What sunglasses are best for cycling?

Question

Doing a lot of cycling lately, and i am sick to death of flies doing in my eyes!!

I am after some sunglasses for cycling, i have tried just normal sunglasses, but they are shaped wrong and the wind goes straight in your eye.

Ideally, some with changeable lenses would be good.

thanks

Answer 1

Wrap arounds.

Answer 2

I got these pair of sunglasses.  I use them to train for my Half and Full Ironman (include 112 miles of biking).

They are great.  Got interchangeable lens.  And best of all cheap!

I had them for three years..never had a problem.

Answer 3

My favorite sunglasses are Smith Catalyst. They are shaped great for me and they have interchangable lenses. Depending on the color you get, they come stocked with a dark lense, a medium color lense, and a light lense depending on what weather you are in. Plus, they are cute!

Answer 4

There are many many brands of sunglasses that make styles for cycling; some have wrap-around styling, but usually the ones with interchangable lenses are more traditional in styling.  Check out Oakley and Rudy Project if you want to go high-end, or Ryder, Specialized,etc. for more moderately priced stuff.

Answer 5

get the sunglasses called Blu Blockers

There really good to wear while ur doing sports

They have them in all diffrent shades and styles

And they cover your eyes really good

So the sun and bugs will stay out from all diffrent angels

Look them up.hope I helped! xx

Answer 6

There are lots of good ones.  I've owned most Oakley models since they started making cycling glasses years ago and have been generally happy with them.

But I want to point you to what I wear now, which are by far the best cycling glasses I've ever owned: Rudy Project Kerosenes.  Not cheap, but worth every penny, and the temple pieces are by far the most comfortable I've ever worn.  They are wrap around, light weight, and multi-lens capable.

If your budget is tight check out the store brand wraparounds that Performance sells.  Always look for an online coupon before ordering from Performance because they are constantly featuring sales.

Happy riding.

Answer 7

you can buy cycling glasses that have a small rear view mirror on them

Answer 8

I wear Madison D'arcs both on & off road. 3 lenses, including a proper Persimmon light enhancing lens, clear, and obviously tinted. They are widely available for under 30 quid, each lens is a single piece of plastic rather than 2 separate lenses making them easy to swap, they're light, comfortable for all day riding and they're durable. I would not consider ordinary shades for cycling as they're a pain in poor light

Answer 9

I'm not sure, but I think the "aviator" wrap round ones may be better than most.. These can prevent insects from getting into your eyes.
