Default Which eyewear would you get?

I am looking for new riding glasse. I was going to get WileyX but now I see you need to get them through HD. HD has an exclusive on them which makes me wonder are they still worth the money? Is the quality the same? how about the price? I am looking for recommendations. Thanks

Oakley Split Jackets with the gasket & strap = Wind Jackets

Pricey but they come with 2 sets of lenses and a myriad of choices beyond that.

Great fit and protection. Can get them cheaper through the Oakley Forces program for Military, LEOs and Firefighters.

Don't know anything about a HD exclusive, but I too prefer WileyX for riding glasses.

I buy online from Frames Direct. Good prices and good service. Mine are prescription, but you can buy with or without.

Follow the tabs for Sunglasses or Prescription Sunglasses. Many other brands to chose from if you like.

I just bought a pair of Wiley X, got them at my eye doctor.
H-D doesn't have an exclusive on them.

I wear a pair of Chicago 24 transitions most of the time. I took acetone to the logo on the side of the arms so they are all black. The work very well in all lighting conditions and were cheap at about $25 on eBay. I also have some high dollar ones I wear sometimes.

Wiley X is the way to go. I think HD's prices are the same. I've been wearing the Gravity for a few years now. Love them.

If you are looking for motorcycle glasses on the WileyX website, they say only available through HD and it will re-direct you to HD site. If you are looking for other types you can shop on their site. At least that is what I found.

There is no HD exclusive. Recently bought mine at OpticsPlanet.com as they had the best price at the time.
