I have two pair of JP-2s. Daytime polarized and a clear pair for night. I have to wear prescription lenses. That’s the reason for not getting interchangeable lenses.

I use the SG1 with light adjusting lenses. i like them for the most part. i wear mine with the earpieces and they are a little flimsy sort of. they do let some breeze around the edges. mine get dark enough so far but i haven't worn them riding into direct bright sunlite. still like them just the same.

Make sure you try them on before you buy. I spent big $$ for a pair online only to find out that they didn't fit the bridge of my nose.

I have the light adjusting SG-1s, and although I haven't had a fogging problem,they do let some air in around the sides and they do not darken as much asI would like. I'm going to get the darker interchangable lenses.

I have a pair of Oakley's that work great, as long as I don't wearthe 3/4 helmet.

Bottom line, nothing will be perfect for everybody. But do go and try them on if you can.

got two pair. I have the glasses since they don't lift or flutter even when turning my head sideways. when you have glasses like that, why get googles?

I use the Wiley-X with the "tranistion lenses" they work great. I use them for day and night.

SG-1's here,prescription sunglass lenses.
No problems, do wish the frames were adjustable though, feel loose.
Will fly home and pickup the amber lenses that I ordered, for night or low light days.
Glad to hear the Wiley's worked for those of you in the armed forces!!
It was one of the things my optician told me before I bought them.
Thank you for your service for our country!!

I have the prescription Wiley-X sunglasses.....very satisfied with the frames. They've been smashed at the bottom of my saddlebags a few times and came out unscathed. They seem to fit kind of big but it might be because it's difficult to curve prescription lenses without screwing up the rx.

Got a pair of Wiley and panotyx. Like the wiley better. Think it has to do with how yer face fits in the glasses.
