To those who wear the Optilabs, do you find that sweat ever gathers at the bottom of the rims? I sweat like a loon and have to wear M-Frame-style Uvexes.
I've got contacts at the moment, but don't like wearing them in work, but it's a bit of a menace wearing glasses in the rain. So, I thought about getting some of those Rudy Projects with inserts for the commute to solve the sweat problem.FCN 2-4.

My Oakleys are OK in fairly steady rain - although the water doesn't actually run off as I thought it might, this doesn't affect the day time vision (not sure yet if this would still be the case at night).Bike1

I use Kontrol sports frames and rx inserts. i have a prescription of +7 / +8 plus astigmatism so wrap around scripted frames won;t work for me due to the affect of the bend in the lense.
The kontrol ones ar £24 each or you can get 3 pairs for £48. I went for the 3 pair option so I have a clear pair for night riding, Black pair for glaring sunlight and a red/blueish pair for when I want to wear something different. The rx insert cost me £50 to get lenses fitted and swaps from pair to pair as I see fit. Plus kontrol also do a yellow pair that I like. So I'll get them for £24 and put the rx bit in. If I'd gone down the road of having sunglasses with a scripted lense I'd be looking at £200 + for every new set of glasses I want or every time my script changes.
If you can't wear contacts which IMHO would be the best option then I think thes can't be beat.
