Eye Protection

Like someone said I believe the yellow lenses make me feel happier.

I think you need rose-tinted lenses for that.

Got myself a pair of cheap "Raleigh" (uh hu, I dont think so... more a Raleigh sticker on a cheap product) of cycling glasses from Argos. £9.99 with 3 different lenses. Took 'em out today with the clear ones in, most excellent.

The worst is later in the day, just before the sunset hours, when the sun is low and you're cycling past trees. The sun literally flashes like a camera in your eye a few time a second as the trees often block the light. Still, not sure thats as bad as having flies drown in your eye...

What about the old swalling the flies thing...how do people cope with this? I have tried a buff over my face, but don't really like it, so end up having my dinner on the way home But one day I will get a nasty bugger in there like a bee

Perversely the cyclechat approved outfitters (aldi) haven't got multi-lens glasses in their current cycling selection.

The 2nd approved outfitters (Lidl) have, starting the 19th May - see other posts of this!

Has anyone considered airsoft safety glasses?
most come with a choice of frames and also come with interchangeable lenses. the bonus is that they're protective lenses so should stop things like gravel and whatnot from penetrating. certainly put paid to flies.
you usually get a pair of smoke, mirror, clear and yellow lenses with the better ranges.
