    A pair of plastic Boots sunglasses I bought a couple of years ago is certainly adequate when weather's sunny, but I know I could do with something clear for when it isn't.

    Has anyone said they never wear a helmet, or sunglasses and they don’t eat or drink anything on 100 mile rides yet?

    Just get some of those Bolle safety glasses, they're dirt cheap (must be as my company buys them!) and do the job if style isn't high on your list of priorities.

    Cheers - Might just do that. I've definitely never been known as a fashion icon, but more to the point I can't afford to be anyway. ;)

    Pah, I don't even take a bike if the ride is less than 100 miles :wink:

    Coming from a pair of Endura's myself to Oakley Jawbones the difference is night and day.

    Firstly they are miles more comfortable and I NEVER have to adjust them like sliding them up my nose or anything.

    They only fog up whilst standing still then they clear themselves up as soon as you start riding again.

    The interchangable lenses cover al the bases.

    And they just look the part rather than some cheap builders glasses.

    Oakley Radar's - love them.

    Muc-Off Anti fog on the inside of the lens, Oakley hydrophobic pen on the outside of the lens, dark lens for sunny days and clear lens for dull days/evenings.

    Great product, expensive to start but worth it in the long term and great customer service.

    after scratching my eyeball in a self inflicted, dumbass, non cycling injury, i got to spend a night in the local A&E dept. waiting for treatment & local anaesthetic, and the following day recovering, i can confirm that it's one of the most unpleasant & painful things i've ever experienced.
    i'll be wearing glasses whenever I'm on the bike from now on. the risk may be small, the consequences are not.
    lesson learned.

    Radars all the way. If you can afford them then the quality of the optics are much better than cheap stuff. Fit wise they are great too, but all depends on your head.

    +1 on the Radarlocks. Brilliant glasses, no fogging problems at all. As said expensive but worth it
