Looking at maybe getting a pair of eye shields to keep mud and rain out of the old mince pies and all I could find on CRC are a pair by M Vision but I noticed these in the screwfix catalogue and was thinking would they do. They say clear lens but they don't look it from the pictures.

After a pair with clear lens, so they can be used in low light and night time without making things look darker than they already are.

Other suggestions on eyes welcome as long as they don't cost too much.

have you thought about ski goggles

Have a look a the bobster range of eyewear http://www.ee33.co.uk/o49wkp2359224/Eye ... 1-117-119/ probably be more comfortabl, less likely to fog. and more secure Also some will cost less as there is a fiver postal charge from screwfix.
I currently use spy optic mx goggles and they are fantastic (on crc from £20 ish) but would be cumbersome with an open face helmet.

I find the yellow high contrast excellent this time of year for increasing visibility in the woods. The lenses are made from the same material as a motorbike visor and comply with EN166

I have some Specialized Adaptalite glasses which are ace for daytime riding. For nighttime stuff I've recently bought some of these and they're excellent - super cheap, super light, very well made, protect your eyes well, and don't seem to steam up.

I bought them from RS as I can get a discount and free delivery through work - though if you can't order from them you'll find other places online that sell the same glasses.

+1 for the Bolle glasses range

I have used my Bolle ESP Contours in various day light conditions and have had no issues atall. Can be had for 6 quid posted on the bay.

i dont know why the bolle ones arent more expensive, some of the range even look pretty good. i would have thought theyd be spot on.

Not after goggles, some of those in the link captainfly post are nice but bit too much. The second link I post are Bolle and only £8, I'll check out some more from them. Thanks for the feed back.

I use Bolle safety glasses with no problems, for winter I use a clear pair (BL10) the shape of the lense is designed to stop material being thrown into your eye from the side and underneath. Perfect for the mud.

+1 bolle

Another vote for the Bolle here.

We use bolle ones for work and i have used mine for biking they are pretty comfortable and look good to.
just saving my hard earned cash for some adapterlites but for the money bolles are great ideal for night riding to

Thanks for that, I like those Bobster Crossfire lenses.

Edit: Sorted the payment out, ordered the amber and smoked lenses, they look ideal for winter winds in particular, thanks for providing the link. :!:

Another vote for the Bolle Contours, I have 2 pairs with clear and smoked lenses and got them both from Ebay including postage for £14.

The Bolle BL10s are my favourites, they look good and they work perfectly. People say "Oh, you have to buy proper riding glasses for UV resistance and to avoid distortion- these have no distortion and they're UV protective, so....

Don't think so much of my Bolle Contour ESPs though, they make me look like Bono

I've got Bolle Contours and they distort my vision.

Trail looks magnified.

I have no problems with my mates riding glasses or my Crowbars, so it's definitely the Bolles.

BazQuirk

I've got a pair of the JSPs and they're superb. No obvious distortion and seem to be virtually indestructable. Great alternative to trendy specs for budget concious riders.

tjwood

There's no noticable distortion with my Bolle Contours.

loltoride

Bolle contours which color to go for clear, smoked?

Thanks
