Not one single post for Spy's "Screw"?? Anyways, they can be had for half the cost of new Oakley Radars etc, Plus the interchangeable lenses are only about $18.00 on Amazon, and no, that's not a knockoff lens. I have a pair and love them, very light (27 grams), stick to your nose and head very well...I don't have to push them up at all. Once they're on they stay there. I think I picked mine up for $80 on eBay. Great purchase and didn't break the bank.

I use Rapala polarized fishing glasses to ride and drive with. They are light and reduce the glare, they even fit over my prescription glasses.

Rudy Project Genetyk. I like them, the optics are great and the photochromatic lenses work well. My eyelashes brush them tho and get them dirty.

+1 Oakley Jawbones with multiple lenses. Never had a problem with them riding. I went matte black on black, so I wear them as casual glasses as well when not on the bike.

Just bought a pair of Oakley Racing Jackets to replace a pair of five year old Rudy Project Kerosenes I crashed up pretty badly last year. We'll see how it goes. Surprisingly, I always expected the Oakleys to be super pricey, but it turns out they were about the same price as the Rudys. Custom Oakleys are pricey; packaged Oakleys are pretty cost competitive. Still expensive, mind you, but not over-the-top expensive.

I've got Oakley Half Jacket XLs ($80). I got them for marathon and 50K training but they work great for riding. I prefer polarized, but the lens are changeable. Other lens cost another $80.

I bought a few pairs of these Specialized glasses a few years ago, they quickly became my favorite riding glasses...
My all time favourites were the Briko Stingers, I just wish I could find some new ones for sale somewhere...

Im using the Oakley XLJ Flak Jackets and I love them! They are super light and comfortable, however sometimes they do steem up if I stop. However when I start riding again they clear right up!

I have a relatively narrow face/head, and used to have Rudy Projects (Ekynox SX then Rydon) but tried Numa Shark for something different, with red lenses (progressive bifocal) from sports optical...so far, at least as good as the Rudys with even better wraparound-edness for my prescription.

I'm amazed at what a lot of you spend on glasses. I see them as essentially consumable and try to stay under $30.
