What sunglasses are you wearing?

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

Specialized Divide mountainbike glasses, because I have to purchase whatever fits my fraking large nose. They're nice aside from the fact that the top of the frame obscures my vision a bit when in the drops.

+1 on Rudy Project Rydons.

I've got a prescription adapter in it, and got the Rydon Shooting kit so I've got 5 sets of lenses to choose from:
Brown
Copper (mirrored)
Racing Red
Yellow
Clear

I'm really happy with them.

Jawbones. Really like them.

Have three lenses with them - orange and two sets of darker, polarized lenses. One set is vented - can take it or leave it as far as cycling goes, but it helps when running in winter.

Specialized Arc II

Pros: Comfy as hell, light, fast tint change, a little sweat gutter at the brow line, and Tom Boonen wears them.
Cons: I keep losing them and shelling out another fortune for them.

Half Jackets polarized for every day use.
M frames, variety of lenses, for riding/racing and glittery frames shaped to say 1999 when I want to be cool.

There are several threads on this forum about sunglasses/lenses... but in any event ...

TAG Heuer Curves 2S Polychromatic+. Love them. Use them for everything, from driving to cycling to water sports.

Do the frames on the Jawbones cause issues... from a vision perspective?

M-Frames with an assortment of lenses, but I mostly use the black iridium polarized lens.

I have Oakley Flak Jackets XLJ and Radar Paths and 10/10 times I choose the Radars. The Flaks are now for driving. I have multiple lenses for each. I have used Smith, Maui Jim, and Tifosi and these are the best in my opinion. Great optics, no slip, change lenses in seconds, I have no complaints!

UniQlo polarized sunglasses. Big lenses keep crap out of my eyes, they don't obstruct my field of vision, and they don't look all that bad. Great deal for $10.

got the cheapest pair of polarized ones with two lenses and no bottom frame I could find. They work great and I don't have to worry about scratches.

must see picture to believe it.


I splurged on my sunglasses at Target. I stopped buying anything that is so expensive/fragile it needs its own special case.
