Simple law of physics- the darker your glasses, the faster you will ride.
Also, the sooner you will fall.

+1 I wear them 365 days a year. They are even better than nothing at dusk and morning. They bring out the contrast in things.

I always take my Oakleys out in my jersey pocket, and despite getting bugs and crap in my eyes, I rarely put them on. When wearing them, I end up with this strange detached feeling from my surroundings, and when I take them off and see the real colour of the world, I feel like I'm missing out on the rare nice days we get in the UK.

Use Rudy Project and they do dark lens for the brilliant sunshine- They also do lens that look dark but lighten things up a bit when you look through them. They also do a yellow lens that is fantastic at Dusk, whilst there is still some light about. They are like night vision glasses. And then there are the plain clear lens that I use on the night rides.

Correction:

OK, Corey Hart.





I'm not proud of knowing know this.

I wear dark shades all year round, and the orange ones in really low light (dark early mornings/early evening).... but then again, I'm a Pro, so it's all good.

The UV is scattered, as is the visible light. Your eyes adjust to let in more light, but they also let in more UV.

Snow blindness is light and UV reflecting off the ground so you get 2X the amount of UV.
