Which sunglasses?

SkyBlueKangaroo

As the snow falls around Tring, and I drove through a hailstorm to get home this afternoon, I hope it must be summer soon? So I'm looking to get me some cycling sunglasses for road riding.

I tend to get a bit hot and sweaty so I'm looking for something that is well ventilated and doesn't fog up too easily, well fitting without being tight, and obviously must look uber-cool.

What do you guys n gals enjoy wearing to keep the wind and glare out of your eyes?

I wear Oakley Monster Dog's



They fit my face really well, quite large lenses, so draught doesn't come up from cheek. The shape si a very good fit for my head, very comfy to wear. Maybe not the coolest or newest design (but I like them), but a great thing about these frames is the hinges are integral to the frame, not a seperate metal part. This means that whenever I sit on them (accidently of course :oops: ) the arms just pop out rather than bending or breaking the hinges (like my Smiths did). They are a very simple design with just 3 parts plus lenses, no rubber bits to wear out / fall out / lose. They will fog up under extreme provocation, but generally they are fine. If they do I just ease them away from my face by a few mm until it clears.

The lenses are very tough and optically perfect, and there is a wide choice of lens tints.

Cyclestore are just about the cheapest for Oakleys (including non-cycling shops). Prices start from about £60 for black iridium lenses, I have black polarising ones, paid about £95.

For night riding I use the DHB triple lens glasses with the clear lenses fitted, that I got free from Wiggle for referring a new customer (well, they got them, but I negotiated to have them!). These work fine too, and if you are after a cheap pair of glasses to cope with all conditions you can't go wrong with these, they are strong and have withstood abuse well - currently £18 (or free if you get someone like me to refer you to Wiggle and you are not already a customer).

I'll second the DHB triples.

They steam up a bit when you stop but it quickly clears when you get moving again.

Refer a friend (or your Mum, Sister, girlfriend etc), spend £50 on their behalf and everyone is a winner, well except them, and Wiggle really, ok, your a winner.
