I've been quite happy with my Eyepod Hawks over the last years although they are a little flimsy, but at the £80 i paid for them 3yrs back i think they've been good value. They are now £100 for single vision glasses and that got me looking around for some alternatives and not being able to justify the high end prices of the named brands that seem to be £250 - £300 or even more i had a look here on CC and always came up with the same few suppliers:
Optilabs
Extreme Eye Wear
RX Sport
The prices still seemed quite high even if the quality and brand was still some what of an unknown and really i was looking for something with interchangeable lenses if possible as i really like that feature on my Eyepods as i often use the yellow or light blue in lower light conditions and the regular black or full photo chromatic during the day.
So after some searching around i found the Bloc Titan range which looks really good. I like the lens clip in/out system and these are 2 separate lenses, also there's several options within that range that offer 4 lenses as standard, and finally there are many colour options of both the arms, temple band and also even the lenses themselves.
These glasses are £40ish with a single lens or £60 with the 3 extra coloured lenses
Bloc themselves only sell the glasses as non-prescription but there are a few resellers out there that offer a prescription service and i found UK Eyewear that offer them at £125 with a single vision prescription !!! Which i thought seems a reasonable price if the quality is as good as it looks.
