Sun glasses, interchangable lenses
Does anyone have recommendations for these?
I've just gotten contacts, and let me tell you, wearing contacts with prescription sunglasses just don't work (
)..
I tried on the Nike, but the optics seemed wierd. The oakleys seem to be OK.. I'm curious about rudy project or anything else out there.

I like my Native Eyewears. They have a polarized lens which is nice when I'm out on the water kayaking, sailing or fishing. The lenses are easily changed and the fit and styling is nice.
My old pair of sunglasses were a pair of Smith's Buzzsaws. I lost the glasses, but still have the 2 extra set of lenses. If I see these on sale anywhere, I'm buying them. I just like the style more!
My wife also has a pair of Smith's, I think she has the Slider2's. She ended up buying a second exact same pair after about 3 years of abuse on her first pair.

I have a pair of Smith Slider 01. They ae fine except on REALLY bright days the darkest lenses aren't dark enough for me, but that might just be personal preference

I've used Bolle polarized and really like them.
I think that Nashbar or Performance has last years
Parole and Rogue glasses on sale for something like
$39.00
Rudy Project Kerosene is probably the best of the
lot according to alot of riders who wear contacts
(keeps wind out thus not alot of drying out).

as soon as i get the scratch i'm getting some oakley half-jackets. i ride in the twenties now, but i want interchangeable lenses. i tried on the half-jackets and they were exceptionally comfortable, great optics, light, and stayed on my face.

The Madison Ravens are nice, come with a carry case and three lenses, Amber, clear, and tinted mirrored ones, they are light as hell, flexible, and the legs dont snap easily. For £40 you cant miss.

I have Performance Athena's, but they're made for small faces, so they might not fit you. However, they're great biking glasses as I don't want to lose the Oakley's I got as a gift whle riding.
