Sunglasses - What is your choice?

[Blinkwing]

I wear photochromic lenses (get darker on exposure to sunlight) so no need for tinted visor or sunglasses.

Maybe when I get contact lenses, I'll experiment with tinted visors or sunglasses?

There's a guy down the supermarket who wears these really cool mirror glasses - I'll find out what brand the are as he looks soooooooooo cool, not. I think he may be a sexo and actually uses them to perv...

You may want something sensible

Sunglasses from NZ safety. As others have stated less than 10 bucks. Use to use Serengetti drivers but after 2 pairs broke, I suspect the pressure of the helmet on the side of the head pinches the frame and they both cracked at the pin where the lens joins the frame. Safety glasses I have no difficulty riding from sun / shade/ sun.

Oakley Gas cans are designed to fit inside a helmet. Thats what I have and they're awesome. Not cheap though but recommended.

I had a pair of fake Oakleys and they were shit.

I used to use Ray-Bans, but have since decided my Serengeti's are the best pair of sunglasses I've ever owned.

+1 for Serengetti's.
Edit: Serengetti "Drivers"

Yeah they're awesome. I never use plastic lenses, my glass lenses never fuck out even if you get a scratch on them.

This morning the right arm on my cheap-ass pair of sunglasses broke, so I made the decision to fork out some extra cash and get a good pair that in theory should last me a long time.
What are you guys wearing and how do you rate them for cost, safety and comfort? I'm looking closely at the Ugly Fish, cause they appear to be cheaper than WileyX and have the same construction. Thoughts?

Look for a pair with frame arms that are spring-loaded, meaning that they're able to bend backwards without breaking. I've had my current pair of Revos for 3 years now and they're not showing any signs of breaking any time soon. I used to wear Oakleys but this got VERY expensive as the frames would break at least once a year.

my input to this thread will be next to useless, because I wear prescription lenses in my sunglasses. they arent cheap. I do recommend polarised for driving but I dont like them in a helmet. Looking thru a clear faceshield you get the same effect as looking thru a car windscreen (multicoloured blotches and dots) but much worse. I wear my normal prescription glasses and a dark shield in summer for that reason.

glass is very heavy though. particularly in the thickness (Coke bottle) I need. I pay extra for the superthin hitech plastic ones. And I do try and lookafter them

[Crasherfromwayback]

My Ray Bans were heavy...the Serengeti's not so. But I don't need corrective lenses

Another for NZ Safety. Dirty Dog style safety glasses with dark tint. Don't give a rat's ass if they get dropped either. Cheap as chips.

[Headbanger]

Are shaded visors any good? Can you pop them on and off easily enough for day/night riding?

IMO they are shite.

Wait until your out at night and its raining.

Or at dusk and the bugs are thick.

Your choices are visor down, blind and die

or visor up-Get blinded and die.

I wear Bolle safety glasses from the safety shop, I paid about $40 a pair, well, My employer did as I wear/wore them all day,every day.

They look the bizzo and do the job well.

Yeah I've had a couple of pairs of Thailand specials too and they were OK but the real thing are worth every cent.

Dark tinted safety glasses made by AS/NZS 1337-1992 and some yellow ones for overcast conditions.
