they had and they fit very nicely and come with the optional elastic strap. They have a removable foam gasket as well and the optics were fantastic. I used my vision frame benefits and only cost me $11.00, regular price was $140.00...

I had Panoptyx, now 7eye, and while the eyewear was ok, the pair I had, the screw on one of the arms couldn't be tightened. I contacted 7eye and they said the warranty was for 1 year. So to me, their warranty stinks and they lost me as a customer for life.
I currently have a pair of Wiley X (HD's Airrage model with the newest partial polarization that isn't available in the Wiley X lineup) and they work great and they have a lifetime warranty. They have a removable eye foam pad for wind protection. Got them from Kutter with a great discount.

I hope the Predators have shatter resistant and not glass lenses! One small object and you might lose an eye.

Look at bicycle web sites such as Colorado Cyclist. Lots of choices with good quality, wind protection and shatter resistant.

I never tried glasses with the foam, although my wife bought a pair of the Harley/Wiley-X Climate Control and loves them. I didn't want to spend over $100 on something I wasn't sure I was going to like.

A couple weeks ago at Seminole HD I found "Maxx" brand sunglasses with the foam insert for $20, so I bought a pair. I'm sold (On the foam). Reduces how much you "blink" and that helps keep your eyes from drying out. Look for "Maxx" if you want to test out a cheap pair before you drop large on the foam glasses.

Man, are you lucky your eyes are good enough to not need corrective lenses. But, sooner or later, it will happen, and you will be paying $250-500 for those same foam backed sunglasses.
