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?

Yep, I bought them a few weeks ago. My opinion: [smiley=smilie_daumenneg.gif] [smiley=smilie_daumenneg.gif] [smiley=smilie_daumenneg.gif] [smiley=smilie_daumenneg.gif] [smiley=smilie_daumenneg.gif]
 They don't get near dark enough. I have gone back to a pair of Maui Jims that are much better.

Instead of spending the bucks for a prescription lense, you may want to try one of the Panoptx styles that use the removeable eyecup.

I have a pair of panoptix, bought 'em for the deuce where storage is a premium.

damn, I wish you had not shown me those. They will match my SED very nicely.

I never would spend that much on sunglasses so Anne bought them as a gift.

They match great with the 24K Gold...

Thanks BLM! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

These are what I I've been looking for, just need to decide which frames and which lenses. I like the marine in case we get caught in rain, but I wonder how light they get and if it will be enough a night time. Thanks again bro!

That's the ticket!!! You have to coordinate your outfit/accessories w/your bike. [smiley=drink.gif]

I attached a pic of two different pairs of my Panoptx glasses
I am sure all of you can tell which pair are the ones that change during the different times of the day
Gosh I didn't realize both pairs were as dirty as they appear.

Hands down I love my Panoptx

[WFP]

Don't laugh, but I have the same model also in Grey ... they match the Ultra's Slate color!

JR.....I've got several pairs of Panoptx in many different frames.

[jeffj]

How do they determine face size? [smiley=nervous.gif] Just guessing I would think I'm a medium to small face, if small/med = thin/narrow and large = Hoghead/Fat. . Hey Twolane, what size face you got???

Excellent information BLM, I appreciate ya bro!

If I were you I would stop by a Harley Dealer and try on several pairs and if the HD dealers isn't willing to match the price on the internet say thanks to Harley salesperson and go home and order the ones you liked best.

Me I got a mellon for a face, so I need the large frame with ear pieces that expand

Thanks Jeff!

I haven't noticed these at my dealer before. I will check it out. Even if they were able to match price I will probaly end up buying on the internet anyway to save on the almost 10% sales tax. Thanks again for the idea! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

You can check out Panoptix, WileyX, Bolle, Vuarnet, prices and styles at SportRx, they're in San Diego area and do most of the prescription work for Panoptix and Wiley and I've always had good luck with them. For Rx, you just need a current prescription (w/P.D), pupil distance determines what frames work for your size.   http://www.sportrx.com Even some colors for those that are really over the top OCD  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] I got the "transitions" last year, and haven't had a real problem with them not darkening enough while riding, but it depends upon your sensitivity. I know they don't work well in the ole SUV, the tinted windows throw them off.
