    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.

    I use Bollé safety glasses – tinted, clear or anti-flash – from work, but plenty on eBay/ Amazon or Screwfix/Toolstation for £7 a pair. No tears when get broken/scratched/lost.

    Had these for nearly 3 years. Only draw backs are that going into shaded sections can be a pain and the sun can glare with the rainbow mirrored lenses.

    Austerity measures
    I’ve had Oakleys for years and not averse to retail therapy for cycling must haves, but having lost / scratched / mislaid / left in the Carradice on the other bike, I bought several pairs of cheap safety glasses from Amazon that cost c£3-£5 each and they have been perfect for winter commutes, cyclocross, and generally abusing. I think they were by Lux – look OK, too, and they are wrap around, so no issues despite foul weather and mud flinging up.

    Strangely never seem to lose or scratch the cheap ones, only the expensive ones.

    I know they’re amazing! I snapped the arms off my ‘buckets’ (my prescription Oakleys) trying to make them a bit more snug.

    Told them and they sent me out a new pair of frames at cost.

    I’ve still got a few pairs of Mumbo lenses so actually might give them a call and see if they can help out, It a long shot but hadn’t even thought of that!

    Halfway through a Mountain
    Halfway through a Mountain Bike race, covered in mud and fogging badly, hastily stuffed them in a jersey pocket finished half blinded and they were not in my jersey.

    Scooted back around the course but by that point the mud and a number of riders going over the course meant I couldn’t see them…probably would have been run over at least once and knackered anyway.

    I’ve had some Bloc Leopard glasses which I’ve been pretty pleased with. They have interchangeable lenses (clear / yellow & dark) and are a good fit for those slightly small of face!

    Sounds like cheap and cheerful is the collective way forward through the muddy winter!

    It should give me enough time to save up for Radars for the summer!

    If you need a cheap temporary
    If you need a cheap temporary replacement while you try and find the perfect pair I can highly recommend the ~£20 BBB ones (I got from wiggle) – interchangeable lenses and don’t fog at all. Can’t remember what they’re called but they were around 20-25 quid when I got them.

    I’ve got some Lazer Solidstate, good venting and you can get them with transition lenses. Not had a problem with fogging even when stopped.

    Ive switched to the cheeper ones from Decathlon and Lidl/Aldi as they always seem to end up on the ground anyway.

    For anti fog you can get the spray from Motor Bike places that works well, but I dont tend to bother as its never a problem for me
