My react to light cycling shades/glasses broke at the arm the other week. I tried my constant dark shades on my next ride but they're just too dark. Unless it's a very bright and sunny day it's difficult to see certain objects like pot holes adequately. I just use them now for general day use,like when i'm out walking. The other day i thought i'd try my pair of yellow tinted glasses,which are designed to be used on dull days to enhance the light and make such things as pot holes and pedestrians easier to see. On thing them i found my vision to be a lot better than with permanent shades and even the react to light ones. I've decided over the years that it's not the sunglasses or whatever you wear,but a helmet visor or a cap that does the best in keeping the sun out of your eyes. If you have the darkest available shades on,but without something directly stopping the sun's rays getting to your eyes then they just don't help much. Have any of you tried yellow shades on bright or sunny days and found them to be beneficial,or tried them and thought they "heck,the light is just too bright for me"......?
