Default What glasses are you guys wearing?

I'm looking for some new glasses. Transistion lenses are a must. Looked at the wiley-x's but I don't feel like puttin out the $125. Chicago has some for under $60. Just trying to get some ideas.

I've been using a pair of Bobster Hooligans for the past 2 years or so. They have held up pretty dam good considering I wear them about 98% of the time I ride. My only complaint is that the lens don't go dark enough, but I think thats a problem with all of the photocromatic lenses. If I needed a new pair, I would definatly buy these again.

I've had 2 different pairs of Wiley-X with the transition lens, and loved both of them. I had the Airrage, and now have the XL1's. I'll be switching back to the Airrage, as they fit me better.

I've always had Oakley's, however I don't think they make a transition style lenses. In the Sunglass world it seems you get what you pay for.
The cheaper the glasses the worst the clarity on them when they get a little age.

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.

Oakley Minute 2.0 with transition lenses. Excellent. If you have a smaller face/head, these are great. If you have a larger face/head, there is a different model that is very similar, just not sure of the model name. Go on ebay and search "Oakley transitions".
