    Heaps of coverage means plenty of protection for your eyes, whatever the weather or light conditions, in the 100% S3 glasses.

    It feels wrong to be pulling at your glasses

    Yep, and the Oakley M-Frames I cack-handedly destroyed in an attempted speedy car park lens change 25 years ago attest to that. The photochromic lens looks like it could be a winner; will there be an update for it, if possible?

    They look lovely but certainly pricey

    how do they compare to the Madison enigmas, which come with a 3 lens pack for quite a bit less ? https://www.tweekscycles.com/madison-enigma-sunglasses-3-lens-pack-4000545/

    I loved my 100% s3 glasses, the hiper lenses have 0 distortion and great coverage. All until I took them off my face one day and the arm snapped near the hinge. Fine you think, I’ll just source a spare, but apparently that is not possible!

    My solution has been to buy a Chinese knockoff pair of 0% s3 glasses and use the frames from them. Perhaps now my glasses are 50%?

    Anyway, my point is with a pair of glasses at this price point you definitely should be able to get spares!! 🙁

    I ordered S3s and Enigmas and ended up keeping the Enigmas. Might just be my face but I had really bad distortion issues with a couple of pairs of 100%s. Didn’t end up taking either pair out of the house, just went straight back

    I use £12 ebay glasses and the only time I see any “distortion” is when they get wet with sweat or rain (obviously this causes me to instantly crash into a tree or bus). Distortion lol.

    Me too, Rockriders (or some other such nonsense) they’re £20.00, and given how frequently I either sit on, break, crack or loose sunglasses, it’s pretty much the maximum I’m going to spend.
