sunglasses

[Packer]

I took a different route for riding glasses. I need reading glasses these days so couldn't see the map in my tank bag. I got a pair of bifoculs made with plain lens for distance and my reading prescription for the close up lower lens. I then specified them with photochromic material and thin flexible titanium frame. Not cheap but unbelievably useful on the bike, on holiday, sailing (when I need to regualrly check charts) etc. No good if you are too vain to wear bifoculs of course

Ohh Schtum, yes they do react properly behind my System 5 Pinlock visor.

Swissone Crackerjacks.Cost under £5 a pair and are "safety glasses". Come in a few tints - yellow, blue, smoke, clear etc.

I bought a box of 10 and when one pair gets scratched, I bin them. Very very comfy under the lid.

Madison Ravens for me ...

the arms are flexible, which makes getting them on dead easy. Beed riding with these for a couple of years now - no complaints.

I had a pair of Bolle sun glasses a few years ago - in fact they are probablt still around somewhere.... Really comfortable and great optically. I have a pair of Ray Bans which when I wear them with a visor, create all sorts of weird ligting effects. Te best way I can describe it is that any remotely shiny surface looks like the mother of all diesel spills on a wet road. Trippy

Oh and they make LCD's go black! Any suggestions for something cheap, effective and comfortable welcome!

Your Ray-Bans must be polarised. I don't know if you need prescription glasses but I had prescription lenses made up for my Ray-Bans by a small dispensing opticians in Kirkcaldy. Since you're in West Lothian, he also has the opticians shop on Broxburn High St. £25.00 for a pair of prescription lenses for my Ray-Bans seemed like a very good deal.

I've bought Bolle 'safety' sunglasses from HERE before - amazingly low prices when compared against High Street designer labels
