Yeah, save your money. I have tried several pairs over the years and yet to have them work as advertised. Just get two pair.

 

I use Wiley-X with both clear and smoke lenses. The Wiley-X will cost you about $75 on eBay. A pair of replacement lenses cost about $15 on eBay. I buy a new pair of both clear and smoke lenses every year at a cost of $30.

I have the 7eye (think they used to be panoptix) air dam transitionals. They work as advertised..could be just a tad darker, and the air dam is only slightly better than glasses that have no foam. I don't feel their quality (or wiley X for that matter either) justify their cost, but considering I don't have bags, 1 pair of glasses is a good thing.

 

I have a pair of the driving transitions, they tint behind a windshield or face shield, polarized, they don't get real dark, and they don't go clear, but they are comfy and have been god at glare relief, downside, expensive.

 

I use a new pair of seven eye and have been really happy.
They dont get dark enough but have been suprised how well they work here in the southwest sun.

 

+1 I also have a pair of Panoptix and they've been great for me. I got the Cyclone FX variety. Especially nice since I don't use a windshield 95% of the time and they have the foam ring around the frame to keep out wind. They ran me $125.

Exactly. However, they still sell the Cyclone FX branded as Panoptix since they are their best seller.

To the OP: I'd reconsider. Transitional lenses are the only way to go IMHO especially since you won't have to be carrying two pairs of glasses or a second pair of lenses... and won't have to worry about breaking the lenses when you're changing them out. YMMV

 

yeah. i'm on the fence. Thanks to all for some damn good input.

 

 

I have a pair of Wiley-X with the transitional lenses and I did not have them long before I bought a second pair with blue mirrors. I now use the transitional lenses on real cloudy days and at night. I have blue eyes (light complexion, blonde hair) and my eyes are very sensitive to the sun. There is no way I could stand riding for any length of time in the Georgia sun with those things - they just go not get dark enough.

 

I have a pair of transitional HD's. I like them, but they don't always transition when they should. Going from indoors to out, takes forever for them to darken in the sun. I can't figure out why. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. So, I have been thinking about getting goggles with changeable lenses.
