tifosis are fairly inexpensive and actually very decent for polycarbonate lenses. Styling is okay, but the optics are very good--very little distortion means you won't get a headache/eyestrain (happens to me with cheapie glasses).

Ray Ban Wayfarers or Oakley Frogskins with croakies. Done.

Two words: Rudy Project.

Get one that wraps around your head nicely. I rock the Rydon and I love it. Pricey, but good. Comfy, light, durable. And you can buy all the bits separately, so if one part craps out you can replace it for real cheap.
2/3 the price of an Oakley or less, doesn't look like crap and works the same.

I wear motorcycle goggles until it gets to be about 60 degrees, then I can wear sunglasses.

Sorry to repost all the pics, but does anyone know where I could find one of those helmets in the last three pics? And, like, what style is that? Thanks bros

^ search for hairnet in the cycling section on ebay. There is usually one a week. Sometimes Cinelli ones. They go for about $50. But honestly, the word is that they don't do too much for you.

do not do too much for you?? is looking funky not enough these days?! geez.;)

i wear rydons with prescription lenses. they are the awesome!

i just wanna use the H word so.. so bad.

rumor has it that they're actually worse for you than not wearing a helmet, because if you end up hitting your head, the leather snags on the concrete and wrenches your neck. then again, they're pretty cool in a traditional conversation piece kind of way.

oh yeah, and i have prescription oakley half jackets. basically the most popular roadie sunglasses ever.

Rudy Kalyos. But I'm a roadie :)

Modern Amusment 14's. Like wayfers, but just a bit of wrap. The green lenses let me wear them even when it's not super sunny and the only cost $29 bucks. They will never be touched by croakies though. Cheers.

Nice Shemagh... please don't tell me you bought that at Urban Outfitters though..

You're more than welcome to... I understand.

rudy project sunglasses are really cool.

otherwise oakley now has transition lenses available. i've got a real nice pair that transition back and for between 30% light transmission to 70% (black to grey).

I also wear the sunglasses/clear glasses I used to ride my motorcycle with. The foam is made to seal out wind/dirt, etc. I didn't pick up a $100 pair...but I picked up less expensive pairs in clear and in smoke.

A couple of companies make those things. I think Rudy does, too, and Specialized.
The trick is to look up the % limits and make sure it's enough for you. I'd never buy one that only goes up to 70% cuz that's still pretty dark. Same with the dark end, look up the figure and compare it to other glasses.

I think there was a big technological improvement recently: my sister's new glasses go all the way to 95% or so (=perfectly clear), and very quickly. That was not available a few years back. I'm not sure if sunglasses can do the same already.

I second, third, and fourth the Rudy Project recommendation. Three removable lenses, minimalist "roadie" look, and *gasp* they actually do something for me while riding!

I switch between aviators for short/slow rides from A to B, and a few pairs of oversized but squarish girl glasses that I get for $20 or less from surf shops, target, or forever 21. None of them are polarized, but graduated tint seems to work pretty well for most conditions.

get the ones they have at the eye doctor's office.. they are cheap and work really well

What planet do those cost only 29 bucks on?

I like my current glasses but they fit a touch big.
Does anyone know where I could get something to attach to the swingarm on my glasses to hook behind my ear?
I have a strap that runs across the back now to keep 'em from sliping but I'd rather something that just hooks behind the ear. I've looked on-line somewhat but been unable to find anything.

sorry to revive this tread but It seemed better then starting a new one.

**EDIT**

Nevermind I found something like what I was looking for on the Croakies page (not sure how the hell I missed it before).

smith reactor max on sale--

Had these for a year w/ no problem except for some scratched lenses: http://www.the-house.com/dynamic/Spy...Crys-thumb.jpg

Was just recently given these by a rich friend who said he's got tons of Oakleys:http://www.zappos.com/images/726/726...6-289556-d.jpg
They are amazing so far.
