Default Transitional glasses

I'm looking for some Transitional glasses (clear to dark) with a goggle strap for under $100.

What kind do you have?
Where did you get them?

Try Flyingpig.com (I think that's the name)...I have two pair with the foam inserts that pop off. I think I paid about $50 each in MB.

Been using them for a few years and for the price, they work well.

I got some Panoptics that were transitional for $99. I got lucky cuz they were last years model and my dealer was having a sale on them. They usually retail for $199. I love them. I would vouch for Panoptics.

I threw down the money for the $200 dollar pair of the transitional panoptyx and I dont like em. Great quality, i like the air dams but theyre just not dark enough for day riding for me. I use em as night glasses.

I have the wiley sg-1. Great glasses but the transition lenses are not dark enough on bright days. They also are not as clear as regular clears at night. I found a set a darks and a set of clears on ebay so no I have 3 sets of lenses. I still use the transitions occasionally on overcast days where the sun is in and out. I've seen Wiley's under a hundred on ebay.

Transitional glasses do not get dark enough in bright sunlight........

I don't buy 'em anymore, I bought some 7 EYE PANOPTICS and they look great and they're dark in sunlight....... actually bought them at the Harley Dealer

I bought a pair of H-D profile goggles last year for $99. Then bought the day/night transitional lenses when they first came out. They are perfectly clear at night and almost as dark as the dark smoke lens that came with the profile goggles. Check them out at the dealer.
