    How much are you looking to spend? Makes a big difference.

    FWIW, I use Bolle Contour ESP, clear or shaded. Work great, safety rated and at £7 they are cheap as chips (so if you drop and break them then it is no big deal). Downside is that they are a close fit so can mist up and I don't think they have any UV protection (which, to be honest and perhaps naively, I don't worry about at all).

    +1 for the Bolle kit. You'll find quite a range on eBay to choose from. Don't do what I did last Sunday though - grab a pouch without checking and find yourself wearing dark eyewear on a dull day (until I gave up wearing them). :roll:

    [The Bolle kit I have claims to be fully protective against UV, so that might be worth checking.]
    Purveyor of "up" :)

    I use Rudy project rydons with the photochromatic lenses. Great glasses, light comfortable and faultless tbh.

    I had the urge recently for some oakley jawbones which are also great, very comfortable and great looking with a wide selection of lenses which can be a bit confusing on making a decision. However just stuck with my rydons as it was a non realistic upgrade :mrgreen:

    :lol: I'm in the same situation, but the Rydons just work, no fuss, no bother, great glasses!
