Pat Donnelly Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 http://www.panoptx.com/ Joel P. showed me these a few years ago, great for snow, cycle and bike sports as they have a foam piece around the frame to block wind. I have not been able to find locally. They have a close out section from their on line store and one model (Gust Lite) to fit large heads! Closeout priced @ $39.99 Had problems ordering on line, so I phoned in the order 925-484-0292 - No problem. Via phone, they offered standard 3 day shipping @ $10; only overnight and 2 day express were offered on line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Randy S. Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I've looked at them before. My concern is that when you do get snow in there, its going to be a pain to clean out. Plus the foam part will take abuse from regular cleaning. If you have problems with wind in your eyes, then they're probably a good solution. They'll certainly keep the sunlight out well. I prefer Native or Smith sliders so I can change lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tim Tuthill Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Hey Pat and Randy: I think Harley shops uaed to cary the full line. Don't know about now. The foam is a concern of mine also. What happens if it tears?? Do they replace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Donnelly Posted December 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I also have a pair of Smith Sliders but they are a bit snug and I could use the wind blockage to reducing the tearing effect but I do like the ability to change out the lenses. Will have to see how the foam stands up although I have a few pair of old goggles with foam intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I have a pair of old Oakley Eye Jackets that work great, wrap around and stay close. I wear contacts so I need to keep the wind out of my eyes. I love the Oakleys, only wear goggles on cold or snowy days. My wife calls them my Spiderman glasses.

terekhov Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 my vote is for oakley racing jackets work tearless until low mach1 speeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derf Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Cycling and other sport: Oakley M-Frame Walking, driving, other everyday things: Oakley Half-Jacket Snowboard: always goggles (Smith), never regular shades, unless it's 10 degrees C or above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnovak Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Rudy Project -- lots of selection and particularly for those who need prescription lenses -- unlike Oakleys which are very limited if you need Rx lenses. Rudy Projects are really popular with cyclists too and I use them for that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
