Cheap clear glasses?

Cheap clear glasses?

Got mine at Target, about $12.00.

I guess they are like shop glasses, but I find shooting glasses
excellent and cheap. Go to WalMart or KMart, etc., or a dedicated
sporting goods store, and look for them in the sporting goods (gun)
section. I saw a set for $12 at WalMart that included changeable
lenses-clear, grey, amber. The single glasses in amber or clear
usually run about $5; they can get scratched up after a while, but the
price is right.
Most shooting glasses wrap around and give good wind/bug protection.
Furthermore they usually do not have a rim on top that can block your
vision. The rim is less of a problem on a 'bent, but definitely
restricts vision on an upright bike where your head is directed
downward. I was in the market for dark glasses as mine are pretty
scratched and have lost the nose piece. Found a set in the shoe
section (near the steel-toed boots!) of a local WalMart that is
designated as safety glasses; they come in a protective plastic
box-maybe I won't scratch these up so easily if I return them to the
box before throwing them in a pannier. They seemed to fit will and
were only $5; cheaper than the $10 shades I find at convenience stores
(and better wrap-around protection).

A good quality pari of shop glasses is just the ticket.

I use a wrap around style pair of safety glasses made for use in the
sun. I paid $4.95 and they work great. None of those overpriced,
designer bike glasses for me. When I passed 40 years of age, I stopped
worrying about the cool factor.

I've been looking around forever for a pair of cheap clear glasses that I can
use at night for riding but everything I find are in bike shops and they cost
far too much money. Aside from going to the hardware store and getting some
shop glasses are there any inexpensive glear lense glasses I can get?

Several of my friends use those cheap hardware store glasses while
riding. They're usually very good quality for the price.

I agree with the safety glasses idea. I buy mine here:

at about $7 for clear or $8 for grey. I always keep a few pair
around, and toss them when they get too scratched.

Look up safety glasses. They are looking more and more like fashion shades.

In Texas, we have some stores called 'Big Lots'. (
http://www.biglots.com/ )

I bought a pair of clear glasses there, recently, for $1.99 and they
work very well for me.

Hope this helps.

How about $9.00 ~ $12.00 per dozen ?

I used ("safety glasses" dozen clear) to search with at
http://www.google.com/froogle or www.froogle.com or just froogle.com.

If you have not used Froogle it is a very good shopping tool
