Rather disappointing purchase. I'm an avid cyclist and had looked for quite a while for goggles I could get prescription lenses made for so I was excited when I found these. My optometrist had no problems creating lenses for them and they fit easily enough, but.... The standard lenses seem to distort everything. It's like being slightly zoomed in on everything you look at. It gave me quite a headache. I took the goggles in to the optometrist and they checked the standard ballistic lenses and they were indeed showing distortion on their measurement device. I tried the smoke lense and it faired somewhat better than the clear, but it was still evident that something was wrong. Not only that, but the little Wiley X sticker they put on the lense tore off some of the gray shading material they use to cover the lense. Lastly, the goggle frame itself is kinda warped, made evident by how it sits on one side of my nose compared to the other (I have other goggles that do not, so it can't be entirely my nose that's out of whack). I called Wiley X and described my problems and will be sending these in for service (I have to pay S&H, weak). Hopefully the next set will be better, because so far I'd only recommend these to my enemies.
