Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

They hold up well and the insert is a standard size if I want to upgrade the shell to some other, more reputable brand.
Ridden 100+ miles with these and they've held up well. Despite steamy heat , no fogging of the prescription inserts. The standard "blue/grey" is good for 99% of daytime cycling. The amber lenses are good for increased contrast. Wore the clear at night and had no problem with internal reflection from oncoming lights. Haven't worn the polarized yet -- tends to black out bike computer

Took a glancing hit from a stone kicked up from a friends' bike and no cracks or scratches. Replacing these lenses is a lot less expensive than prescription cycling glasses.

Kit comes with a goggles strap as well as standard temples, but so far I've had no slippage.

This is quite possibly the most awesome, albeit the least practical thing I have ever purchased for my bike:

I kind of have a whole cat theme going on.

I have the Rock Bros version (Amazon, there's like a billion variations from different knockoff brands) and use them all the time. They are kind of hinkey compared to a "real" pair but are surprisinglyy scratch resistant, don't fog up and hold up to sweat and abuse pretty well. Styling is lame but I don't care that much.

I think I paid $15.

Welcome to Bikelangelo -

They also sell through eBay (user: wcycling1), and a few of the designs are on Amazon.
