After wearing spectacles for the last 27 years I'm venturing into the bold world of contact lens as I keep trashing my prescription glasses.
I quite like riding without s**t in my eyes so looking for some glasses to keep the mud/poo/insects out that:
a) Cheap - Sub £50 (I'm northern so the cheaper the better)
b) Aren't going to steam up at the slightest temp change
c) Don't scratch when I wipe the summer mud from them
d) Don't make me look like Bono!! 😯
So any suggestions other than cheap safety specs??

Its bad enough looking like a fat Bo Selecta/Craig David, never mind throwing Bono in the mix

Planet x/On-one usually have a selection
bolle sillium
Bolle safety glasses from ebay, work out at about £6 a pair. They are impact resistant and comfy, oh and UV filtering probably better than your sunglasses
+1 for the Decathlon ones, I have a clear pair and they were only £4 when I got them.
Got a friend with the decathlon ones. They look ok
Go into a shop and try some on to see which fit best. I've used Tifosi for the last few years and they work well for me.
I know you said no safety specs, but.......

Bolle safety specs on eBay
£20 for 10 pairs mean there's a pair and spare in bag, pair in car and van, usually with spares and a pair in jackets etc.
Cheers guys. Will take a look at those suggestions.
Bolle Contours, the ESP version are very good
I tend to go for the cheapy polaris ones that you can get on CRC for around £11. I find these tend to be better than the bolle safety glasses, but they also don't break the bank
Leffeboy you fancy him 😉
Rudy rydon photochromatics. Then you can add the Rx insert if you don't get on with contacts. Use mine for road and mtb riding. And I'm a 43 year-experienced wearer of glasses.
