Cycling glasses / sunglasses

[HLaB]

Every pair of glasses, ever, have goggled when I stop riding from the cheapest ones to a pair of Oakleys. I have tried anti fog spray, washing in washing up liquid and every other theory to stop sunglasses fogging. Glasses fog, even my normal seeing ones do.

I find the LIDL/ALDI ones steam up very fast, sometimes if I'm just slowing down. My Endura Shark's steam up when stopped for too long and I've had a tour de
France branded pair that were similar (stopped for too long) both were around £30 IIRC. But I got a pair of Rudy Projects free from C+ several years ago and bought 2nd hand Oakley Jaw Breaker and none of them steam up. So for me, more expensive lenses/frames perform better but we are all different

Just to add to the steamy up thing, Yes the Tyrant 2.0's steam up a little too, but they clear very very quickly.

Halfords do a good range of BLOC sunglasses

Bolle Contour safety glasses cost about a fiver.

Mmmm, I was thinking about safety glasses as the local DIY place does a reasonable range...

Surprised no-one has mentioned them yet (I think), but try Screwfix or Toolstation - they both do wrap round tinted safety specs with UV protection that are idea for the bike if you don't need prescription lenses at very sensible prices - like these at £4.99 http://www.screwfix.com/p/site-2103-smoke-lens-safety-specs/1639k or these DeWalt ones for £5.99 http://www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-protector-pro-smoke-lens-safety-specs/8781t

There's a screwfix up the road. Need to go in there for some furniture polish as they do the big tins of the stuff. Thanks for the heads up. Like the fact that they've got UV protection as well.

No problem - in fact I've just spotted these on promotion:

If I didn't need prescription lenses I'd tempted to get a pair myself

 

[Reynard]

Mmmmm yeah, I'll certainly consider them... Only slight spanner in the works is I'm not a fan of overly dark lenses, so deffo a case of try before I buy. I have some very nice sunglasses for driving, but wouldn't dare wear them on the bike.

I wear Ray Ban aviators, they are cool and cover not only my eyes, but half my face, I am not wearing cycling sun glasses.
