Hi all,

I'm looking for some new glasses to use when cycling. I've been thinking about getting some photochromatic lenses so I can use one pair of glasses to fight the low morning sun and use them in the dark on the way home.

I was thinking of buying some Endura Piranha glasses (http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/accessories/eyewear/sunglasses/product/piranha-glasses-09-35328) but wondered if anyone knows if they actually get clear enough to use in the dark?

Also, the review says that they can be a bit tight on a big head, which is cool for me as I have a narrow head, but again, anyone got any experience?

Cheers!

    A few observations...
    ...they seem a pretty good price for photochromatic specs.
    ...not bad style.
    ...IME photochromatics have a slight straw colour tinge when "clear", but this should not be a problem in the dark.
    ...I'd like to know what you think of them if you get them. :D

    [slap wrist]...and this should really have been posted in the "Buying Advice" section. :wink: [/slap wrist]

    Cheers for reply, realised after I'd clicked submit I was in cake stop. Sigh.
