Sunglasses slipping down nose

Runner2Cycling

I have a pair of dhb Pro Triple sunglasses, which have excellent lenses, however, a source of constant irritation is that they slip down my nose - especialy when I'm on the drops. Given this you'd think perhaps that they are too large for my head, however, I am not small (over 6ft) - even when I wrap thread round the joints to pull the arms in they still slip down.
Can anyone recommend other glasses that I could consider buying ?

I've got a pair if rudy project rydon and they are great as the nose piece and arms bend so you can shape them to your face

If they are slipping down it might be worth changing the nose pads for grippier ones, assuming the nose pads are pushed in close enough to your nose in the first place.

Or are they coming off the front of your face rather than down?

Same glasses. Same problem. If you find a fix let me know!

I haven't got those but I thought the back part of the arms was flexible on them, to ensure grip?

As suggested Rudy Project Rydons have flexi arms and nose pieces and Oakley Radar I know have non slip nose/arm pieces.

Alternatively, smack yourself in the nose before you go out or cellotape some sand paper to them.

Another RP Rydon user here. Very good glasses and no slippage.

find a big door man and tell him you just slept with his missus.the resulting punch should swell your nose to the point the glasses fit better.

Small strip of elastoplast on your hooter. It needs to be the old fashioned fabric type. Sounds daft but it works for me.

I have some Endura Triple lens glasses and have the same problem. I used to use a clear pair of saftey glasses from work in the winter and never had the problem!. Tried loosening the screws and turning in the arms but didnt seem to work, not sure if you can get different nose pads for them?

These are awesome. I was so tempted to go with the dhb glasses but in the end the option of 5 lenses instead of only 3 swung me, and I was concerned about the slipping issue you mention as I read a lot about it. The Kuota's don't suffer that issue and are well vented as well, double profit.

Had the same problem with Rudy Project Sportmask. Sold them and went for Oakley Jawbone...they're sooo grippy on the nose and ears. Can't rate them highly enough.

Problem sorted !
Found a neck-cord from an old pair of sports glasses that have rubberised loops on the ends - I can slip these over the arms of my glasses - and then I attached one of those stuff-sack plastic thingies (i.e. where you press the top and the pull the cord through to tighten).
I can then adjust the cord once the glasses are on.
Perfect - no more glasses slipping down my nose - and I've avoided having to shell out a packed on a new pair.

I'd been having the same problem with these. I just did a 50 miler with "your fix" and it worked perfectly... no slippage and perfectly comfortable. Nice one Cheers

Take or send the dhb back say they are not fit for pupose and buy a pair of these.... http://www.wiggle.co.uk/bloc-predator-s ... n=products

Oakleys etc are just a waist of money especially if you drop them or sit on them etc.

Be careful when springing them open to change lenses especially in cold weather as the plastic gets brittle and may fail as I have experienced.
