Which SUNGLASSES do you have?
I have a set of Quattro (forgot the brand) and they've been great- interchangeable lenses, but they keep sliding down when I start to sweat. I find myself tilting my head up a lot more causing discomfort in the back of my neck.

Mine are rx Flak Jackets. I haven't had a lot of chances to use them on rides yet, but I'm pretty happy so far.

^ ^ great for night rides!

My favorites are Oakley Jawbones and Radar path. I've probably got about 8 pairs of sunglasses, many of which are from PBK or Wiggle that come with multiple lenses, some like my Native glasses are from Laftlane sports sales.... they do have some good deals on there from time to time.
|
Oakley fast jacket XL... also interchangeable and they stay PUT without being uncomfortable. I have some bolle transitional sunglasses for night riding (they go from clear to a modest tint) and they're not as good.
I wish I had a vented pair for cool days in the mountains, they get a little steamy when I'm huffing and puffing up the hill. Some day I'll get some jawbones or whatever they're calling them now. |

Oakley Jawbones (now Racing Jackets) are what I went with.
Personally, I believe sunglasses are subjective to personal taste. I'm very particular with how my sunglasses fit, and the Jawbones fit the best. I love the Fast Jackets, but they don't fit my face well. I'd go with a pair of Radars (Switchlock or plain) or Flak Jackets before Fast Jackets personally. I keep hearing bad things about the coating on Oakleys. No problems for any of the posters here? I've considered going with Smith PivLock V2 or Spy Optics Screw. Racing Jackets/Radar Switchlocks can be built pretty cheap at Art's Cyclery. A Radar Switchlock with two lenses is like $220, only $160 with one lens Way better than the cost of a pair of Radar Switchlocks with two lenses. |

Oakley Jawbones Transition.
These are great for riding early morning and when the sun is up or from mid afternoon and when the sun goes down. You don't really have to change lenses. When it is cloudy, persimmon lenses. |
Oakley Half Jackets, red and white with red polarized lenses. So comfortable, they're limited make with GB flag in the logo on the sides. I thought they were going to be fake when I ordered them, turned out genuine.
But everyone else at my club has Oakley Jawbones(?), the ones with full frames around the lenses in Livestrong colours. Mostly because it matches our kit, and they were bought before all this Armstrong accusations. Either way, Oakley are by far the best lenses and frames that I have ever worn, comfort and durability. My dad has some from before I was born (I'm in my late teens), and they're only just beginning to show signs of weakness. |
Oakley Racing Jackets with clear to grey polarized transition lenses. Perfect for me since I mostly ride at night.
Found them mispriced on Amazon for $90. Bought before they fixed it. |

M Frames to Jawbones to now RadarLocks.
Didn't like the Jawbones too much as the frame thickness affected my peripheral vision. Nice looking though. |

These http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=308215 These http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=308216 and some old Performance house brand glasses. I actually like the Performance brand as much as the others and they are 1/3 the price.

I've also got a pair of Tyrants and I can't stand to wear them for more than a couple hours before they start causing pain where they sit on my ears. They're nice frames if they fit your head, though.
I did find more wind got into my eyes than I liked with them, though. |

6 pair of Oakley Jawbones - 3 are the Livestrong edition. You can get them at a deep discount!!!!
