I wear glasses all normally. After last winter, dealing with rain, sweat, dirt, etc. all winter long, and getting my expensive prescription lenses scratched as a result, I decided to go with contacts, at least when I was riding.

My regular glasses are photochromatic, so I've grown accustomed to having dark glasses on when its sunny outside. However, I've also grown accustomed to having them lighten by themselves when the sun isn't bad. After I switched to contacts, I decided I needed some darkened sunglasses.

I started out with some regular sunglasses that wrapped a bit to the sides. These, and the replacement I got for them after I lost the first pair, cost me about $30 each. After spending $60 in a couple of months on sunglasses, I decided there had to be a better way.

There was. I went to the local construction wear store, where they sell things like the safety vest I wear, and picked up 3 pairs of safety glasses of varying darkness (1 is clear) for about $5.00 each. They cover better than the sunglasses ever did, and I *know* that they'll stand up to light rocks and other road debris, since they're safety glasses. The fact that they were super cheap compared to sunglasses is a bonus.

And yes, they do have UV protection as well. They're designed to be worn by construction workers on the job site. They even have temples that adjust length for different peoples faces.

Highly recommended.
