What do you all wear?

I've just gone and lost my Bloc Shifter XR Multilens of the last 4 years and need something to replace them.

I was a big fan of the interchangeable lenses so I'd like to keep that functionality at a minimum, though I've been looking at photochromic lenses as well - any opinions on these?

Currently I'm quite keen on the Oakley Jawbones & Radars. Has anyone got any experience of the wind-blocking abilities of these? The Bloc's were pretty so-so and my eyes have a major aptitude to watering. Moreso as these will most likely double up as skiing glasses.

I bought some of those DHB ones for around 30:00 as i lose/snap atleast 3-4 pairs a year,an i gotta say they are fantastic value for money,3 different lenses for different conditions.....

Take a peek on Wiggle mate........... :P

Radar Pitch on the road, cheap shit (Madison something or other and the DHB ones that UOC recommended) off road.

Radars are top quality, no wind, no misting, great to look through, comfortable etc.

Cheap ones generally fog if it gets slow, cold and sweaty and you really can tell the optical difference but I don't care if they get lost, broken etc.

Jawbones for me, also have RP Rydons (sp!), like them, too.

Which lenses do you have for the Jawbones?

Jawbones for me aswell, best glasses I have owned.

Good idea to try some on before spending your cash.

Rudy Project Noyz, matt black frames with the photochromatic lenses, as seen here;

Great fit, with adjustable arms (which can be bent to match the shape of your bonce). Lenses can be removed and washed and then snapped back into place. Many other lenses available for all light conditions and frames in a range of colours.

I did originally buy the blue and white frames, but had to return these as the white coating started to peel off. I replaced them with the ones above.

I like their understated style and the lenses are superb......they are on the pricey side though.

How fast do the photochromic lenses adapt?

Specialized Uracco Adaptalite.
These are photochromic, and adapt very quickly....in a very few seconds! The lens clarity is also very good. Similar to my Oakley M Frames that I sold off after testing the Uracco.

Without getting techy... Yellow lense and black mirror, both vented.

The company's run by a decent guy, and the glasses are really good quality.

Sunwise Twister for me, 3 sets of lenses, comfortable rubber nose bridge thingy and behind ear watsits (can you tell i'm not an optometrist?!)

Best of all £15 a pop means you don't cry when standing on pair no.1 and morphing pair no.2 by leaving them too close to the gas hob :roll:

Where from? I can only see them for £29.99 and they would be great for my son who needs a pair.
