Bi focal glasses any suggestions on what to get?
#31
Just got my first pair of bifocals on my riding sunglasses, now I want a set of clear riding glasses too. Love the heck out of 'em! Can see the radio, I-Pod, Fish Finder (as one old schooler calls my gps) and other gauges. Used to have to lift my glasses up to read anything, that was a hassel besides a bit dangerous. Have the progressive lens

If you want the cheap way out Zennioptical.com send your prescription and get them mailed right to your house. You can get glasses for 8 bucks. I have transition progressive lenses with flex titanium frames and they only cost 90 bucks. I was very skeptical when I ordered them but I figured it was only 90 bucks. I will never buy glasses for 400 bucks again. They are made in Hong Kong but as long as you have a current prescription and your PD (pupilary Distance) you cant go wrong. The last place you bought glasses can supply your PD (they are required by law). Zenni has 100 of frame choices including some sport wrap around frames.
The only other glasses I currently own are Panoptic (now known as 7 Eye) Zips from Sportrx.com. They carry several styles (Bolle, Wiley, RayBan, etc.) for motorcycling and run from 150-400 bucks depending on what options you get.
I can't say how impressed I was with the price/quality from Zennioptical.

I use Rayban wrap sunglasses. I use the stick on lenses (cut down) on the sunglasses because they said they couldn't do a bi focal on the wrap. For night riding I use the same style frames with a clear bi-focal. I had transitions in the frames that are clear now, but they didn't do a good job on during the day, because they didn't get dark enough and have too much tint at night.
My suggestion is two pair, one will not do both jobs good enough.

I've never thought Transitions® came even close to getting dark enough to do the job. For high-exposure outdoor use (as in riding a bike), nothing beats polarized lenses for glare and UV reduction.
