Mine have the built in prescription so I paid big $$$, but that's always the case with quality prescription eyewear. They are great. The field of view, comfort, weight, all terrific. I STRONGLY recommend the "photochromatic red" color...this is NOT the "racing red", but rather a reddish amber that changes to a darker reddish grey in bright light. Strong contrast and detail, good color balance. It never let me down in any lighting situation, and unlike grey, won't hide subtle contrast on the trail in dim light.

I'm a roadie, but after your review, I convinced myself I needed them (ok, really, really wanted them). I absolutely love them. For the folks who freak out about the cost: Just don't get them. But, if you have the money, do a lot of riding and/or running in variable conditions, and don't want to keep spending money on new lenses and/or frames (like my old Smith Optics), these are for you. I'm about to take them up to Alaska to see how they are with the glare from the water and ice on the glaciers. I'm expecting them to be amazing. They have been so far. Great review, and thanks for the extra rationalization I needed. I’ve wavered on buying these for quite a while.

Goddam glasses are getting expensive! Still, I bet they're better for your eyes than $10 cheapies. “stunning wraparound masterpiece”…sounds like a good way to end a massage.

Oakley has some in the same price range but i'm not sure about theyre range, but they are photochromic and interchangeable. $249 is high but they seem to have a good range from light to dark.
