I have Endura Stingray - 4 lenses for about £35, so a bit over budget:

They sell a 3 lens 'Shark' set (no Polaroid) for under £30, but I haven't tried these.

Try the Avenir ones for about £20. Think they got a 4.5 star rating on BR review

The dhb ones cracked for me, after just over a year.

Don't have these myself, but they are as cheap as chips and get good reviews:

SERIOUSLY - Buy Safety Glasses !

After busing up a £50 pair last year a friend on a group ride told me to go on ebay and get a pair of safety glasses. being 100% plastic they offer a better field of vision (no rims etc), have impact standards, UV protection. They are also cheaper.

I have a pair of these in smoke and clear but you can find hundreds of styles to suit you:

The ones in the link are like wearing a windscreen over your eyes. Theres virtually nothing in the way of your field of vision - especially when you have to look over your shoulder.
Seriously don't waste money on designer or branded glasses that do the same thing !

Ribble do decent Kuotos for about £25 but they don't last that well.

Our local H&S supplier has clear and smoked safety glasses for sale at about £1.50+VAT. The smoked ones look a bit weird (like the bulbous eyes of a bee/wasp) but the clear ones are great. A friend bought six pairs of each and regards them as disposable.

My Aldi glasses are several years old and are now needing replacing. I was thinking of getting some army surplus safety glasses like these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USED-ESS-ICE- ... 232e9fe05b

yup - haven't gone back to those uber expensive shades you can get since. However I would warn you to get ones that wrap around nicely or you will get air drawback which makes your eyes water !
