Eyewear for Cyclists

I find that they can work against you on foggy days. The fine droplets of moisture in the atmosphere constantly build up on the lens reducing visibility to zero. I usually end up not using glasses in such weather.

They must have been better than ones that I bought although in fairness I can't remember if they came from Aldi or Lidl

These are pretty good, but old. Thinking about it, I could have had them six years or more. Maybe the more recent models have suffered in terms of quality.

I use these Voltx bifocal glasses they come in various strengths and makes it possible to read your bike computer screen with ease. I bought all three and find them great, the darker ones are excellent in summer as they are not too dark. They are available on ebay or amazon at around £10.00pr

Dunno, but it sounds impressive doesn't it, just like their claims of 'Thermonuclear Protection'

My glasses make the world look brighter. So much so that you end up wearing them when it is dark and you look like a right w**ker... In any case after wearing them for a while you get these mind tricks when you take them off everything looks like it is false 3-D, that would please soundwave I bet

Wow-They won't be selling any of these at that price up here in Yorkshire... They say a Yorkshire man is like a Scotsmen but with the generosity squeezed out!

I suffer from eye watering with wind, especially in cold weather, so even the side open specs style is no use since the wind eddies around the edges makes matters worse than no eye wear.

The only ones that work really well for me are the tiny eyeball enclosing goggles that the roadies wear, but they look ridiculous on an upright sitting utility cyclist.

So my compromise has been a pair of cheap goggles that wrapped around close enough at the sides to do a reasonable job. However for my very local riding now such as shops etc, I just keep the speed down to avoid the need of eye protection.
.

flecc I can highly reccomend something like the Bolle Tracker for your particular issue. They seal right against the skin all round the eye. Comfy too as the seal is a high density foam. I use mine for 8hrs+ when doing Airsoft and they have yet to cause me any discomfort.
