Default The perfect riding glasses

I am looking for the perfect riding glasses if they even exist. A pair that is transitional that actually get dark in the sun, anti-fog, and also comes with the a strap if needed. Any advice???

Oakley split jackets with the wind sock, no transition but comes with dark and clear lenses and the windsock cuts the wind in your eyes if you have a problem with that.

yeah, Windjackets.
And they do (did) make transitional lenses for them.
I just roll with the G40/Smoke lenses and change them out as needed, so easy...

I recently picked up a pair of Liquid Titan sunglasses and I am quite impressed. They are a solid piece of aircraft aluminum and appear to be pretty unbreakable. They are also cheaper than the oakleys

I had the windjackets. They were nice and worked very well but i wanted to get a one and done transition so i didn't have to worry about changing out lens. I bought a pair of the hd transitions. They do not get as dark but they are comfortable and work great. A trade off that i got used to. I would also add that since i have had them my eyes make the adjustment to light faster and without squinting when i put them on and take them off. They are also exceptional when light transitions in bad weather i.e. sunshine to clouds and rain.

Check out the Bobster sunglasses line, great for bikes. Bought mine a few years back, the best I've owned. Has day to dusk trans. lens and a changeable clear lens if its too dark. Foam around inner eye-piece works great as well. think about $40-$50 on e-bay I payed
