    I managed to pick up a pair of Oakley Flak Jackets for about 70 quid this weekend. Luckily there's an Oakley Outlet within driving distance for me.

    I got some Avenir Smoke ones from amazon. £20 inc 4 different lenses. Not cycled in them yet but just run 11k in them and they were great. Light, gripped my head well and gave good protection in the brief hour of sunshine we just had. I would recommend at that price!

    +1 for the Avenirs. Bought them recently and at £20 they are an absolute bargain. Check out the review on BR-4.5 stars!

    They look the part and unlike the fakelys really do have UV protection!

    I bought a couple of the Lidl pairs, for the price really cant fault them, i am forever loosing, breaking or scratching the things so they need to be cheap as i get through 3 or 4 pairs a year.

    Excellent fitting, good looking and cheap enough for you to not bother too much if they fall on the ground.

    Some really good options being thrown about here. All reasonably affordable. Which just goes to show, why would anyone spend over £100 on something like Oakley Jawbones for example which have got to be the most fu@k ugly things on the market? All you need are a good fit and UV protection and thats all.

    I am just beginning to discover the full joys of these glasses. I don't wear glasses but these with the colourless lenses in are a godsend in the cold, windy weather we are having at present. Makes cycling so much more comfortable.

    Check out the Salice 006 glasses! So comfy, interchangeable lenses and are only £70. Made out of the same materials as Oakley too....

    In case you didnt know, all Ray-ban, Oakley, Police, etc who make big brand frames, lenses are made by a company called Luxottica. They supply so many names big or small its hard to tell the difference between a £30 or a £130 pair of glasses less the design of the frame. And if you look, some of the bigger names look rubbish, all cos of a name tag on the side
