Don't think I have any photos of me in my sunglasses; maybe Wool or Zane do. Randolph Engineering for me - RayBan temples are just too flimsy. I accidentally stomped on a pair of the REs and just bent them back into shape with no problems.

I suspect I might have one.

Do you keep it on your hope chest?

Now it IS time to ban you. It wasn't Dan who wanted the Laphroiag, it was me. Kids today! Can't get the simplest things right!

I used to have the transitions but the fact that they don't change in the car really annoyed me. When I lost my glasses this summer and replaced them I chose not to get the transitions.

Really? They don't change in the car? I had always though it's a pain to switch them and was looking to switch to the transitions, but the car is where I need them most.

maybe the windscreen has some kind of UV filter in it or something to stop the glasses transition?

It can't be simply "light" activated, otherwise your glasses would transition under a lightbulb at night...

A quick look at Wiki seems to indicate that it is indeed UV that triggers the transformation. So with the new autoglass being heavily UV resistant, it makes sense that the glasses would not trigger.

Not sure it's just a UV screening effect . . . there's also that usually your lenses aren't in direct sunlight when you're driving, and that makes it hard for them to react.

I'll have a splash of single malt.....

Not here. It's still summer. 80 degrees, sunny, blue sky.. My life with 18% gray starting Oct-1 through April-30th is over.

It is the UV screening that prevents the glasses from changing in the car. I was told this only after I got mine!!

My BIL is a big fan of GL18. I had a glass and it reminded me of turpentine. THe GL21 was not a whole lot better. I never had the 25 so maybe that is better but I doubt it.

Well they don't show that in the commercial.

Just drive with the window down, and if you need to, stick your head out of the window every few minutes, to top up the transition...

Corrected.
