Which sunglasses?

wicked2627

Hi

I'm getting into my road cycling and have a relative small head. Want to get some decent sunglasses but lbs only have a small selection and will be buying from Internet.

I have 3 requirements:

1) anti fog
2) photochromatic lenses (so I don't have to change lenses)
3) good optics (at moment when I take cheap ones off, it takes a while for my eyes to readjust)

Would like your suggestions.

Oakley radars seem expensive, rudy rydons look ok but oos and not got enough knowledge of other brands. Looking at £130 max.

Will be predominantly for road cycling.

Cheers guys

Rudy Project fit the bill

I personally use Oakley's but next pair just might be a Rudy!

I love my Rudy Rydons and with the photochromic lenses you're good to go day or night, sunshine or rain! The arms and nose pads are fully adjustable, doubt there's a head they wouldn't fit!

Make that 4 requirements. Include UV/UVB, which is pretty standard but make sure.
Do glasses now come with "anti-fog"? Or is that something that YOU need to put on the lenses on a sort of daily basis? Will these glasses have to be prescription lenses? If so,
not all frames, especially ones that have really curved lenses, will work.

I am long sighted so can get away with non prescription glasses for most rides.

I bought some Rudy Rydons last year and they have been superb, then during the winter there was a special deal on Oakleys....WOW like a different world, the best money I have ever spent on glasses.

FWIW you don't have to buy so called "cycling specific" sunglasses. A few years back I needed new prescription sunglasses. Went to the Optometrist and he hooked me up with bifocals in a very stylish(according to my wife) Ray-Ban frame. Love them, don't have to switch glasses to read, work great on the bike, and have gone down many a mountain pass at fairly high speeds(well, at least for an old guy) without having my eyes water. Great skiing glasses. Couldn't ask for more. Get your wife / girlfriend to go with you and pick out a pair of slightly swept back, close fitting ones.
