Anyone try or use the HD photo-chromatic lenses? Theses are the goggles or riding glasses that changed from light to dark depending on lighting conditions. I am thinking about getting a pair. Seems alot easier then stopping to change glasses to clears when the sun goes down. Any input?

You have a part number? Are they available with/for prescription lenses?

I prefer the Panoptx Glasses, I have several pair but now mainly just use the day and night lenses
As they automatically adjust to varying light conditions, changing to almost a clear for night and a darker for day

Here is a couple of links for Panoptx, Most HD dealers have in stock

I bought the panoptx Raptor CV, i needed a prescription so I opted for the new Polarized transition lens. It is very good.  A small amount of distortion as the lens is so curved, but I like them alot for riding.

I tried some on at the dealer here last summer.  After wearing Oakleys for years now, I guess I am spoiled.  These glasses did not get dark enough for me and I was still squinting after being out in the sun with them for a good 15 minutes.  I think any type of self-lightening/darkening lens is going to be a compromise versus a purpose-made, full-time sunglass lens.

I've got a set of Oakleys w/ the transition lens ground to my prescription - no problem in bright sunlight & I don't have to switch to reading glasses anymore to read the menu @ the choke & puke!

I have the Panoptx too, very nice glasses.  They offer several styles and many options for lenses, I got the day/night ones and have been very happy with them.  You can order them with prescription lenses as well.

My wife and I won't wear anything but Panoptix. Hands down the best eye protection we've ever used. I call 'em full face helmet for the eyes. I use the convertibles so I can remove the orbital seal and use them as sunglasses and back to riding eyewear in a matter of 10 seconds. Highly recommended!!  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

BLM, so the Panoptx are the ones you turned HUBBARD onto and he has been raving about ever since???  If I could get some good prescription transition lenses, I'd prolly dump the contacts for riding.  I hate it when they get dried out at the end of a day.
