Exactly, Stephen! I’ve had glasses get scratched just by a little road dust. Durability is key when riding.
I wonder if anyone here has experience with specific brands. Are there any that you would recommend based on your experience? I’m in the market!

I’ve tried several brands, and I can confirm that Brand X has amazing transition lenses! They balance safety and quality really well. Has anyone else used them?
I’ve heard good things too, but personally, I’m a fan of Brand Y. They have a great anti-fog feature that saved my ride last week!
It sounds like we have some good options, but what do you think about the price? Sometimes, the more expensive glasses are worth it, but not always!

I’m all for spending a little more for better safety features, but I do love a good deal! It can be a tricky balance to strike.
I’m in the market for transition glasses too! I’ve heard good things about Oakley and their photochromic lenses. Has anyone tried them?
I have a pair of Oakley gascan frames with transition lenses. They work great for me! The tint changes quickly, and they look stylish too!
I’ve been using the Wiley X glasses. They’ve held up well in variable weather, but I find the transition isn’t as quick as I’d like sometimes.
That’s a bummer. I’ve noticed that too with some brands. Is anyone else having issues with slow transitions?
I’ve had a great experience with the 100% glasses. Fantastic clarity, and they adapt quickly to sunlight! Definitely recommend them if you’re riding frequently.
Sounds promising! Do they fit well under a helmet? That’s a concern for me.
Yes, they fit perfectly! I’ve worn them with my full-face helmet, and no issues at all. And they don’t fog up easily either!

That’s interesting! I’m curious, has anyone had issues with scratches on their transition lenses? I’ve heard mixed reviews.
I did with mine! They seemed to scratch easily despite proper care. I switched to polarized options after that.
Overall, it seems like finding the right pair is a bit of a journey. What are your thoughts on cost vs quality for these glasses?
I believe you get what you pay for in this case. Cheap models often have issues that can affect your ride. It’s worth investing in quality!
Absolutely! You want eye protection that works. Plus, it’s nice to have decent aesthetics on the road!
