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!

* Jock is glad he found this thread considering his interest in new glasses.

* Jock has also been cheap in this area considering how fast he damages them

JR,

I too have been using the Panoptix. [highlight] Mine are prescription and I have worn them from 6am to 1am without a problem. [/highlight]

I just had a new pair of glasses made with transition lens as one of my lens popped out while I was riding home from work.

JR,
Looked in the SportRX catalog and they offer lined, or unlined, bifocals as well as tints polycarbonate, polarized, etc. If it doesn't come up on the website, I can scan in the major stuff and send it to you. I believe you can go to their website and request a complete catalog with the order form, and pricing info.

Thanks Big Joe! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] This wont be necessary. I have several Panoptx dealers nearby and I plan on trying some on. Now I just have to decide which ones to get! [smiley=nervous.gif] Thanks Again Joe and God Bless!

I also use panoptx with day/night lens. I got the convertibles since eye pieces (foam insert) pop out. Came in real handy at sturgis last year when went to Colorado mountains, and foam got wet and started to fog up. Just pop em out and all clear!!!

Thanks RJob, I didn't take the time to type in the whole link.     [smiley=oops.gif]  

I'm going to the Sunglass Hut and try them on to see if I like them and if they fit, and I will probably order them from Sierra... much cheaper.   [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]   [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]  Terry (TcnBham) thinks they'll be great for me.  I wear contacts.

Thanks again!

Panoptyx does limit the parameters they'll put in their frames for your prescription.  I've got a patient out there wearing a pair of WileyX's (very similar to Panoptyx- should be able to do the same with the Pan's) with 5 diopters (units) of astigmatism (Pan & Wil only will do 2 units).  It's been almost a year, and we haven't had any problems so far.  If yo're thinking of buying any of these, have a chat with your local optometrist.  They may be able to cover a wider range of prescriptions, sometimes at less money and a faster turn around.

My wife and I each recently bought a pair of Panoptyx glasses.  Hers are the ones that change with the light.  I bought the darkest pair that don't change.  
  Sometimes she looks like a flying squirrel with those things on.  In my opinion they are just about like the latest prescription glasses that are light sensitive.  They are marginal.  
  My experience- get some for sunlight, others for night.  Also, I don't recommend driving most places at night.  Between animals and reduced vision, you're multiplying your chances of getting to try out your full coverage insurance.  Therefore, buy some cheap $10 clear glasses in case you need them, but get something that's dark enough for the day.  That's my 2 cents.   8-)  Steve

SteveG, are y'all happy with your Panoptx, or do you think "regular" sunglasses are adequate if wearing a shield?

I have been using Oakley sunglasses for years.  They are still my favorite for off motorcycle use or short trips.  On a recent long trip, however, my eyes were really drying out and I bought a pair of Panoptx.  I can't remember the model but they are dark ones with the removable eye cup.  I really like them.  My eyes are much more comfortable with these things.  I highly recommend them.  I believe they come in two or three different sizes to fit your face shape and you can get them with or without the removable eye cups.  Personally I'd recommend the latter because of the way they keep the air out.  (They are vented, but wind doesn't get blown in your eyes).   8-)  -Steve
