Just curious. I pretty much wearing C9 Champion or Ironman sunglasses every time I ride outdoor.

Bolle...couldn't tell you the model. Had them for years, they fit comfortably and are polarized. What more could one want?

I tried polarized sunglasses, but it gives me eye strained as well headache.

I won't buy sunglasses that aren't polarized and have UV protection. I used to spend a lot of time out on the water and the glare reduction of polarized lenses were far better than just tinted lenses. Even though I am not spending a lot of time on the water anymore, I still prefer the significantly better glare reduction

Had Smith Slider Mainlines. Loved them until I broke them. Lasted 10+ years.

Nowadays it's Tifosi Mast's with the photochromatic lenses. Decent tint, great durability - My brother got me these originally for wearing on my farm after one of my chick's pecked a contact out of my eye (I'm lucky). They're a little scratched now but have shielded me from a few rocks, twigs and bugs while clearing brush, riding my bike and cutting wood.

When I learned how to ride a bike, I was wearing Maui Jim Wayfarer-style sunglasses. As the weather got progressively hotter, the Maui Jim started slipping off my face more and more due to sweat.

I now wear Rudy Project Rydons when I ride. These fit comfortably and have been proven to stay on my head no matter how much I sweat. I got them with polarized lenses. I just ordered a set of their photochromic replacement lenses - the Rydons let you swap out different types of lenses for different uses. The photochromic lenses go from clear to dark and back, depending on the lighting conditions. I commute to work by bike 1-2 times a week and my route has me facing the sunrise in the morning and sunset in the evenings. Right now, the polarized lenses are fine because we are in Daylight Savings Time, but after DST is finished, it'd be nice to have lenses that automatically adjust with the sunlight.

I have a pair of prescription Maui Jim- similar to some of the other sport frame types. Extremely well designed optically- polarized, total UV block, etc. They are great glasses, although pricey.

Rudy Project Rydons for me as well, graphite with red multilaser lenses. Spectacularly comfortable, and the lenses are optically flawless. I've had mine for about 6 years now, and have only had to replace one lens in that time due to my own carelessness. They get a lot of favorable comments. Less than $150 if you can find them on sale.

Has anyone found a sport glass available in progressive lenses that doesn't cost $500-600? Prefer an iridium type lens like Oakley or Revo but not married to the idea.

Smith Pivlock V2 with a prescription insert.

Bluechip

Rudy Project Rydon's as well. Mine are the ones with the reader lenses. Makes it so much easier to read the bike computer with them. They replaced the same type from Dual Eyewear. The RP's are of much higher quality.

I have a pile of Oakley's but lately I've been wearing non cycling/sport glasses for the hell of it, which include some older Dolce & Gabanna and Rayban Wayfarers or whatever is handy at the moment.

Smith

I like that they are bridgeless because of stenosis in the cervical spine area, glasses with bridges make me either crane my neck to see or I can't get low

Tifosi - I don't remember the specific model, but they have the interchangeable lenses, which I like.

DrIsotope

Wiley X Valor, anti-glare, anti-scratch, 7% transmission, grey flash lens coating, prescription. Father's Day gift from the family, and they're tremendous.

Trueblood

I don't know if you will find progressive lenses in sports glasses - do you need to read with them on? For a single vision prescription it could be tough to beat zenni optical. As well as your prescription you will need your pupillary distance (PD).

The $30 Cavalo from Nashbar

I'm sort of researching sunglasses myself. My issue is wind blowing around the edge to the point where I have actually lost contact lenses.

Nashbar Icarus. Bought them on a whim (iirc I needed to spend enough to get free shipping). With the regular nashbar 20% off sales, they come in under $20. The softshell case that they come with would almost be worth the price by itself. Quality is decent enough for the price...I tend to only buy cheap sunglasses since I seem to lose them. My one complaint is the rubber earpieces tend to slip off...which reminds me I need to buy some super glue.

Same, Maui Jim Progressives. Expensive but great glasses.

I could want my prescription. Which is why I got prescription (single vision) sunglasses - got them at Walmart using a pretty basic large size frame with a slight wraparound, for $95. They're fine, they do the job, the prescription is right on, lenses are polarized and UV protected, and the frames are big enough that they keep the wind out of my eyes and I can see out of the corrected part of the lenses when I'm on the drops.

I wasn't looking to spend $400 or more on my sunglasses, which is what a set of prescription Maui Jim or Oakley's would have cost.

Recently ordered Brown Transition glasses in a progressive prescription. I've not received them yet. If interested in how they are, drop me a PM.

I wear reading glasses when needed, and I do need them to see my bike computer's display. So, I picked up a pair of Aloha's Stone Creek MX1 non-prescription reading sunglasses.

A portion of the bottom 1/3rd of the lenses incorporates built-in magnification, like you'd find in drug store reading glasses. For me, these pseudo-bifocals are the perfect solution. And they don't look half bad, either, IMO.
