I'm tired of wrecking and having my glasses ejected from my face at 20mph, causing permanent gouges in the lenses. So I bought sunglasses to wear instead but wearing them at night has only caused more wrecks. What kind of cheap glasses can I wear at night that are totally clear and don't look like something from the woodshop?



edit - Might as well tack this along with this thread:

Where can I find cool elbow pads?? Any NOS 80s BMX?

i cant believe youve started 103 threads...

You need somethign like this:



Except with clear lenses. Illustrated ones are swappable for different colour lenses.

Ryders has some cheap options w/ swappable lenses.
Tifosi has some nicer automagically tinting ones.

hahaha.

Home Depot is a good start. Safety goggles have gotten a lot less dorky sense you took chemistry in 8th grade. This one is $12.

edit- these are bifocals, but you get the idea.

i wear yellow lenses in interchangeable sunglasses

you want uvex

I use the Home Depot safety glasses myself at nightt Maybe not a fashion statement but WTF as long as my eyes are protected thats what counts.

What about croakies?

I wear prescription glasses and they have always done well by me. Not neccessarily the most stylish thing but beats $300 for new glasses.

maybe you should just stop wrecking??

all i can do since i saw this thread is sing the subject to the tune of "afternoon delight"

"eyyyye protection at night..."

i would go with the $12 hardware store safety glasses.

New thread ideas other members are working on:

"Where can I find a handlebar PBR can holder?"

"Can I convert this big wheel into a fixie?"

"How much weed do you stash in your mess bag?"

Tifosi

Good Options as far as interchangable lens, I have a pair I got on sale for $15.. they have worked great for over a year

How are amber lenses for night?

amber at night is bad i was in the marines...trust me...use NVGS at all time for spec ops night riding...for all normal riding use clear lenses.


edit, blue is the WORST at night...red is the BEST

Usually way to dark - think dark brown. No different in light transmission than an average gray lens. For night use, the darkest you would want to use is yellow. Clear is better.

Have you tried contact lenses? I like them much more than glasses because my vision is effing terrible (-9/20, no lie) and contacts allow me to have great peripheral vision. You really don't even notice them if you keep them clean.

get some of those headband things that slide over the arms of the glasses. a bit dorky, but if you gotta wear the glasses at night, itl get the job done.

+1

i use contacts and they work great. i was worried about them drying out at first, but after awhile they stayed moist throughout a long day. downside is they are expsensive, but only every year or so.

Yeah I'm alright without 'em, which is why I wear sunglasses when it's bright out.

Why not an action-strap for your regular glasses?

these but in clear
yes, they are quite ridiculous

get some visorgogs
they come in 5 colors!!!

Those on the Uvex site looked mighty tempting. If they're cheap, I'm buying the **** out of them.

Somebody with too much money should also buy those.
