Oakley have some crossover variants which can use sport lenses.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
I spend a decent amount of time on the Oakley website having a look, think I need to hit the LBS and have a look.Oakley have some crossover variants which can use sport lenses.
Crossrange is nowhere near as offensive, casually, as a Flight Jacket.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but my private health insurance gives me $200 per family member back on optical each year (Not limited to prescription). The kids have been known to buy some sunglasses on our behalf - very thoughtful of them
I mentioned they are slow to respond. But nonetheless I still wear them out riding. The situations where you come out of bright sun and into thick bush quickly are pretty rare. Mystic would be one of those trails, but most others the transition is a lot more gradual. Most places have moderate coverage and this doesn't make you go blind in 2 seconds like shredding in open sun then going straight into a thick plantation.Does anyone own photocromic lenses and get on well with them?
That's good to know! I think I'll pull the trigger on some cheap pink shades then.I mentioned they are slow to respond. But nonetheless I still wear them out riding.

A few of the guys I snowboard with have such lenses on $$$ goggles and love them. In theory those bolle glasses should be of a good quality.Ok I need to stop fucking about and get some new riding sunnies.
I was looking at the $40 Bolle ones at Pushys but someone mentioned that photocromic lenses are a bit slow to transition and suffer from glare. Does anyone own photocromic lenses and get on well with them?
I like lightly tinted sunnies & goggle lenses in bright sunlight, or clear on overcast days or night riding (well duh...).Am I the only one that doesn't like tinted glasses for MTB? On the roadie I have some nice Shimano riding sunnies (which i got bent over for at the bike hire shop in Mallorca - 80 euros...), but for riding in and out of shadows in the bush I prefer clear lenses.
Exactly the same for me - cant tell if its a root or a rock or a hole or just a shadow...I like lightly tinted sunnies & goggle lenses in bright sunlight, or clear on overcast days or night riding (well duh...).
I find most lenses have too much tint for me. The irony being that my eyes are hypersensitive to light, so you would assume I would want a dark tint, but nope. While dark lenses makes the bright bits more manageable, it feels like the shadows just turn to black - not shades of grey - so texture and depth/object perception is lost.
I'm with you. Eyes are really sensitive to light generally, but I almost never wear sunglasses on MTB, even in the middle of summer at Youies. If I do it's the pink tint Oakley Prizm low light lenses only (and my goggles are the same), and that's really just protection from flying shit (or cold air in winter), not tint. Anything darker I feel like I can't see a fucking thing.I like lightly tinted sunnies & goggle lenses in bright sunlight, or clear on overcast days or night riding (well duh...).

Probably unlikely to get a root on a public trail.Exactly the same for me - cant tell if its a root or a rock or a hole or just a shadow...
Isn't there that section of the Yarra Trail, the night riders are particularly fond of?Probably unlikely to get a root on a public trail.
You're just not going to the right trails.Probably unlikely to get a root on a public trail.
