Oakley Flak Jacket shades...never move from my face. I lost a pair and the next day went and replaced them.

Sears was having a deal a while back: Buy a pair of standard rx glasses get a free pair of rx sunglasses.

I got a set of Rayban sunglasses, but I still have not used them for riding, they have some kind of grippy rubber coating so the glasses don't slip.

Wow, I completely forgot about this post. Those retainers would totally work, I might still get some, but since then I got a new pair of glasses with a light weight Nike frames (model 4143). My previous frames were super cheap, which I got free through VSP insurance. I decided to spend a little money this time and the Nike frames work great. First off they are very light and also the head grippers are soft silicone and provide a lot of friction. I still have to push them up every once and a while, but not even a fraction of how much I used to. I also got transition lenses which work great while biking, but I have a smart phone and it makes it too hard to see the screen when outdoors.

I also ended up getting some contacts and Tifosi Vogel sunglasses. I only wear the contacts on long rides and they don't bother me when I'm riding. Although, my eyes are always all bloodshot afterwords. I don't go on long rides very often (perhaps I should change that) so I don't really feel like contacts are worth it for me. I got a year's worth of contacts for free due to combination of insurance and a promotion from my optometrist, so I don't feel too bad about it. I might just abandon my contacts altogether and just use my glasses since they're just fine for biking. Perhaps I'll save them for events where I'll get my picture taken . I might still consider picking up some Keepons, though.

I still think Oakley was so wrong on calling those narrow sunglasses "Asian" fit. Not all Asians have the same facial structure. Just have a "regular| and a "narrow" version and call it a day.

and to answer the thread:

these are available from your local .99c store

I just push them up. I have the same problem, same problems with solutions (if glasses are snug it's difficult if the lenses get smudged). The finish on the center of my glasses frame wore off.

There's another guy that rides around with his glasses down his nose. He used to be one of the best riders around here and part of his gig was his unassuming appearance. I think he intentionally looked like a non-Cat 1, a non-medalist in Nationals, etc etc etc.

Lots of options.

I use contacts with no problems. I can't say that will work for you but you may wish to try them.

These would work very well,


The one on the left is larger and more secure (See Spectacles Temple Tip - Wedge Classic). The one on the right is more discreet, nicer and more comfortable (See Spectacles Retainer - Flex Discreet).

They basically work by slipping over the glasses arms and resting against the back of your ear to stop the glasses from slipping. I have tested them on my jog and my glasses don't slide down even with my perspiration flowing down my face.

Zombie thread. No problem with that. Just alerting folks.

I need some new sport sunglasses that do a good job of not slipping. Any recommendations?

Glasses go over the helmet straps not under, even in 2012.

Look, guys! The thread ended 7 years ago thanks to Googles.

I think I'll try these. $20. Polarized. 5 lenses!

Actually only 1 of the lenses is polarized.

didn't read any of the replies...but I'd suggest getting glasses that fit.

I had the same issue. Probably not the most accessible recommendation and going to come off as snide since it's a good $4k but Lasik and more specifically epi-lasik.

Worth every (initially) painful moment and penny. I lived like a hobo for 8 months and saved my money. Would do it again.

Actually, knowing what I do know about it, if they wanted $10k for it, I'd find a way. And if you read these forums with any regularity you'll find out I'm a cheap ass.

Correct. I never had any problem whatsoever with any of my sunglasses sliding down my nose until I got to where I needed a prescription, and sprung for a pair of the newer Oakley Flak Jacket (forgot the exact model name) with prescription lenses at $750. Nothing more frustrating than to look down at your cassette (c'mon, we all do it) only to have your glasses sliding down your nose. And putting them under the helmet straps (though it works to some degree) looks stupid. I got the cinch cord (whatever that thing is called) that connects to the ends of the temples where you can cinch up to the back of the head and that is the ticket; no more sliding.
