    Oakley Jawbreakers with a prisim lens if I have contacts in. Or some random brand called eyepod who do a five lens kit with an insert, lens kit covers most days only omission being a photo chromatic lens. Oakleys are nicer but the ease of shucking on the others means they don't get worn much at all.

    Oakley Jawbreakers with Road Prizm Lenses (MTB and most riding)
    Oakley Radar EV with Gold Iridium Lenses (very Sunny conditions)
    Oakley Radar with yellow Lenses (night time or low light conditions)
    Oakley Heritage Razor Blades with Gold Iridium Lenses (don't wear as too small for face so will be sold soon)

    So I have a lot of Oakley as too date I have not found anything better to date, however a local LBS has just started selling !00% kit so I may give their glasses a go
    Obsessed is a word used by the lazy to describe the dedicated!

    As someone of middle age and in need of reading glasses (well varifocals now), I use these BBB photochromic glasses that have a 2.5 diopter included. https://www.merlincycles.com/bbb-bsg-49 ... 88486.html

    Very reasonably priced.

    I have a few pairs of Oakley’s. I find the best for me to be radar or radar lock as I like the amount of peripheral vision you get with them. At the moment I’m wearing my poc glasses most of the time. I’m not sure the lenses are as good quality as Oakley. But they do me just fine and again I think they offer excellent all round vision.

    Oakley Sunglasses Radar EV
    They still fog up a bit, but clears quickly once moving.

    My lid has a built in Visor, but it is removable for night riding, when I use the Decathlon numbers with changeable lenses.

    I recently bought a pair of Oakley Flak 2.0 XL with the road prizm lens. These have been awesome and I love that they don’t have a frame round the whole lens, this makes it easier to see traffic when looking over my shoulder.

    I use to ride with a pair of old Oakley Fives and the frames cut out my vision. Safety First!!

    various Oakley. Some old M-frames at the moment but I have Radar and Radarlock. Other manufacturers are good eg Rudy and I once tried some Assos Zygho (yellow lens) and was stunned how good they were and how expensive!! The frameless design was fantastic as nothing obscured my vision. But big price tag and I have bought into Oakleys.

    Jeez and I thought that I had a sunglasses habit (albeit for 'off bike' use!). At this rate, you'll soon have more shades than shoes (as I already have but you've got a lot more pairs of shoes than me or my Mrs or even Imelda Marcos).

    Cheap enough to justify though! I also have the renegades, classics and the Mrs has some of the latter too.

    I rotate between;

    100% Speedtrap Sagan edition (a little underwhelmed with the quality of these given the price, but I am Sagan's no1 fan)
    Oakley Radarlock TDF edition, Prizm Road lens (I also use these when not on bike with a Prizm Daily Polarized lens)
    Oakley EVZero Path, Prizm Road lens (for those days when weight matters)

    Reasonable sales pitch but too obvious.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    You can fool some of the people all of the time. Concentrate on those people.
