Glaases, the ones that change in the light/dark

MrBibble

Showing my age now, i want to get some light reactive (reactolight??) type glasses as generally i dont get on with yellow lenses. I can wear my current dark ones in the mornings but the ride home now its starting to get a problem.

So can anyone recommend a light reactive glasses for me.

Tifosi are the ones i keep stumbling on but what are others using ?

thanks B

I was also in search last week for glasses that met those sepcifiactions your after.

I ended up getting these and am really happy. They work of UV so whether its a dull winters day the lens will be clear or if its bright and sunny out the lens will darken.

I love my Oakley Jawbones with Grey Transistions lenses. 93 to 16% light transmission. So good I blogged about them!

Specialized do some in adaptalite versions too. As do Endura (photochromic) like the Marlins.

I have some of these and think they're good value. I got mine for £50 so maybe you can find better.

Cool, didn't know glasses like this were available. On the list for sure.

I've been using Rudy Project Rydons with the photo-chromatic lenses for a few years now and really like them. Very worthwhile.

Tifosi make some good ones. Reasonably priced too. The model name if I remember correctly is 'Pave'.

I've also got Oakley Jawbones with transition lenses - they're fantastic in low light/dark so rides early morning are not a problem!
Would recommend them highly

These glasses are no longer made and the photochromic ones have sold out

However there is a chap selling a batch on ebay for £75.

I made an offer of £60 and won a pair- brand new photochromic with hard case

Link shows them in stock, is that out of date?

It says non-adaptalite on the link anyway. Spesh don't do glasses anymore but it just so happens I bought some Miura adaptalites today {to replace my ageing Helix glasses} for £55 and not from e-bay, a bargain I think.

I broker my Spesh adaptalites a couple of months ago. best thing I ever did. Got a ful refund on them and bought some cheap Radars. Not photochromatic but they're better going from light to shade than the Speshs ever were. I'll probably get some transitions lenses eventually but so far thye've been so good I've just ordered a clear lens for the winter norning. Might get a persimmon one too.

I got these around 18 months ago:

£15 off ebay, worn them pretty much every ride I've done since.
