RE: Panoptx Sunglasses
im on my second pair. these have the prescription day/night lenses... they were about $300 and theyre definitely worth it. the only thing i dont like about them is that they dont get REALLY dark during the day. its a trade-off for not having to carry a clear pair with me though.
id definitely recommend them.

Well I have had some good Experience with them and I have sold them at rallies through the dealer, as well so this is not a sales pitch I swear. First PanOptx have addressed the issue some riders have had with the glasses not getting dark enough during the day and the have a insert on the convertable models that have a pre tinted lens in it. That should solve that problem and I have worn mine for both Riding and Gunning in a Open Turret in Iraq. The Glasses preformed Great. The only Problem I have run into is my Lenses are scrached, But 16 Months in a Iraq Desert, they have held up longer than I really expected them too. The July American Iron Mag Has a write up on the New inserts. If you have any Questions that I might know feel free to PM me.

RE: Panoptx Sunglasses
Well from what the Article said it is a 45% tint on the lenses that are on the Foam which you swich out onthe CV models and the foam is cut different to work. The Review said that they worked great but then there is always the problem of carrying around the extra foam so when the sun goes down you need to swich out the foam. I haven't tried them but I am sure that the Dealer will carry them so they might let you try them out in your current model, as long as the have the Removable eye cups.

If a pair came to me free I'd give them away.The first pair I had the foam kept falling off the frames.Yeah, they replaced them, but I got tired of sending them back to be fixed.The second pair the same thing.They hit the trash that time, not the mailbox.

RE: Panoptx Sunglasses
I have two pair, and I love 'em. My day/night broken in half while taking them off. Sent 'em in and got 'em back with new frames in 3 days.

RE: Panoptx Sunglasses
Oh I forgot one thing to the foam has been improved over the years and the Key reason that it falls apart quickly is that you shouldn't put them ontop of your head becasue of the sweat and oils from your hair will deteriate the Foam Quicker. Just a little FYI

Love my Raptors!!! They are Rx. I will buy them again when I need a new pair. Had Wileys, these are much better....
