[Closed] Photochromic lens riding glasses

I lost my Oakley RacingJacket glasses this weekend which I am not happy about, so I'm looking for a replacement.

I'm not sure Oakley are worth the cost, but I like the photochromic lenses, like I had. I never changed the lenses as they just worked in all conditions, and I used them on the road and off-road.

Anyone have any suggestions for alternatives? The Rad8 glasses look good, but I'm not keen on the blue frames.

Some of the Endura & Tifosi ones are good and cheap.

Jawbreakers with the clear photochromic lens.
The only glasses I can put on and forget about.
So much better than any other glasses I've used including racing jackets and half jackets.

I have two pairs of Endura - one pairs arms were slightly too long and bashed the back of my helmet..... a pair of sidecutters shortened them and they are both really comfey and I forget I'm wearing them.
I did actually get into the tent a couple of weeks back (1030 at night) after a good long ride, then realised I was wearing them when I lay'd down.

That is comfortable!

Have Lazer & Tifosi here. Both work well. Prefer the shorter arms on the Lazer as they don't interfere with the retention system on my Kask helmets at all.

Got some Uvex ones in that Canyon supersale, they are great.

Wont be wearing them for MTB though, way too nice to scratch up with grit and dirt.

Got some of the Uvex ones in the Canyon sale. They are really good, mine will be scratched up in no time though as road bike doesn't see much use. They do feel quite fragile

Decathlons own brand ones are excellent. They're only about 27 quid

Rudy Project Rydons here - very good but not sure they're much cheaper than Oakley's.

I might just get the EVZero Oakley's. There are some good prices out there.
