Default riding glasses...

Any of you that chose to buy Panoptix?&nbsp\\; I did and boy am I sorry for that.&nbsp\\; They are falling apart already for the second time, what do you suggest I do?&nbsp\\; The gasket is falling off of the glasses, and I have only owned them for about 1800 miles... sad just plain sad for the amount of money that I paid for them!!!&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Anyone?

&nbsp\\;Willey X are good and if you send your Panoptix it they will repair them for you.

Throw them away and buy the transitional glasses that Harley sells. I love them and have had them for over three yrs and 100000+ miles

I am happy with mine, too. The foam gasket lives in a pretty tough environment pressed against my sweaty oily face.

Sirrocco frame, now called Churada, is good for people with extreme prescriptions, like me. Though the glasses are not inexpensive, I still bought a second prescription pair with clear lens.

I think the Bobster by Spektrax looks like a cheaper way to go and I may try them next time my prescription changes.

I use CURVZ , I get them from the dealer for 23.00 they fit well , and I trash them about every 5-6 months ,and buy a new set.Still costs less than those expensive ones,and the styles change, and I am not stuck with what I bought last year or more ago.
