Looking for some new and good quality riding glasses, possibly reactive tint lens rather than removable, though these are possible- which ones are good?

Well pleased with my Rudy Project reactive glasses. Take a few seconds to lighten up when riding into thick forest cover but go clear so that they can be used for night riding too.

+ 1 for the Rudy Project, best by far, and I have had several Oakley and Spesh.
Also the only riding glasses that don't fog up.

I get on well with the Tifosi reactive lenses, have had a couple of sets for several years now. Pretty good value too.

Adidas Evil Eyes, the lenses are brilliant at stabilising light, expensive but very comfortable,

Got a set of Tifosi Fototec ones which work and have decent optics for the price. Picked them up new on Ebay for £30.

Really? Why so? I have a pair of Flak Jackets with the persimmon/black iridium lens and find them to be utterly marvellous in pretty much everything apart from really fast changes of light (Dappled sunlight in open woodland, for example)

I like the spesh adaptalite. Have two pairs, one for roadies one for mtb.

Im referring to the transissions ones.
They just dont go dark enough for use in sunlight which rather defeats the point of them transitioning for low light use. Id rather wear my black iridiums and take them off when I hit the trees.

Have to disagree there. Have used mine at altitude on snow in glaring sun and eyes still felt very comfortable.

Maybe your eyes are banjaxed after too long staring at spreadsheets... 😉

Where's best for Rudy Projects, are they & Tifosi Fototec any good for fat heads?
