Preferredly vented and not outrageously priced 😀

Builders safety specs. I picked up three pairs for £10 at a building show. Unbranded, lots of smart styles, same as sunglasses really, fit perfectly, ventilated. They do the job for me.
Bolle safety glasses - ebay is a good bet.
i "aquired" some safety specs, from a field trip.
gave them away, but the recipient doesnt ride without them.
shes had them for 3 or 4 years now....
bit like these,

wow, thats an awful picture.
sorry
bolles as TJ. about 6 quid. i'm quite fussy about seeing and a lot of safety specs distort at distance ( they are generally meant for close work after all ). the bolles are very good in this respect.
yep Bolles for me too - mine have a slight light enhancing coating too - screwfix for about £6 - £7
Suggest [url= http://www.probikekit.com/display.php?code=G1011 ]ProBikeKits[/url] own 5-lens jobs, £16 the lot + a neat 'hard' case (clear, yellow, orange, blue + smoke lenses). Quality's reasonable for the £.
Bolle Silium for me. About a fiver a pair, clear or smoke lenses.
Just bought two pairs of Bolle off eBay for £10
Am I the only one who can't see the point in clear glasses? Everyone I know you actually wears glasses (in everyday life) wear contacts when they ride because glasses get on their nerves! Water / mud splashes affecting your vision, and steaming up on slow sections.
Or are they just another fashion statement to say "I'm a serious cyclist" like walkers wearing gaiters on canal towpaths...
*Prepares for the onslaught...* 😆
uh, so you don't get mud, grit, bugs etc in your eyes. Good/vented ones don't mist up.
You can seriously injure your eyes if you get something in them at speed e.g. branch. Doctor friends have said they've seen a few mtb'ers who've badly damaged their eyes.
Aldi - £3 with 3 sets of lenses. Some of the best clear lense cycling glasses that I have ever had!
Every time a stone/bee/branch hits my clear glasses (and they've all happened) then I remember why I wear them 🙂
If I don't have glasses on my eyes water continuously - treat the glasses with hydrophobic coatings - bob heath visor spray on the inside and rainx on the outside and steaming up / water is not much of an issue except climbing slowly when I can take em off.
+1 for Bolle. Available at screwfix. Keeps the dog poo out of my eyes!
I started wearing glasses years back when I used to commute – I used to get a lot of eye infection especially in Autum & winter – since wearing glases I’ve not had any – differing coloured lenses can help with depth perception and genral light contrast eg amber lenses for dull/overcast days – clear lenses for poor light & night riding – as others have set the stone chips in the lenses are better then in me
Endura Spectrum
I'm interested in this too (so drop everything:-)).
These Bolle clears; what model/type am I looking for?
Oh, Del glad to see our concerns for your safety after Saturday were unfounded 🙂
I use Bolle Contours with clear and tinted lenses.
I have bolle sileum now. I havve also used contours.
Go on the bolle site and take your pick - they have loads

if you see this and get a pair get another set for me? i'll split the post. could do with a spare set.
Another vote for Bolle here, mine are BL10s,cost me £3. Not vented but a bit of Nikwax Visorproof stops them misting up. I like them so much I got a tinted pair as well.
As to why wear clear glasses... I have decent mudguards so spray/mud in the eyes is rare but I find that at speed my eyes often tear up, so these stop that completely. Maybe not for everyone but it really makes a big difference for me.
Will do, Del old chap
ess ice glasses, issued to UK troops, always loads on ebay. Balistic rated and come with a carry case, 3 interchangeable lenses, no fog cloth and head band. Very durable and comdy to wear too!
i got the clear endura ones, they look ok, but they do mist up a fair bit unlike my old spesh glasses i once had
how do the bolles hold up to misting up?
Bolle Spiders - I've had them and the Silium's. They do scratch quite easily, but at £6 a pair, so what?

I use Caterpillar 'Tread' safety specs. They're very similar to those Bolle Spiders.
Glad I looked at this thread, Bolles for my winter specs then. Cheers.
Just ordered myself some more spiders off fleabay
