Almost the most important gear I ride with is my RayBan's.

Can't leave home without them. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Mrs.We, Do you and Mr.WeCVO have the prescription lens in your PANOPIX glasses? Which models did you all go with?

[spydglide]

Thanks so much for going to all the trouble to look up the model of the glasses, Mrs.We.CVO.  I've considered ordering those exact glasses before, but have just been unsure.  Really need to try them on, I think.  The Chubasco model.  My only concern with the changing lens is whether they will be dark enough to cut the glare in the day and lighten up enough to see well at night.  I have all these vision problems going on so I need all the 'help' I can get.  I'll have to check out your glasses 'in person' at the Valley Gathering.  That'll be the ticket!  Thanks again, spyder [smiley=glasses2.gif]

Over the years I have collected a few excellent pieces of foul weater gear. Checked and I have found the following  "Reima" Cycloak GT Jacket,  Aeostitch Roadcrafter Jacket and Pants, Hein Gericke First Gear Kilimanjaroo Coat, HD FXRG Leather Pants.

All of the above have been great iwhen caught in rain and snow.

Looks like I will be selling the Aerostitch Roadcrafter Jacket, Mens size 44. To small now.

Anyway, I guess I'll move over to the "Selling" portion of the board.

Sunglasses...check out www.Wiley-X.com   I've been wearing them for 5 years. Great glasses made for Law Enforcement and Military.  Check out the SG-1 Goggle, my favorite, other CQC goggle looks interesting, haven't tried.  

You see these glasses on our guys in Iraq all the time.  Very comfortable, exceeds all shatterproof regulations. Great colors in Blue  and Crimson ( have to get for new Red SSEG!).  Check out the explanation of  more.. on how and why they were developed, pretty neat story.  

Come in prescription, add ultra and UV.  exchangeable clear lens.  I just buy extra frame and keep both sets available for quick change.

All my friends who had the old Panoptics switched.  Old Pans kept getting water between compounded lenses.  New Pans sound okay from previous posts.

I get asked a lot what kind of glasses am I wearing.  You won't be disappointed.

Any one else have these??

Sounds like the same boots I have........laced up the front, zippers on the sides.  I recently had them re-soled with the heavy duty Vibram lugged soles and heels.  Good for a couple more years, I think.

JCZ,

Just want to say thanks for the prompt.  I took my boots into the local cobbler and in one week (and $60) later, I have the equivalent of a new pair of boots.  I went with a simple Vibram Sole, for me, the lugged sole added too much height...makes it harder to get under the shifter when I am too lazy to lift my foot for the heel shift!  Also, a little less likely to collect dirt.

Thanks for the idea/prompt!

My husband and I  were riding on Saturday on the way home from a 300 mile ride, a stone flew up from a vehicle in front of us and hit me right in my left lens. Thank God I had the goggles on, but it caused the lens to fly out and I could not locate it.  I have sent a message to Panoptx to see if there any way to get only the lens?  My lining is getting very worn out too so I also asked if that be replaced as well?  I am lost without them.  My regular glasses are the transition kind, so I can use them for riding, but they do not offer the protection from the wind, sand and stuff.  We rode about 325 miles yesterday, and I sure missed my goggles.  I will let you know what the company says about replacement.  There website says that for 57.50 you can get the lens, but the lining is not addressed.  It might get cheaper to buy a new pair.  New they should cost about $145.

Candy, buy a lens, buy a new pair; whatever.....   Just glad the eye is ok.

It was the freakiest thing.  I saw the stone coming - Looked like the size of the earth, but realistically probably the size of a cherry tomatoe.  I was wearing a helmet with a visor, my windshield is really too tall, I ducked my head downwards believing the windshield or the top of my helmet would take the hit.  Weird, the stone came down between the top of my windshield, past the tip of my visor and hit me right in the left lens of my goggles. I thought I had been shot. My eye instantly began to tear and I thought I was bleeding, but when I put my hand up to my eye, my eye was perfectly fine, just no lens there.  Yes you are right, I am glad the eye is fine.
