  1. I'm looking for a good pair of cycling sunglasses preferably with interchangeable lenses. As I wear
    contact lenses I find my eyes streaming at any great speed and dirt and grit are a great problem, so
    clear lenses that can give total protection are a must. Any recommendations??

  2. I use the Madison ones - d'Arcs, I think. They seem to serve well enough that there's no need for
    anything more expensive.

    These are cheap and cheerful. I have a really bad habit of scratching the lenses, so I find that
    buying cheap and replacing often works well for me.

    Or merely reasonably well off... ;-/

    Or something else happens to fit your face better, and thus more comfortably. They're all slightly
    different shapes and sizes, just the extent to how insanely expensive they are isn't a useful guide
    in itself as to how well they'll work on a given head.

  6. I have just bought a nice pair with dark, yellow and clear interchangable lenses.

    Made by Olypus, reduced from 15 pound to 5 pound at JJB Sports.

    No worries when I break them next time I rip my helmet off because a wasp gets trapped in the vents
    (like the last ones)

    The cost thing was a joke.

    Yes, they're expensive but I honestly think they're some of the best glasses around. The optics are
    superb and the replaceable lenses on M-frames and strong and available in just about any shade you
    care to name.

  10. I've been using a pair of Bloc Stealth's for over a year now, very good coverage, lightweight, and
    come with three lenses easily interchanged. Optics are good too. Wiggle www.wiggle.co.uk has them on
    special offer for £24.99 right now. Happy cycling!
