Dark glasses

[ufkacbln]

One of the reasons I wear the Rudy Project RX

I live mostly in the "Racing Red" lens with the mirror for really bright days and yellow for night time

All are photochromic which enhances their adaptability

I need mirrored glasses to avoid eye contact with all those nobber roadies who seem to want to wave at me.

Rudy Project ftw.

Oakley or Poc for me....

I really don't understand the jealousy that seems to be around. People are constantly on here moaing about others wearing sunglasses, team kit, riding expensive bikes etc.

Just ride your bike and enjoy it.

I often wear these: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/endura-angel-sunglasses/rp-prod40405 which are photochromic (I.e they get darker as the weather gets brighter). I suspect I look a bit if a twit sometimes as they always look dark from the outside, but visibility through them is remarkably good even in fairly poor weather.

Only the latest styles for me, thank you.

Uvex Cybric safety specs for me.

First pair were given to me by a neighbour who used them off-shore on the oil rigs Tilt-able arms to suit riding on the drops or sat upright.

UV protection and blue mirrored

I wear Pro-Lite photochromatic Red to Dark glasses 27 quid Ribbles - 1 of the best secrets in cycling... Tho i very rarely wear dark glasses... I do have them, tho why people do surprises me as there're other lens that can perform like clear blu or red, the red improving reaction times etc as well as making life look 'just better! I call them my Prozac lens lol

I keep waiting for the anti helmet brigade to come and tell us wearing glasses can increase the chance of major injury.

I am a glasses wearer full stop. My day to day pair are photochromic but not polarised. Even this week in the rain they have darkened to a noticeable degree when I've got back indoors, but it doesn't take off the glare or that little bit of dazzle.

I will often wear my clip on polarised sunglssses when cycling, walking or driving in less than glorious sunshine as I find that taking the extreme edge off what brightness there is assists me more in seeing wirh total clarity than does having a slightly darker view that my pupils dilate to accommodate anyway.

Everyones eyes and response to the light hitting them is different. I'm sure some do it for the look but for some of us its genuinely done to help ourselves.

P. S. Even on the roadie I'm in jeans and t-shirt but still often with the dark clip on's on.

Also these people that amuse you may be out for an all dayer and we all know that you can often get four seasons in a day here, better to be over prepared than under.

I don't anticipate seeing a cloud until September, at which point I'll decide whether to swap my EUR 3 dark cycling glasses for my EUR 3 clear cycling glasses. I got 3 pairs for EUR 9 from Decathlon a few months back - 2 dark, 1 clear.

I've got some uh glasses that have 6 different interchangeable lenses, similar to these

I always wear sunglasses. I like the disguise factor and saves me having to stop and chat if I get recognised I do have yellow tints for very cloudy days.
