Hello :D

I have asked about clear glasses before but I am still on the hunt!

Does anyone know where I can get very small framed or childrens clear glasses from? I have a really narrow face and find the normal ones a nightmare - they really don't fit my face and end up falling off. I can easily wear my 4 year old neices sunglasses, but i'm not sure pink Dora the Explorer glasses will help my credibility too much.... :oops: :lol:

I'm not bothered about style or cost, as I will happily pay for decent quality that fits me! I have sunglasses that fit but they don't do clear lenses :(

I rode last night and the sunglasses were a nightmare. I couldn't see where I was going but every time I took them off I got hundreds of evil midges in my eye. Not fun :evil:

Any help would be gratefully receieved!!

PS - I have tried most 'smaller' glasses, ie Adidas etc and they don't fit.

    Yep, tried all of those and they're too big :?

    My head isn't a completey weird shape by the way - just very narrow at the temples :oops:

    If you're not worried about cost, might be worth asking at spec savers? They might be able to do you a deal with lenses and frames?

    Im toying with the idea of getting prescription mtb glasses.

    This thread really confused me - I thought I'd just closed the SELOC window.... :)

    Hello :D

    I don't suppose you happen to be a manufacturer of inexpensive but high quality small-framed clear glasses do you....? :wink:

    Nice to see another MTBing seloc'er - I know there are a few but mountain bikes and Elises don't usually mix do they!

    What about these? http://www.decathlon.co.uk/EN/slidy-800-10-13-26924303/
    Seem to be some kind of stock issue at the moment but you could contact them direct to see if they are going to get any more in...

    Believe me, having hunted for literally well over a year the possibility of finding some is quite exciting :D

    Sorry, no - but looks you're sorted now anyway.

    Fortunately I've also got a diesel shed for bike duties
