I have a pair of Smith Voodoo sunglasses with interchangeable lenses that I've had over 4 years, so far. I'm looking at Wiley-X or 7eye with the transitional lenses for my next pair.

I have 2 pairs of Wiley-x transitional glasses, it would be nice if they were a bit darker in the daytime but they have very good optics, As for 7eye I hope they are good , they are twice the price of Wiley-xes.

I can only use them at night since they hardly get dark now. For those of you with the newer versions, have you experienced the same problems or have the been fine over time. I've had my 3 years and really got only 2 good years out of the. I have the Diablos.

I have the Diablos also. My experience pretty much matches yours, at least the part about not getting very dark. Still, they're the best I've ever had. Never had Wileys, don't seem to fit right.
