Think I have asked this a while back and ended up with a pair of photochromic Bolle Ballers which were pretty good. Like this;

I used them for work as well which is why I need them to be safety glass EN166 rated so that I can rinse them through expenses. Anyway, I have managed to lose them along with my Galibier gloves (actually think they have been nicked) so I need to see if I can get away with a replacement pair. The Bolles were good but wouldn't mind a lighter/thinner frame. Anyone know of any other decent options?

Uvex and Bolle do tinted safety specs, worth looking at safety specs that look good for cycling.

Just looked at what you had.

All the ones I’ve seen are pretty chunky like that.

They are strength tested as a complete unit so the plastic frames are all quite thick.

Tried here?:  http://www.safetyspecs.co.uk

Not used the site myself, but did consider them before.

Instead I simply got a bolle spider frame reglazed on the cheap (so I'm not sure they technically still comply with EN 166) but I have used them as both safety specs and riding glasses..

Have seen that site, thanks. Have to be EN166 to get through accounts, think I'll just get another pair of the Ballers
