I've been riding on the North Shore for 20+ years, mostly without glasses.
Most of the riding we do is technical, and slower speed, so not much thrown back in your face.
I assume your riding is similar.
However, I do have a pair of Smiths with the interchangable lenses. Dark sun lens, orange, and yellow.
Sunglasses in the forest of the Pacific NOrthwest ?..... you can't see anything even on a bright sunny day.
On a dark rainy day, the yellow lens is awesome.... its like someone actually turned on a light in the dark forest, and keeps stuff out of your eyes for the decents where you do get speed.
The orange lenses are good for the days when its not so dark in the woods.
My riding varies. Some days its fast and loose and some days slower and technical, some days its everything. I shouldn't have labeled the thread as sunglasses, as I am looking for clear lenses, maybe a slight smoke lens and a yellow lens. My problem is my eyes water from going fast and I have gotten dirt/mud in my eyes every ride this fall. How do you like your smiths? What do lenses run you?
