How do you find the fit of the Drapht?
I really like these shades but am a lil concerned about not having enough seal around the eye as they don't come with the eye foam seal thingy's. I have panoptix diablo's right now (the only one's that had a good seal around my eye... ever since my accident my left eye gets really irritated from any wind and waters up).

If the Drapht model will keep the wind out then I think I'll grab a pair, I really like the look of them (hate the look of my diablo). If not maybe I'll grab the airborne, not quite as keen on the looks as teh Drapht but they look pretty nice from what I've seen (pictures online).

You have to try them on to check the fit for your face. It's the only way I've found to get a good pair. Most well known brands hold up just fine, 7's, WileyX, RayBans, etc.

I just ordered a new pair of Jakes for myself today. I had them deliver the frames for a fit up first, and I plan to have the optometrist tweak them by heating the bridge and closing the temples a bit.

I wish I had the option of trying them on first, but I don't know of anyone carrying them around here.

I have Wiley-X air rage with the removeable foam and light darkening lenses. For the 135.00 that I spent on them I really like them. IMO they are great at night and I do get some glare in bright sun.

Do you need a perscription? I went to my eye doctor. Luckily - my insurance covered all but $35.

I don't need prescription all I need is proper fit at this point it's just a pain when I can't find any local stores (Toronto) who carry them so I can try em on to be sure.
