£3.99 Aldi polarised fish specs at the moment. Comfortable and good eye coverage if the right style. They should have some left this week.

I was up on the N. Yorks moors when a sunny day turned within seconds to swirling mist as in 'An American Werewolf in London'. I took off the sunnies and instead of doing the sensible thing and stopping to put them in my pack I put them in my shorts pocket, thinking 'I had better not fall off'. Within 10 mins I got cross rutted, flew over the bars and of course landed on the side where the glasses were in the pocket. I was quite surprised they broke because they have actually been run over by a car and just needed clipping back together, but this time the plastic mounting points had snapped.
Perhaps it was a message from The Powers That Be , I am never to have sunglasses againPosted 11 months ago # -
I got some from decathlon for about £10 with various lenses. Out of all the ones I've tried, they were best on the bike glasses / sunglasses yet.
Comfy and don't steam up much and don't allow wind into your eyes much either.
These are the nearest I could find there now...

Not so cheap but rayban wayfarers are pretty indestructible and look coooooool.

Oakleys obviously aren't a cheaper option, but they're great to wear and if the threads n here are to be believed their CS is very good at repairing/ replacing broken glasses for cost.
I've always used cheaper glasses before, but after getting my first pair of Oakley's 18 months ago I've not looked back- currently have three pairs for different uses! Vented Jawbones with VR28 lenses for daytime use, and Flak Jacket's with a clear lens for night-riding.
A good tip for getting the Flak-Jackets at a good price is getting the the Standard Issue (SI) ones which are all black, the prices have risen since last year, but I should imagine they're still much better value than the normal ones.
