I personally don't like the foam on the Panoptx. I have tried different models, but just can't get them to fit correctly. I just bought a pair of Wiley-X XL2 glasses for the Daytona trip. Got a great price for them on e-bay. They seem to fit well, we will see...

Just a reminder about Panoptx, they will replace them if they break. I have only seen two pair that actually broke; I've seen lenses get screwed up when they were cleaned improperly (on the inside where the anti-fog coating is). My main complaint is the foam "gasket" that seals out the air. It gets old and distorted after a while. They must be sent to Panoptx for lens or foam replacement.
The Wiley-X SG-1 that Fred mentioned is flexible and I would be very surprised to see one of those break. The seal will not absorb moisture and peripheral vision is very good. The price is reasonable at MSRP (not to mention my forum discount of 20% on Wiley-X) and parts (lenses are very cheap, when they need replacing) are easily obtainable.

I sell both brands and have worn both -- right now I'm like my SG-1's. :cool:

I've got a pair of Panoptics that I can't inagine riding without! They're convertibles with the day/night lenses. Absolutely brilliant lenses! After many miles use (and careful by-the-book cleaning,) I am finding that the anti-fog coating seems to be coming off. Good to know that Panoptics will replace!

Sorry Gene, I got them before I knew about you and your great forum member pricing & service!
