Recomendations for Sunglasses

[dim]

I have a really good pair of sunglasses that I have been using for cycling. They are not cycling sunglasses .... they are Mountaineering sunglasses and are very good (Julbo Bivouak) ... they are category 2 to category 4 ( anti-fog, polarized and photochromatic)

I now have a Garmin Edge 1000 and with these sunglasses, I struggle to read the on the screen, as the sunglasses go too dark at times

I have Serengeti Driver's sunglasses, very good, but they fog up (they are sunglasses for driving a car)

so, I need new glasses.... criteria being that it must be anti fog, and not too dark (I may be getting the Garmin Varia Vision thingy soon, and would want to be able to see what's on that screen aswell

any recommendations?

I recommend that you only wear sunglasses when it is actually sunny!

Wear glasses with lighter lenses (e.g. amber) in overcast conditions and clear lenses in gloomy conditions or at night.

to be honest, I'm not too worried about the lens colour etc .... just need something to protect my eyes from the debris from the wind ....

but it would be nice to have a bit of tint to protect from direct sunlight, especially if you ride towards the sun on early mornings, and one that will enable me to read my Garmin

thanks ... I've bookmarked those .... even if I get others, for that price it's a bargain, plus they are anti-fog

I went for Endura reactive one out of Evans as they didn't break the bank. I think these ones in a black frame https://www.evanscycles.com/endura-manta-light-reactive-glasses-EV160817

I have Endura Angel, which are light reactive and also come with a clear lens. In terms of fogging they're better than most I've used. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/...gclid=CImrsKajs9ACFfUW0wodOf0Lqw&gclsrc=aw.ds

I believe in buy once, so cost won't be an issue .... I'm just after something that's going to work, so it would be good to hear from guys who have been in the same situation, and have tried different sunglasses that they recommend

Bolle do a lot of similar ones for around a fiver. I was always losing mine so now I don't bother with glasses.

I could not agree more "buy once" thats why i suggested Oakley's

I use the Bolle clear safety glasses at about 5 pounds a pair from Amazon, they fit superbly and they're great in winter to protect eyes from the wind. In summer, I buy the tinted ones. Over a couple of years they've cost me about £20 for 4 pairs, and they look "pro" and stylish. This way I don't care if they get scratched or if I leave them in a coffee shop or pub.
I save my sunglasses budget for new Wayfarers to wear in the car and wherever else I'm not going to damage them or lose them.

I found the vision fine. The shading is about half of a normal smoke lens so can get by on a sunny or a dull day. I found them ideal for commuting and grinding

Chinese Oakley copies from ebay. Jawbreakers, plus case and 4x spare lenses for about £13 posted. Really can't go wrong.
