Does anyone use WX glasses with the Removable facial cavity. To me this sounds like a great idea to keep out wind on the long rides but I am afraid it will make the glasses fog. Any input is appreciated.

They are big time for the speical forces here. I am not a big fan of them. I usally stick with Oakleys. Either way, they are milltary issue.

WileyX and Panoptx (now 7Eye) are great glasses and both have the removable eye cups. They were initially designed as motorcycle glasses and that's my primary use. I don't normally use a windshield on the bike and these glasses have no problem staying on at high speed and they keep the air out too. They are vented in such a way to prevent fogging. I ride 12 months a year and have no fogging issues.

I currently use an old version of the PanOptx, but have used Wileys before too and would recommend either. The polarization is good, as you would expect from a high end glasses. I saw the commercial about the Wileys cup being designed to keep out the glare, etc. That's a decent use and a good marketing gimmick, but not what they were designed for.

They are expensive though.
