Do they work with a full-face helmet???

Thanks for the question.

Does your helmet have uva or uvb protection on it? If so, it won't. There's other options like Drivewear, Polarized, and tints. Drivewear is a polarized transition that changes with ambient light. Meaning even if your helmet has uvb and uva it will still change depending on the glare from objects.

We carry every option available for any situation. If you have additional questions I invite you to visit our FAQ page on our site. We have a lot of education on the options available.

RIDE SAFE!

I have had transition lenses before, and I find they take too long to change.

I generally prefer sunglasses that have a graduated tint to them when I ride, so when I round a bend and the sun is dead ahead, I can just tilt my head down a bit so I am looking through the darkest part of the lens, and then when I turn onto a road that has a canopy of trees creating shade, I can tilt my head up to look through the lighter/clear part.

Thanks for the comment and I agree when transitions first came out they really sucked. But over the last 7yrs. they have pretty much perfected the science with the transition period from clear to dark...It now takes about 90 secs to go completely dark. As the same for turning back to clear..I figure it's about the time it takes to start your bike, warm it up and take off.

Have you tried polarized sunglasses? I wear polarized-I have a brown pair of polarized and grey. When I ride, I generally use my brown pair because it inhances the landscape and objects that would normally not stand out. Plus- it make me feel like my eyes aren't tired when I'm done riding. It eliminates all the glare preventing squinting. Which gives me headaches after a long ride.

Tinted lenses are ok in some conditions, but if you try polarized lenses and then go back to tinted...you'll wanna stay with the ploarized. Or at least I did.

I wear what was told to me as: Ultralight polarized poly grey lenses. I like 'em alot.
I also have glasses with photogrey transition lense. The more you were them the quicker the change. But, I'm thinking there is some sort of protective coating on them or the transition itself that fades, leaving an annoying "spot" to look through. Any ideas on that?

Peace

I finally tryed them this last year because my eyes are very light sensitive. But gave up and got a set of clip on sunglasses because it has to be in direct sunlight to work. So this year I'm getting a sunglasses along with my prescription set. Then riding glasses sets as well. I use sunglasses inside when most have all sorts of lights on I put the clipons on.

Yeah, 90 seconds is way too long when riding. You enter a shady area and you are blind as a bat with dark glasses, but after they adjust, you then ride back into the bright sunlight with clear lenses and end up squinting again.

Same thing with walking in and out of buildings. I had my regular prescription glasses as transitions and hated them because of the eyestrain of light vs dark. I find contacts and graduated tint lenses are a better solution for me.

And I use yellows at night because clear leaves too much contrast between light and dark, and bright white headlights also strain my old eyes.

I wear nothing but my transitions. The past few years the technology has come a long way and at night they are CLEAR and during the day, just the perfect tint so I can see in the bright sun. They still don't have it down to were they change fast enough when entering a tunnel or shady area, but for the most part they aren't so dark I can't see - at least mine aren't. Before I wore prescriptions I wore just plain old sunglasses during the day so I've gotten pretty much used to dealing with those situations anyway.
 

I haven't actually tried a pair of transitions but from what I've seen & heard about them, they just don't get dark enough to suit me. Here in Florida, the sun can be brutal. So I wear a pair of polarized Ray Bans .. AND .. my helmet had a flip down tinted half visor inside that I can pull down when the sun even overpowers the sunglasses.

I might invest in those type glasses...since last year, I bought my Rx glasses from Americas Best....2 pair for $400...yrs ago I remembered them as "Varilux Lenses'..now they'r called "Progressive'....anyway they're scratched, have spots on them and I need the damn things to read my instrument panel...
Thought I was getting a 'deal'....seems I 'got' what I paid for ~

I've had transition lens in my eye glasses for years. As a way to cut down on the number of glass I would have to buy I've had all my eye glasses as transition. There is some adjustment when coming in on a bright sun lite day. It has improved over the years and it rarely a issue for me. But they change quick enough. I've worn my riding and it eliminates me have sunglasses all over the garage and house (as I lose them on a regular basis). The plus side when riding is at dust I don't have to stop to switch glasses
