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.

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'. (

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 ?
