Glasses

[vickster]

I used an older version of these for a couple years and they were brilliant. I accidentally stood on them after falling off the bike
The prescription lenses were done by Rapid themselves and were the clearest lenses I've used in 30+ years.
Total cost at the time was a shade under £100 and soon as I can afford them, I'll be making a new order.

Fixed. Thanks vickster.

Highly recommend these Photochromic Cycling Glasses . Use them both for commuting and weekened cycling, love them, very rarely smog up and if they brake or get lost no real big deal.

I'm a bit worried that someone said their eyelashes touched the lenses - that would drive me insane.

It was never a problem for me when I used inserts.

You could always take your befluttering eyelashes off before mounting the bike

My worst cycling glasses were my Oakleys - cost a fair whack over £200 and were forever moving around - then my eyes changed so I no longer need prescription lenses for cycling - I used a pair from Spesh and a pair from Briko which may actually have been for ski-ing.

The Briko were the most practical if not perhaps the most stylish - I always had the idea that when fitted with the clear or tinted (dark lenses no problem) the visible insert made me look like Cosmo Smallpiece or someone who should be on a register of some sort.

edit - the Briko looked something like this -

practical design - single piece clip in lens for both eyes - have given that link to show you the type though that one doesn't have the insert clip or I think the interchangeable lenses. Quick search round the web will probably turn up something like mine - just search briko glasses insert or similar.

£2 clear safety glasses from Screwfix is all you need. Polycarbonate, impact resistant and anti-scatch.

Tinted glasses are good for not seeing pot holes on the road in the shade.

I can also recommend these for folk who don't need prescription lenses.

Come with three lenses.

Very easy to change the lenses so I use them touring - only need to take the single pair.

You can also get spare lenses - you can't for many glasses.

There are slots above the lenses when fitted to aid venting/relieve potential for misting.

Round town/day to day I often use cheapo Aldi/Lidl things but changing the lenses on those is so much of a fag you risk breaking the frame so I tend not to change the lenses - if I need more than one on a ride just carry a spare pair with other lenses in.
