Prescription sports glasses - clear or dark

[philinmerthyr]

Specsavers have a new range of sport glasses. With prescription lenses they are around £150.

I can only afford 1 pair. Should I get clear lenses or Polaroid sunglasses? I suppose reactor light is an option but not sure.

Any thoughts?

Depends what you're riding - if you're on a road bike then it's illegal to ride if you're not wearing dark glasses.

Mainly road cycling so the sunglasses it may have to be. Do I buy brighter lights for night riding

I use reactolight, only problem I have is when using them in a forested area.

I have some Specsavers reactolites on a sort of wraparound frame. They work ok but they respond quite slowly when back indoors etc

when riding in the dark, you need to use clear lenses! So choose based on when you ride, if you only ride in sun light then you will be fine with sunglasses.

P.s. it's polarised lenses. Polaroid is a company that makes cameras.

I saw a display in the shop. Can't recall the name but they were well made and fitted well. I also looked online but couldn't find them either.

But do they do sports glasses or are they normal frames?

It's worth paying the extra for photo-sensitive lenses in a sports frame. I've been using them for years, even at night, when they let 90% of the light through.

Mine are Oakleys - I'm on my second pair now. There are a few other people who do them as well - google prescription sunglasses. I'd avoid the ones that use prescription inserts.
