Doesn't seem to be any UK importers listed on their site? Trying to locate some lens for my Switcher glasses, I know the importer had some a few years back but I've lost the contact details.

Info appreciated

cheers

That was them - cheers.

Just emailed via their new i-ride site, Briko aren't listed as one of their brands anymore, can't say I feel hopeful in getting a response though.

Any dealers reading this, if you have some old stock email in profile - thanks.

Pete

Haven't seen Briko shades for a while.

Used to wear a pair of Briko Stingers way back - for riding and skiing. Mirrored blue lenses for the malevelont housefly look.

Still have them somewhere, but the wearing of such outlandish eyewear is banned by the wife...

...these look almost normal without the mirrored lens

The Switchers are a little bit fly looking too....

Jim Walker hasn't imported Briko since 05 apparently!

Any other leads...

I'vew got a pair of Brikos for prescrition lens fitting. I've tried another "unclippable" type (Rudy Project), but the "wrap-around" glass is too near the eyeball for good vision.

The Brikos have had one superglue job on them to re-attach an arm and 1: I hope they don't start falling apart over time and 2: as you say, they no longer seem available...
