Hi
Do any of you lot have any recommendations on which sunglasses are the best?
I'm intrested in buying some new sunglasses under the £100 mark and dont really have a clue which ones to get! i do a fair bit of riding and a lot of people recommend the obvious companies like oakley and rudy project but which are the best?
I've seen some oakley half jackets with 3 sets of lenses for ninety but still really like the m-frame style and really like the colourful lenses especialy the blue ones.

Thanks
T

    Half Jackets vs M Frames:

    Do you want to wear the glasses for other things, if so avoid looking like an android and get the Half Jackets (XLJ lenses are better for cycling I reckon), if not then the M Frames. I have both and they are excellent.


    Generally the arrays (set of three lenses) come with a boring colour as the main shade IIRC. I am a big fan of the Ice Iridium lenses (blue) and if you like them, unless you plan to ride when it is dark/nearly dark, get the blue lenses for the time being as it is daylight from about 5am until 9pm and within 3 weeks that will be 4am 'til 10pm. In the autumn buy the other lenses you need.

    Yep: started with Half jackets plain lenses, lost them & got XLJ but also M frames: Half jackets good all round, M frames best kept for the bike

    +1 For Radars

    I have the Lance Armstrong ones and they are fit, fact!
    Great for cycling as well as for general use.
