Called the 800 number on the screen and bought a pair, for no charge they throw in an extra pair free plus a protective pouch. They come in any magnification you want eg; +1.0, 1.25, 1.50 etc... They come in black or brown. Can't remember exact cost but I believe less than $20 bucks.
Damn.... I need to call in the next 10 minutes to get the protective pouch...

I had Wiley X glasses for a couple of years, with interchangable lens. Those lens are a royal pain to change out. I finally bit the bullet and got some of the HD light sensitive lens glasses. I'm pretty happy with them. Lots easier to just have one set of glasses/lenses.

I wear the "2 for $15" kind you get at any rally but I've really been considering dropping the coin to get some transitions because I don't have any bags and its a PIA to carry a clear set with me.

Check out (bikershades.com), they have some good transition riding glassed that are inexpensive. I have 2 pair, one for me and one for the old lady. They work well for the price.
Wiley X is the better higher end stuff. If money was no object thats what I would get.

I used to work in the optical industry and I can tell you transition lenses are ok if you have them exposed to the sunlight. If you wear a cap or hat or anything that blockes the suns uv rays from hitting the lenses, they won't change. Hope that help's
