cycling glasses/sunglasses

considering some new ones.
However, would I be pushing it with some of those large lenses seen on roadies?
scion or Oakley or maybe koos, mmmmm decisions

 

[Joffey]

Go for it

You'd look like an Iron Man fan on his way to a Comicon for a spot of cosplay action.

Is it purely the looks that you are asking about ?

FWIW - I have to wear prescription specs when cycling - for ages I tried the budget options - but in the end I dropped almost £300 on a pair of Rudy projects - probably one of my best cycling purchases had them a good few years now. Been great.

Yes, the Bolle anti-mist are worth paying £10.49 for:

Or £11.99 for anti-fog

I presume that Anti-fog are better than Anti-Mist?

Edit:
I'm liking the look of these for £15.99:

[Bollo]

Like @kingrollo I have to wear prescription sunnies. I don't get on with lens inserts, so the frame choice to the more traditional narrower frames and not the big-ass ski style ones that seem to be in vogue. My current set are Bolle and they're perfectly fine and robust, but with prescription lenses they cost a few quid more than a tenner 😭 .

I can only assume they are - sounds a bit of a loose description?

TBH, I only started using them as my company chooses them as standard PPE for our industrial sites and I trust my Industrial Safety team to know what they are talking about in terms of impact resistance, UV protection, EN standards, etc, etc. I only get issued the clear ones for work but ordered the smoke lens ones for myself on line. For £10 I find them really comfortable, I can wear them off the bike and I won't be annoyed if they get broken or nicked!!

My cynical side tells me that if they called them Cycling or Sports Glasses they'd market at a much higher price.

In all seriousness, the margins on eyewear are eye-watering, and only increasing as the industry concentrates in every fewer hands.

Look like a pair of ski goggles - !
I still buy safety glasses; available in plain, tinted, mirror, yellow etc.. for around £6 - £7 and are stylish enough.
So if you break or lose them, no real damage to the wallet.

I bought some of these in 2017.

Just replaced them with the same again, as the lenses were getting a bit worn. Insert was glazed to my subscription.

£155 - ?
Yer definitely 'avin' a larf - !
That's over twenty pairs of my aforementioned safety glasses and they can look just as stylish - !
