Rudy equinox. I've had the same pair for six years. Every part can be replaced. You can send the lenses back to Rudy and for $20 you get brand new ones ($25 for two set's of lenses). So when the lenses get too scratched up you don't have to buy a whole new pair of glasses.

I have a caveman like forhead and have always had a problem getting glassess to fit. The adjustable nosepeice makes this very simple.

I have a dark lens and yellow lens. I only use these for cycling. It is a big investment but has easily payed fot itself after six years!

I got the Shifty's last year. The optics are really good and they do a great job w the wind but the limited peripheral vision due to the size of the frames takes a bit of getting used to.

Natives while NOT wearing contacts for me. Lasik = best thing ever.

OAKLEY GASCANS(as pictured above)

seriously, you will never regret it. they look good, you can get them in whole bunch of different frame colors and styles, the lenses are second to none and also come in a bunch of different tints. and you dont need to look like a complete jackass when you stop riding...

i just got contacts today. out with the old prescription aviators. have there been an technological advances is good shades for riding in the last year?

native silencer's... fit well, don't look too tool-bag like if i wear them around town, and they have 4 different sets of lenses. You might as well get roadie glasses if you a) wear a helmet or b) wear any spandex. The helmet and/or spandex makes you look like a prick anyway, so you might as well finish off the look.

I've broken my nose a couple of times so pretty much everything sits really high on my face and I need something with a nice drop in the lens. Best I've found are the Serfas Arenas.



Before that, I just scrounged as many Briko Stingers as I could find. I will still break a pair out from time to time to go all Euro-fabulous.

another vote for the Gascans. I love mine. They're great for going to snow too.

I picked up these Smiths for when im commuting or training and dont want to look like Super-Roadie.

just got these over easter weekend because it was pissing rain like nobody's business and i had to ride home...got tired of hard squinting while bombing hills.



they also come in matte black and gloss black.

i dont wear sunglasses normally but these are dope. they do fog up a little bit if i'm at a stoplight, but they clear very quickly once i get moving. they dont block my peripheral vision, and they keep rain/wind almost entirely out of my eyes. they come with 4 lenses: "rose", "rust", brown, and clear. the rose is kind of pink, the rust is basically orange. both lenses make things very contrasty--good for riding in foggy conditions or dusk/dawn/rain. they come with a sleeve/cleaning cloth and a hard case as well as a separate wallet divided into sections to keep your lenses in. i got mine for 50 bucks. they're very comfortable.

if i broke these, or lost them or whatever, i would buy another pair to replace them.


EDIT: oh yeah. they are Serfas Miradors.

+1 kwhord, blueblockers all the way. theyre cheap pretty easy to find, and while these are pretty "hipster"...they work great, block out wind, and remind us all of the fat guy rapping on tv late at night....PS not that anyone gives a yank, but apparently blueblockers are the sunglasses of choice for north korea's kim jong il, and for those of you who miss the rap here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHM-hWYuVS4

Campmor has a really good price on them right now. I love the rose lenses when the sky is grey, and having the clear is nice when I have to ride after dark.

Check out steepandcheap.com, they often have good deals on sunglasses. I got some Smith Shelter glasses there for like 20 bucks, they're super good for riding.

Oakley makes some great cycling sunglasses. Get the polarized lenses. I've got a pair of XX's and they keep the wind out even at 50+mph.

Just watch 'steepandcheap.com' and buy something. They have all sorts of awesome sunglasses for sale all the time.

Notice the guy wearing the sunglasses is the one that wins the race.
