Which sunglasses (sub £30ish)

[Soltydog]

After an incident this morning around 5am at a local pond I've found out my dhb sunglasses dont float

Any recommendations on some decent replacements that wont break the bank, preferably with changeable lenses ?

TIA

No decathlon anywhere near me
Thought about the C+ subscription, but could do with a apir for the weekend, got 2 full days cycling. I've got some cheap aldi/lidl ones to put me on, but they are not the most comfy glasses in the world

I use a pair of these for heli flying...http://www.modelglasses.com/elevate.htm

You can get them for about £25 on ebay, but I can't find them in the 3000 odd items at the moment - I will keep trying.

Come with 4 shades (excuse the pun) of lenses and are very good for cycling.

I find the Lidl pair steam up a fair bit too. I bought a tour de France branded pair for about the £30 mark. No idea who makes them but I find them comfortable. I wasn't really concerned about the brand I just wanted something fast,in that price range that had interchangeable lenses. To order clear lenses for my Rudys (C+ last year) was going to take too long.

Try these Madison shades they are cheap, have excellent optics and are well durable plus collapsible, no blind spots due to no frame on lower or side edges. Have used them for many years well happy with them. Have done the expensive stuff as well tbh not worth it in comparison to these. If they last a season or two you are laughing. Get several as they are so cheap so when you lose a pair as sunglasses always get lost you just get another set out of the cupboard. Very difficult to break as they are collapsible. They come with a carrying bag.

Single lens £10.95

Parkers will deliver pronto and with free 2nd class postage takes 2-3 days. Well it does for me. Can't sing (I won't attempt) the praises of these shades enough.

+1 for the Madisons. They really are excellent, extremely comfortable. Copies of Oakley M-frames I understand.

I have a pair of Tifosi Slip glasses - come with 4 lenses (clear, red, yellow, dark grey).

They have a ventilation system that seems to work really well for keeping the lens clear.

Ventillation system on shades ? Sounds like marketing babble.

Well yes. Strategically placed holes basically. Does work though, much less steam uppable than my others.

Do you wear them in the bath then?
My Madisons never steam up as they are open to plenty of fresh air.

I may well heat up more than you!

I find that my other glasses will steam up while I'm waiting at lights if the weather is sufficiently cold, and I've been working sufficiently hard. Might not be a factor for people whose routes are less stop and start, I guess.

+1 on the Madisons they never steam up on the move but do a bit when stoped at lights. Very good value for money had mine for 3/4 years now. I have also been looking at a set of Kuota's to match the bike.
