New Sunnies

[HamboCairns]

Hambo was useful? Today has just been a weird day all round.

I find safety glasses (the cheapo Bunnings ones) fog up pretty easily. Any issues with the Bolle ones?

I used to not see the point of expensive oakleys but their current prism tech is pretty darn good for contrast compared to other brands. I was sceptical but after trying them they are really sharp. Can't you just find a set of oakleys that have enough coverage, they have pretty much any shape you want?

I'm a big Oakley fan - Holbrooks are the only sunnies I wear, had 5 pairs on the trot - but I also don't like the shape of any of their sports sunnies and fancy seeing what else is out there

If you are sensitive to sudden glare, photochromatic is not great. I've found in some instances they are way too slow to respond. Nearly binned it coming from the opening at bright into the dark tree covered part of the trail, basically lost vision and had to actually stop to wait for it to settle in.

Yeah agree. I'd get a photochromic lens for another pair for early morning riding but thats it

Which Oakleys do you have? I have a pair of knockoff Sutros that I like so much i've epoxied the arms back on multiple times & am now considering actually getting a legit pair.

Old pair of frameless ones, can't remember the model. Have a road tint though and not great for the trail

Sungod !

Was a Maui Jim slut for many years, now got 3 pairs of SunGod Renegades in different colours.

Mine are all 4KO Polarised, I had 2 pair before they released the 8KO, they are clear as a bell so couldn't see the point paying 50% more for the new 'better clarity' 8KO.

They're on the list for sure. I like the design but they're a bit exxy

What size head/face have you got? do you need a small, standard or large frame size?

as Calvin said, photochromic are a bit poo and slow to respond. They will never cut glare in bright sun, generally speaking

Pretty standard sized round head, but need some wider glasses for my normal prescription ones

Sometimes there is a discount code with Strava challenges, usually brings them down to $125 a pair.
Fair bit short if MJ's at $300 and tax claimable for some.

No but I wear them over my eyes.

Haha glad to help

Don’t be too hard on yourself. I regularly make decisions based on your opinion.

I look forward to seeing your new 29er hardcore hardtail.

Oh, you took that as a positive? Awkward.

Will keep an eye out for them, would be a good deal

Disappointed to make it this far without anyone recommending pit vipers! Be earned though, you need a wide head to get a good fit.

Too much Hentai will fog any glasses...

Impressed we got this far and still actually somewhat on topic!

New mod @dazz rules with an iron fist.

I’m using ‘euro’ riding glasses these days. Comfy and light, don’t sweat up, and were only about $30 from the LBS.
These, in white, but clear. 6 months in of daily use and I haven’t scratched them up yet.

Best pair of sunnies I had were a pair of Gloryfys, kept them for over eight years and they really were indestructible, unfortunately in the end they weren't un-misplace-able. Left them somewhere on holidays last year and have spent the last twelve months going through half a dozen different sets of other brands because I keep telling myself the price of new Gloryfys was ridiculous, this thread has finally convinced me to stop dicking around and just buy some. On the plus side I now have a feed full of adds from every cut price sunglass manufacturer on the planet.

Doesn't look like they do clear lenses any more.

Dunno. These were on the counter, needed a set, just grabbed them. Probably should have paid, in hindsight.

I've had quite a few pairs from euro. Generally pretty good bang for buck. They used to (may still?) have a good warranty/replacement system as well.

I have quite a few pairs of sunnies, they are a bit like shoes, and had done this with my favourite pair as well. They are ... Somewhere.

Don't worry the custodial sentences will be concurrent.
