    What riding glasses is everyone using??

    I currently have a pair of panoptix with the photochromatic (transition) lenses. I got them as a gift last year, the foam padding is ripping already and I think they are a bit small for my face. I am looking for a new pair and am wondering what everyone else out there is using and how they like them.

    Thanks,

    Jon

     WileyX XL-1'sYes Prescription with removable eye gasket, light adjusting lenses and WileyX P-17 Polarized Hmmprescription frame. I have a large melon and the XL-1's fit about the best, covering my whole eye socket and part of the eyebrow too!!!The P-17's are a more rectangular style frame that might be better for a smaller head. Just my opinion though!

    Oakley Flack Jacket XLI with Black Polarized lenses for bright days... I'm ordering some extra lenses for dimmer days because these lenses are really dark.

    These still let some air in so If you are looking for a good air seal these might not be for you, I usually wear a full face helmet when planing to ride fast.

     I wear these:

    They work well for me. I have a thinner face, but they manage to stay on well while riding.

    Panoptix when I wear a turtle shell and Serengeti or ChromX when I have a helmet on.

    Good old Safety Glasses, blue tint, and yellow.  I can hop off and get-er done!  They work great.

    I use the Bobster Spektrax cheap alternative for those who wear glasses. The inserts you can get filled for $60 at Wal-Mart and then for right around $100 you have glasses, with all three lens colors.

    Rudy Project. they are prescription with photochromatic lenses. The lens are millitary grade shatter proof. they have the foam gasket and they come with a strap so they can be converted into gogles. expensive but I like them.
