    Rudy Project Kerosenes OR Briko Sprinter 3. I would welcome your comments on the two sunglasses. I'm
    leaning towards the RP's at the moment after reading some poor reports of Briko's after sales
    service plus the RP's good venting characteristics. Anyone know if you can get the kerosenes for
    less than 49.95 pds (Colin Lewis cycles www.clcycles.co.uk )

    With the prescription inserts or without? I have the kersenes with inserts - quite comfortable, mist
    up slightly when stopped in very cold weather but clear rapidly once you start moving again. Rain
    tends not to get between the lens and the insert, which is a blessing.

    without the prescription inserts. "mist up slightly when stopped in very cold weather" at warmer
    temperatures, when stopped or going up a steep hill, they're OK?

    Yes, perfectly satisfactory. Probably OK when stopped without the inserts, as well. I have grey,
    clear and polaroid inserts; the polaroids are a bit tricky to get in (stiffer) but still not too
    bad, all the others slip in and out easily and have never come loose.

    I'm quite happy with the Rudys and would probably buy the same again. But get a retaining cord of
    the Chinese finger trap variety rather than the Larry Grayson pattern.

    Love your email address, by the way. Makes me want to shout DRINK!!!

    I have the prescription inserts fitted to my Kerosenes, they mist up like b*gga*y when it's really
    cold, sometimes I took them off and made do with dodgey eyes when mtbing.

    BUT the good news, on a day like today they remain totally mist free, even when stopped to admire
    the view or slogging uphill at 7 or 8 mph. I've had 'em a couple of years now and they have my seal
    of approval!

    I will be honest, I have no significant experience of using them offroad. I use them almost
    exclusvely on road.
