My trusty Oakley M-Frames bounced out of my jersey during on the weekend 🙁

Any recommendations for a replacement, Ideally one which is low fog, and stands up to significant amounts of wear & tear and general abuse.

There are loads of decent looking saftey glasses. I’ve been using a pair for over two years and they seem indestructible. Have a look at this google search for examples:

I’ve got the Scott
I’ve got the Scott interchangeable ones. They come with a reflective/sun lense and a clear version. They work in pretty much all conditions. I’ve never actually carried both lenses with me on my rides, but you could, which would certainly help if you hit large areas of sun/shaded sections.

I have just seen those Bolle Bandidos for £2.99WTF….then on another site for 50 notes??? One was an electrical site the other a health and safety site!!!

being of the “optically challenged” sector I use Rudy Project … Rydon in
my case so I have prescription insert + multiple lenses for all weathers.
My insert even has the now much needed varifocal addition … 🙂

For commuting, over the last
For commuting, over the last year I have been using Aldi specials £3.99 3 lens set clear tinted and yellow. Look good and not got a scratch on them after 12 months with 10 commutes per week on average. Bloody awesome to be honest. They still stock them I saw them a couple of days ago.

For everything else I have photochromatic lens spiuks. Can’t beat these type of lenses IMO.

For the first time in nearly 20 years I am Oakleyless.

Sold both my pairs in the run up to Christmas as I needed cash.

Having used them and ridden in them for years I was under the impression that they were completely beyond recognition as the best. That may still be true but I am not sure that with a young family I could ever justify the cost any more.

I dont like the new M frames that have been leaked to the internet so not fussed about what I have next.

BBB anyone?

I wear Bolle ‘Bandido’ all
I wear Bolle ‘Bandido’ all year around, very little need for actual sunglasses in the UK, works day and night. Just keep the wind and bugs out of my eyes. No frames blocking vision, very cheap as already suggested, so no worry about scratches or breaking. Imagine you are Bono.

+1 for the Bollé safety
+1 for the Bollé safety glasses. Available in clear or tinted, under a tenner.

Agree about the Bolle
I got a pair of the Bolle’s from a local electrical wholesaler, cheap as chips and look a little bit like the Assos ones (minus the £280).

if you haven’t been to
if you haven’t been to Screwfix yet, you may want to consider a pair of JSP Martcare Sports Clear Lens Safety Specs, (phew!)

Not a very catchy name, but for £4.99 you can’t go wrong really. I got these last year to use during the winter months and they are excellent.

Top stuff! looks like I’ve
Top stuff! looks like I’ve got to pick up more wood for the fire later so whilst I’m out I’m going to drop in Screwfix…as per some above it looks like you can get bolle/uvex types for under a tenner!

Has to be worth a shot

Glasses
Try straight lines.co.uk. They are safety glasses, in clear, yellow or dark. You can even have a prescription lense fitted for those of us that need reading help. Cost? About £8.00 pair I use them all year and they look like cycle specific glasses
