+1 on the Airrage. Yea, Wiley's are expensive. I don't know if you're just paying for the name or if they're really that much better, but my pair has served me well. I got my vision insurance to buy them for me, but they don't have a prescription lens in them.

I have a set of WileyX,they fit me like a glove,love'em but they aren't transition lenses. I also have a set of Panoptx with the transition lenses,caught them on sale 50% off at the local HD shop for $65,they work pretty well but if I know I'm only riding during the day I'll grab my WileyX ones just because they fit better(your face may be different). Best advice is to go somewhere and try them all on if you can that will probably help you decide the most.

Costa Del Mar bonefish. Green mirrored lenses. They are pricey but they are the best damn glasses I ever wore , whether it be riding , deep sea fishing or sitting around and having some coldies

I'll second the Maui Jims. I wear them for everything BUT riding. My eyes tear up past 45mph and with no foam, my Maui's are not the hot ticket. I'll use my $20 cheapos until I can pop for some better ones WITH foam.

I have to wear prescription glasses so I have transition glasses. I got them from my eye doctor and he has glasses for riders and then puts the scrip in. I love them, they get real dark in the sun and then lighten up inside. You could probably get transition lens without a scrip from an eye doctor. I have seen some of the other photochromatic lenses and they don't get as dark as transitions.
Sometimes they get so dark that I have trouble seeing into shade in bright light.
They get clear enough to read even in the darkest corners of my watering hole.

Wiley's and 7eye are about the best. I have used bobster transitionals in the past with decent results.

Oakley makes transition glasses. They come in Half Jacket and Straight Jacket last I checked. I don't wear transitions (last few pairs I had got stolen) and I just wear my regular Oakleys on my Harley and sometimes I wear goggles if I ride the Sporty since it doesn't have a windscreen.
