Alternatives to Ryders brand cycling sunglasses?

Hi

Ryders has some good sunglasses, with some great features that I really like... but for what I pay for I don't feel like their plastic frames are up to snuff. https://www.ryderseyewear.com

I'm looking for other sunglasses brands, cycling or general sporting.

Any recommendations for sunglasses brands?

Features I'm looking for:
-Adjustable rubber nose support and side grips!

-The least amount of peripheral vision blockage (ie frameless bottom & sides)

-Highend lenses (assortment of colours, filters, photochromatic, etc)

-Sturdy frames: This is where I felt Ryders shades were lacking a bit. Why not metal frames? Flexy titanium frames like some regular glasses have? Why are they always flimsy plastic? I suppose the idea is people should take care of them, but after daily usage over years, that plastic is gonna break somewhere, somehow. Then I have to spend another $100 every 3 years?

I had some Ryders cycling glasses years ago, they were great, but sold them. I forgot why. Just want to shop more before spending bucks on them again.

Try dark safety glasses. Cheap, reliable and come in many styles.

Aha Giro has a line now:

Any actual cycling models, or is it just sports fashion stuff?
