which photochromatic sunglasses?

richardabulmer

Hi guys i am after a pair of sunglasses, preferably polarized that have the photo-chromatic lenses.

so far the only makers that fit the bill i can find are the ones made by Tifosi http://www.cyclestore.co.uk/productDetails.asp?productID=26167

Are the any other makers out there that i should look at. honestly the only others that i know of are the adaptalite range by specialized

I've been using Rudy Project ones for five years and love them

I use "Peltor Smart 100 photochromic safety glasses" which are cheap and effective, look good too.

i really like the look of them Ginjafro, and i could also wear them at work all day, but they dont appear to be available in the UK

Pro-lite do some as well - picked up some when Ribble did the big sale on them. I have specialized ones too. Likes the looks of them Peltor ones though...

I might sell my Pro Lites I bought from Ribble. If interested I'll give you a heads up. These in grey:

Yeah, sorry it does seem impossible to source them in the UK at the moment. Incidently, it also appears that they are now branded as 3M Smartlens but again if you really want a pair you will have to get them from the USA.

Those tifosi look good, i've had a load of tifosi glasses over the years (tend to sit on them) very unusual to find polarised photochromic lenses.

just found a range of Sunwise glasses that are photochromatic too

I just got the Endura Mullets and I like them - I can't really tell if they re working but I ve yet to take them on a ride and think..hmm, this is too dark/light yet so they must be! They re brilliant for the early morning/late evening club run where the light changes slowly through the ride.

The frame shape is a bit extreme (others available) but I have a massive ugly head so they don't look so bad on me. I ve found the steam up less than normal too which is a bonus
