New Sunglasses

crobinson78

Can anyone recommend a pair of interchangeable lens sunglasses. Oakley are way too expensive. I have been wearing a budget pair which are fixed lens and don't suit on dull days. I am looking to buy a reasonably priced but half decent pair.
Also can anyone justify the price of Oakley to me??

Have a look at Sunwise Sunglasses on amazon.co.uk. I have a pair with four sets of interchangeable lenses that were about £25 and are really rather nice. I bought them because they include clear lenses to offer protection from midges on late evening rides. Good end-of-summer discounts coming through online now.

EDIT - my posh pair of sunnies are Tifosi photochromics for about £70 from Cadence in Bath. Very nice indeed.

I found the best way to go was Safety glasses - they are cheap, light and perform exactly the same way. With cycle glasses you end up paying more for name. I bust a £50 pair after they dropped out of my helmet - was recommended to use safety glasses and never looked back. !

+ they offer better field of vision.

a tip to stop lenses misting (not mine, saw it on YouTube), coat both side of the lens with shampoo (any shampoo would do i think, I use a cheap one from Aldi). Coat them, let them dry and buff them with a very soft clothe, guarantee it won't mist, I use my glasses for MTBing and you do get hot and puff out on climb.
