I can't stand windshields, so that's not an option.

I've actually tried loosening them lately, and that seems to have made a difference, especially with the fogging, and, even in the amount of air that's getting in... but my eyes still water after I've been riding for a while, and that's uncomfortable.

I'll get in touch with Panoptx, and see if they can give me a hand.

Cheers!

Hi Clammy - sorry to hear you're disappointed with the Panoptx - I just received my pair this past Saturday and, so far, they are just fine. I have the "cyclone" model since I need a pretty radical prescription, and that model is capable of accomodating almost any lens - I have transistion lenses along with progressive bi-focals. Although Panoptx doesn't do progressive lenses, my local optician does them and did a nice job. I do wear the strap to keep them at the same position on my face and, again, so far, I am very pleased. I have had them up to the 80 mph mark with no ill effects.

 

You know what? I went for a decent run (almost 2 hours) on the highway averaging around 70 mph and I got up as high as 80, and the glasses worked awesomely. The difference? The temperature. Today it was in the high 70s here. I think the problem is that they aren't so hot in cold weather. I'm still going to get in touch with them and see if they can give me any hints for cold weather riding. I may just need to get different glasses for the cold.

Glad you like yours!

Cheers!

Anybody know anything about:

The prices look almost too good....

 

Hey Clammy, I had the same problem last year while riding the Blue Ridge Pkwy. The glasses just fogged up. As I dropped in altitude they cleared up. They only fogged half way up. Happened once again last spring when it was really humid and wet, again only fogged half way up. Since then not a problem. I've rode in downpours and fog with no problem. The local H-D dealer is baffled as to why, they suggest I send them back to the company for a check, but can't seem to let them go.

btw...I have the 'cyclone' model with the varia lens

 

I had had a similar experience with fogging, but, only right after I put them on and in very humid conditions. Once I get rolling, the fog will disappear. This is not necessarily the "fault" of the goggles, but, a phenomena caused by Mother Nature. Humid air will certainly condense on a cool surface - takes a moving stream of air to help. Personally, I find the Panoptix perfect for high speed driving on the interstate at speeds my glasses alone would not tolerate. I highly recommend buying the frames and letting your optician fit you with whatever prescription you need. Mine are transistion lenses with progressive bifocals and I love 'em. I did have to settle for an adaptor in front of the frame due to my prescription and the type of frame was also limited due to my eyes. But, overall, a good, no, great idea!

 

I've given up on the Panoptx glasses... now the foam is deteriorating fast and letting a lot of air in, which makes it uncomfortable to ride. Also, the rubber ends that hold the lanyard to the arms slips off every now and then, and without the lanyard tightened, the glasses are virtually useless to me. I found a product called "Fog-Tech" that actaully eliminates the fogging problem (so far), so that is no longer an issue. I'm going to go with Wiley-X SG-1 Light Adjusting glasses.

Cheers!

Well Clammy, wish me luck... After several weeks it was determined that Wiley couldn't make sunglasses in my prescription, so I have had to go back to Panoptx... They should be here in a week... along with a couple samples of fog-tech. The guy told me that if the foam started to break down they would replace them... we'll see.

 

Good luck man. I really hope they work out better for you than they did for me. Which model are you getting?

Cheers!
